In November 2024, Iridia’s President, Vern Biccum, and Ilia Poznak, ICF Certified Coach and Organizational Psychology Expert, came together for an insightful webinar exploring how the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ+) can help psychologists and coaches enhance client performance, resilience, and well-being.
Grounded in science and supported by over 200 academic studies, the MTQPlus provides a measurable framework for understanding how individuals respond to stress, pressure, opportunity, and challenge – the key ingredients of mental toughness.
Highlights from the Session
– Understanding the 4Cs Model: The MTQ+ measures four core areas of mental toughness — Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence — offering a comprehensive view of an individual’s psychological resilience.
– Turning Insight into Action: By identifying specific mental strengths and development areas, practitioners can design coaching or therapeutic interventions that promote sustainable growth and improved outcomes.
– Beyond Assessment: The MTQ+ isn’t just a diagnostic tool — it’s a framework for reflection, conversation, and long-term behavioural change.
– Real-World Application: From executive coaching to organizational development, mental toughness principles help clients navigate uncertainty, manage stress, and approach challenges with confidence.
Why It Matters
Mental toughness has become an increasingly important focus in psychology and coaching, bridging the gap between mindset and measurable outcomes. Tools like the MTQ+ provide the clarity and structure needed to translate self-awareness into actionable growth.
At Iridia, we’re committed to equipping professionals with science-backed tools that enhance both personal and organizational performance. This session with Vern and Ilia exemplified how data-driven insights can empower individuals – and their clients – to achieve lasting transformation.
