Functional Fluency


The Functional Fluency model was designed to help us to understand our behaviour and our interactions with others. It allows us to make choices about how we want to behave in the moment, and it helps us to have more understanding for the way other people are behaving. Learning how to pause, reflect on what is happening for ourselves and others, and make a choice about our next step is a powerful life skill.

Consider these questions:

  • Do you find yourself struggling to reach your personal and/or professional goals?
  • Do you find yourself getting into the same situation repeatedly without any resolution?
  • Are you hesitant to take action that you know will improve your life?
  • Do you put more effort into your work than into your personal life?
  • Do you ever censor yourself because you worry about the consequences?
  • Do you have trouble setting boundaries for yourself and/or others?
  • Do you ever blame something or somebody for your misfortune?
  • Do you ever walk away angrily if things don’t go your way?


If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, an understanding of Functional Fluency could help you make the changes you would like to see.

The Temple Index of Functional Fluency (TIFF©) tool provides individuals, teams and organisations insight into how they currently use their energy. As a licensed TIFF© provider, I can support you to make different behavioural choices that can build positive and enabling relationships in both professional and private contexts.


If you are not already a coaching or counselling client, I offer a standalone Functional Fluency package which includes:


  • Your individual TIFF© profile
  • 90-minute TIFF© debrief session
  • 1 hour TIFF© follow-up session 6-8 weeks later


The cost of this package is £250 and the debrief and follow-up sessions can be held in person in Edinburgh or online via Zoom.


Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
