Mindsets – Mental Toughness for Challenging Times webinar

Mindsets – Developing Mental Toughness to survive in a crisis. An introduction to the 4 Dimensions of Mental Toughness – Control, Commitment, Challenge, Confidence. This webinar was presented on 21 April 2020.

The world has changed, and we have all entered a new reality as a result of a dangerous killer virus. This change has hit us at pace and required massive adjustments in our lives. Upheaval, stress, fear, dealing with the unknown, managing multiple crisis situations – yet we are expected at the same time to master new tools, new ways of working, work in isolation, connect virtually and perform and keep our businesses alive.

We are all in a strange new fight for survival in some form – physical, mental, business and livelihood. We’ve all heard about how to protect ourselves physically, but how can we do this mentally? Mental Toughness is a quality you can develop to survive in this new reality. This webinar introduced you to the subject of mental toughness and start you on the path to developing and strengthening this aspect of your personality.
