Improving mental toughness for better teamwork

IMPROVING MENTAL TOUGHNESS FOR BETTER TEAMWORK

(FOR ORGANIZATIONAL GROUPS ONLY)

Mental toughness

“Strong minds suffer without complaining; weak minds complain without suffering.”  

Lettie cowman

The quote may sound a little harsh. Nevertheless, in my opinion the mind is where our greatest potential lies. When we grow our mental toughness, we can rise above our struggles and improve our ability to move away from illogical beliefs, destructive addictions, irrational superstitions, and other forms of self-destruction. In addition, mental toughness helps us keep our fears under control, be humbler about our views, invest less energy into criticizing others and more energy into solving problems.

Strategic differentiators like leadership, change management, teamwork, sales, service, and wellness are enhanced by having staff who become mentally tougher.

A definition of mental toughness 

My definition of mental toughness goes beyond the limiting description of a killer instinct or a high pain and panic threshold.

I define it as the ability to manage your mind so that it is not distracted and directs your energy to the right place, at the right time, for the right reason. With mental toughness, you can give your best performance consistently, regardless of what is going on within and around you. In this way, you become the best possible version of yourself.
