SUMMARY:Mental Toughness Online Conference – Optimising Performance and Wellbeing in Times of Crisis and Chaos
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce that on Friday 16th October 2020\, The University of South Wales will be collaborating with AQR International\, to bring you\, the ‘Mental Toughness Conference 2020’. \nThis highly interactive online event will showcase the latest thinking in ‘Mental Toughness’ and its implications for coaching and people development from the eyes of both academics and practitioners. \nMental Toughness is an aspect of our personality that determines how we deal mentally with stress and pressure\, and how we can see change as an opportunity to group and develop. Widely used in Coaching and Mentoring around the world\, it embraces notions such as Resilience\, Mindset\, Grit and Learned Optimism. \nWhat is Mental Toughness? \nGlobal research shows that Mental Toughness is a major factor in: \n\nPerformance – explains up to 25% of the variation in attainment\nPositive Behaviour – more engaged\, positive and “can do” attitude\nWellbeing – more contentment and better stress management\nAspirations – more positive about opportunities and open to learning\n\nRecent events have tested to the extreme our capacity to respond positively and to manage the most difficult events. In today’s VUCA world\, this kind of disruption is not new and comes round more often than ever before. As uncomfortable as it may be\, the pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to learn how to cope with future disruptions. \nWellbeing is also right at the top of the agenda. Assessing and understanding an individual’s mental responses is vital in formulating strategies to optimise current wellbeing as well as ensuring when normality is restored\, individuals are in the best place mentally get going again. \nMental Toughness is universal\, applicable in all walks of life. It has a particularly appropriate application in dealing with sustained adversity\, setback and crisis and doing so positively. \nHow will this event help you? \nThis is a unique opportunity to explore this fundamental aspect of people development. You will hear from some of the world’s leading practitioners and academics in the field of Mental Toughness. \nAttendees will be provided with an opportunity to complete the Mental Toughness Questionnaire\, a well-evidenced psychometric\, free of charge (RRP £55). The associated psychometric measure supports both diagnosis and evidence-based practice. The concept describes the mental responses that every person adopts in everything they do. \nIn short\, in an age of unprecedented complexity\, turbulence and change\, our mental toughness matters. \nThis conference is aimed at coaching and mentoring practitioners and facilitators\, training and HR managers\, business leaders – anyone that wants to embed a coaching culture within their organisation. \nFormat\nYou will hear from some of the world’s leading practitioners and academics in the field of Mental Toughness. There will be several interactive\, online masterclasses throughout the day designed to demonstrate the practical use of the concept. Closer to the time\, the full running order and ability to book places onto your chosen sessions will be made available. \nBooking \nTickets cost £70 per person.

SUMMARY:INTRODUCTION TO MENTAL TOUGHNESS AND RESILIENCE IN YOUNG PEOPLE (AFTERNOON SESSION)
DESCRIPTION:Doncaster Council\, in partnership with AQR International\, is running a half day conference introducing the Mental Toughness concept\, how we assess it and how to develop it in young people.\nWe are inviting you to join an exciting pilot project to develop a Mental Toughness and Resilience toolkit with year 6 and 7 pupils. \nThis will be a two-year project tracking year 6 pupils through transition and into year 7. It offers opportunities for primary and secondary schools to collaborate and work in partnership to improve pupils’ mental toughness and resilience. Research indicates that these are key skills in children managing their learning and adapting to new situations and challenges. This is particularly important during year 6 with rigorous tests followed by transition into secondary school. There is further evidence to suggest that many pupils particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds struggle to adapt to the new challenges of secondary school. \nThe project forms part of the Doncaster Children and Young People’s Plan 2017-2020 has identified key themes of Achievement\, Healthy and Happy as priorities for action. This includes ensuring children and young people are resilient and equipped to access education\, employment or training. Children and young people’s voice-driven priorities tell us that they want to be equipped to handle bullying\, be more resilient and better able to handle difficult situations. \nThe aim of the mental toughness and resilience project is to gain a clearer understanding of how children and young people living in Doncaster deal with adversity and the effect this has on their school attendance\, performance\, welfare and behaviour. \nAs part of the project\, schools will receive comprehensive training on the concept of mental toughness\, psychometrics\, mental toughness development interventions. There is no cost to the school to participate as this is funded through the Doncaster Schools Forum. \nThe Conference:\nAQR International are facilitating a half-day conference to introduce the concept of mental toughness\, the origins of the concept and the key research and benefits of Mental Toughness in education. Delegates will have the opportunity to try the Mental Toughness Questionnaire and experience some taster activities. \nThe conference will be held at Castle Park\, Armthorpe Road\, Doncaster on Monday 26th November with morning and afternoon sessions available. \nKeynote speakers include:\n\nProfessor Peter Clough – Peter is Head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Huddersfield. He is the global leading authority on Mental Toughness. Peter has taken the concept and made it widely accessible to a spectrum of sectors including education. Peter has published a number of key papers on Mental Toughness in education.\nDr John Perry – Dr Perry is Head of Psychology at Mary Immaculate College in the Republic of Ireland\, having previously been a senior lecturer at Hull University and Leeds Trinity University. John has also published a number of key research papers on Mental Toughness in education.\nDoug Strycharczyk – Doug is the CEO for AQR International\, an innovative test developer\, which he founded in 1989.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar - Introducing MTQPlus - United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:The next level of mental toughness:\nMental Toughness is an aspect of our personality which determines how we deal with stress\, pressure and challenge and how we can see change as an opportunity to grow and to develop. \nA major research and development project\, based on practice over the past 15 years\, led by Doug Strycharczyk and supported by an elite academic team led by Prof Peter Clough (Huddersfield University) and Dr John Perry (Mary Immaculate College\, Ireland) reviewed the model and found that we can take the Mental Toughness concept to the next level. \nThis means that the 4Cs framework can now be expanded into an 8-factor MTQ framework enabling users to dig deeper into understanding “how we think”. It is a major development in helping practitioners understand why their clients behave the way they do and why they respond emotionally the way they do. \nThe webinar will look at this important development of the mental toughness model and will examine briefly: \n\nIntroduce the new mental toughness framework and what it brings to users\nThe major changes and their implications for practitioners\nThe research behind the model and how it embraces\, and links with\, other key concepts\n\nBook Place\nProfile:\nDoug is the CEO for AQR International – founded in 1989\, AQR is now recognised as one of the most innovative (and fast growing) test publishers in the world working in more than 80 countries. \nAQR established its reputation initially as a leader in Team Building and Leadership Development. His work has been featured on BBC Television where Prof John Adair described the material as “highly effective”. \nIn recent years\, Doug has worked with Professor Peter Clough to define mental toughness and to create the world’s leading measure of mental toughness. Doug is now recognised as a leading authority on the application of mental toughness to organisations of all types and to the world of education. \nBook Place\nYou will learn:\n\nWhat is the enhanced mental toughness concept and what the additional subscales.\nThe increased applications and what this means for the world of coaching\, training and teaching and for people and organisational development\nHow to assess and develop using the new MTQPlus measure and framework\n\nEach participant will be provided with the opportunity to complete the MTQPlus psychometric measure in full confidence and free of charge. \nBook Place
