BOUNCE FORWARD: How To Transform Crisis Into Success

At just twenty-six years old, Sam Cawthorn's life changed forever when he was involved in a horrific 206km head-on collision with a semi-trailer in Tasmania.

Pronounced dead on the scene by the paramedics, Sam defied the odds and survived. He spent a week in a coma, five months in hospital and a year in a wheelchair.

After being told he’d never walk again, Sam found his greatest opportunity in the midst of his greatest crisis and bounced forward into a new, more successful life.

Today, Sam is a recognised thought-leader in not only bouncing back but bouncing forward. Obsessed with corporate and personal turnaround, each year Sam speaks to approximately 100,000 people around the world and in 2009 he was awarded the Young Australian of the Year for Tasmania.

Sam’s recovery was more than just a bounce back to where he had been before the accident. Instead, he used his accident as a launching pad to bounce forward to reach even greater heights. Now, Sam uses his own story to share the secrets of both personal and corporate turnarounds, how to use adversity as a springboard to greater heights not just for individuals, but also for companies and teams.

Grounded in research and interviews with organisations, business leaders, teams and individuals, Bounce Forward will show you how adversarial growth can ignite innovation, productivity and profitability. Sam also provides tools and strategies that anyone can use to overcome any obstacle, including a 12-Day Crisis Turnaround Challenge which is a powerful tool that is designed to breakthrough any crisis in just 12 days and help you come out greater, better and brighter and bounce forward to help you take stock and to put yourself in the best position to bounce forward.

“Too often, when crisis knocks on our door – whether professional or personal, either we ignore it, or we use all our energy and resources to try and go back to the way things were. I believe that the reason crisis sometimes destroys people or breaks their spirit is that they were fixated on what they used to be, but sometimes there really is no going back. There is, however, always a way forward,” said author Sam Cawthorn.

Bounce Forward is an inspiring business book that shows leaders and businesspeople how to turn adversity into innovation, productivity, and profitability. If Sam can bounce forward from the accident that nearly took his life, there's almost nothing that you can't overcome too.
