No. Functional Fluency is the model, the basis, created by Susannah Temple. Extremely valuable for individuals and professionals, for anyone who wants to work effectively with others without wasting energy. But to gain insight into yourself, we recommend you complete a TIFF© questionnaire which you can discuss with your TIFF© Provider. TIFF© is an abbreviation for Temple Index of Functional Fluency.
The TIFF© (Temple Index of Functional Fluency) is an international award-winning coaching and personal development tool based on the Functional Fluency Model. It consists of an online questionnaire and (after completion) a one-to-one collaborative feedback session with a TIFF© Provider. The outcome is a unique, co-created profile, with discussion, support and guidance for how to put it to use. The TIFF© process puts the personal back into personal development, boosting morale, emotional literacy, self-motivation and informing behavioural change. TIFF© can help us see clearly how people behave, where they focus their energy and how effectively they do that. The self-awareness, interpersonal skills and understanding gained from TIFF© enhances people’s abilitiy to build relationships effectively and make better decisions.
The TIFF© feedback process involves the client exploring their personalised profile with their licensed TIFF© provider. It is not a personality test and the feedback is not computerised. There is no typecasting or categorising of people. Through our accredited online courses – the four main Functional Fluency and TIFF© training programmes – helping professionals around the world are able to use Functional Fluency and the TIFF© personal self development tool, so they can pass on the benefits to their clients through meaningful individual encounters.
There are TIFF© Providers in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, South Africa, India, Brazil, Australia and in the Caribbean. To find out more please visit the People page on this website.
To become a licensed provider you need to attend a TIFF© Provider Licensing Training (TPLT) course. For more information please visit the Certifications page on this website.
All participants who sign up for and complete the TIFF© Provider Licensing Training (TPLT) automatically receive a one year FFI Standard Membership when they qualify. For those TIFF© Providers who would like to expand their scope as practitioner, renew or sign up for an extended membership, there are two further enhanced annual membership upgrade options available. For more information please visit the Memberships page on this website.
The questionnaire is currently available in English, Dutch, German, French, Papiamentu and Turkish.
You will need three years relevant experience in a helping or managerial profession (for example coaching, counselling, consulting, training, mentoring, psychotherapy) and a basic knowledge of Transactional Analysis (TA). For those without any prior knowledge of TA, on which the Functional Fluency model is based, a short separate course can be provided for an additional charge. For more information please visit the Training Program on this website.
Completion of a TIFF© questionnaire takes around 20 – 30 minutes. Learning about the Functional Fluency model and individual feedback on the TIFF© Profiles incl. planning for personal development with a TIFF© Provider takes 1.5 – 2 hours per person. To find out more about TIFF© coaching for leaders and teams, please visit the Organisations page on this website.
Yes, since your TIFF© Profile is only a snapshot of your behaviour at a particular point in time, your profile will change over time, depending on your current circumstances, stress levels and the behavioural choices you are making at that time. It can be useful, for example, to compare your profile from the beginning of a coaching process to the one you get at the end of your coaching process. This can help you reflect on the behavioural changes you have made and the effect these changes have had on you and those you interact with.
No. However you must be guided through the full TIFF© process with a certified TIFF© Provider. To find out more about how Functional Fluency and TIFF© can help the continuing professional development of your organisation’s leaders and teams, please visit the Organisations page on this website.
