Mental Toughness

Mental Toughness 4 C’s is a highly visual, interactive, relevant and inclusive workshop

What is Mental Toughness?

  • Can We Assess and Develop It?

Mental Toughness is a moderately plastic personality trait that determines how individuals respond mentally to stress, pressure, opportunity and challenge.

Research shows that Mental Toughness correlates closely with performance, well-being, positive behaviour and aspirations. It has a significant impact on most key outcomes in the world of education, and it applies to leaders and staff as well as to students.

Our student Mental Toughness 4C’s workshop overview:

  • An Introduction to Mental Toughness? Short description of history and applications.
  • Debunk the myths of Mental Toughness
  • The 4c’s: Control, Commitment, Challenge, Confidence
    Each core area is unpacked with an explanation of the concept, a compelling facilitator story and strategies to build the area and engaging and inclusive activity.
  • Students give strength-based feedback in small groups using VIA Strengths cards in the last activity. (GOLD!)
  • Option to include a free self-assessment in the handout provided, or the MTQ-48 student assessment

MTQ48 Education – Suitable for 11 to 17 years
We recommend a half or full-day program when using the reports- an option for Student Leaders or Mentors

As a concept, Mental Toughness embraces other well-known concepts and ideas such as resilience, grit, mindset, learned optimism, learned pessimism and most definitions of character. We can also incorporate VIA Character Strengths for a full-day session.

“I enjoyed the strengths cards with the blindfold activity. The area about confidence had the biggest impact because I usually lack it a bit.” Luke Year 11 Cabra College
