Bounce Forward: How to Transform Crisis into Success

by Sam Cawthorn

An inspiring business book that shows leaders and businesspeople how to turn adversity into innovation, productivity, and profitability When he was just twenty-six years old, Sam Cawthorn's life changed forever. A terrible car accident cost him his arm, left him in a coma, and put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life―or so he thought. Today, Sam is one of the most successful motivational and inspirational speakers around, addressing some 100,000 people around the world each year, from some of the world’s biggest companies. 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 than before. 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. Sam speaks to bankers, salespeople, leaders, corporate executives, government workers, students, and anyone else who faces challenges and setbacks every day. In Bounce Forward , Sam shares the tools, strategies, and psychology that anyone can use to overcome any obstacle. If Sam can bounce forward from the accident that nearly took his life, there's almost nothing that you can't overcome. No matter what kind of challenge you face―in the office, at home, or even in your own heart― Bounce Forward gives you the insight you need to climb higher than ever before, in business or in life.

Sam Cowthorn is a living miracle. The way that he has spun a near death experience around has GOD written all over it. The idea of “Bounce Forward” is simple and honest because every crisis is enveloped by opportunity for change. Cowthorn characterizes the “Bounce Cycle” as “crisis any event that creeps up on you or arrives in an instant. Downturn you have to be real about the situation and make the tough choice to do something different. Bounce is the turning point but is also the lowest point because it is at the lowest point in the cycle. Opportunities take advantage of the small ones and the big ones. Bounce forward find your compelling purpose in life and strive for it.”

This book is fascinating. The questions it asks will inspire and motivate you to transform negatives into positives…always looking for the silver lining of every situation. Bounce Forward is a wonderful gift for anyone that has recently experienced a tragedy.
