Description

Mental Toughness – The Secret Ingredient for your success and wellbeing. How to thrive in in a world full of challenge, setbacks, problems and opportunity

The World of Sales is characterised by challenge and opportunity often tempered by setback and threat. In this world, we must learn to do more than survive. We must develop the capability to thrive. Resilience is a valuable quality which helps you to survive. But it is Positivity and Optimism that, when added, brings the capability to see and seize opportunities that others don't.

Research confirms that Resilience and Positivity together create the mental conditions for success and wellbeing. This is Mental Toughness. Mental Toughness describes the "invisible" mental approach everyone adopts in everything they do. It’s having the psychological edge to deal with the ups and downs or work and life.

It’s a "secret" because we can't see it. Incredibly well evidenced, today we can understand and assess this with confidence "making the invisible visible". And its developable… if you are SELF AWARE about your Mental Toughness and act on that.
