BOUNCE!

BOUNCE is offered as a keynote and also a follow-up workshop. BOUNCE focuses on fixing the limits that we currently have. It provides bullet proof strategies to unleash those who are stuck and will awaken those who feel they are not adequate enough to push the limits to maximise their potential and productivity.

Sam speaks about his personal triumphs and takes attendees on a journey of discovery through their own lives. He speaks about a principle of not just bouncing back from crises, but Bouncing Forward through innovation, creativity and thought leadership. There are many inspiring stories, thought provoking ideas and challenges that keep listeners on the edge of their seats. His interactive and highly energetic conversations is capped off with a huge surprise of music and watching one of the only people in the world play the guitar with one hand.

In the BOUNCE Workshops, Sam unpacks:

• The BluePrint to the 5 Bounce Principles to bounce higher, greater and better than ever before
• The three major pillars to strengthen your team and break any limits are stopping maximum potential
• The four unknown characteristics to building an unstoppable resilient team and creating innovative ideas to move forward
• The importance of Positive Psychology and the impact it can have in productivity and optimum performance

Optimistic sales people outsell their peers by 37%.

Coal miners that are told that they are more appreciated by their bosses, increase their productivity by 30%.
Students primed to be positive, score better on maths tests.

InsuranceLine Conference Feedback

"Thanks for an emotional but uplifting presentation at our InsuranceLine Synergy conference yesterday.  You obviously have many talents and are a great inspiration to very many people.  I can't help but agree that people need to bounce forwards after a crisis, not backwards.  It would be great for you to come in regularly and help us look to the present and future, not over our shoulders dwelling on what caused the problem or what might have been. "

"WOW and WOW. Saw your presentation at the Insurance Line Synergy and you were amazing. At first I thought it was another boring motivation peep talk but you got everyone's heart bleeding from your story. So your story today touch me on a personal level and I felt your pain as you told us about it. You are truly amazing and God has giving you a second chance for this reason. I wish you all the best and have one request....
Please keep spreading your message and come back again."

"I saw you at my work conference this past weekend, and I just wanted to drop you a note to say THANK YOU. You probably get loads of such emails, but that's becuase you are such a great and engaging speaker. Thanks for sharing your personal story with me (and the other few hundred people in the room) P.S. - go the guitar! You can always fall back on a pop career if this speaking thing gets tiresome."

“Sam’s inspirational story and his passion for living touched many of our delegates deeply. Sam had our attendees laughing and in tears – he was both inspirational and motivating . I am sure our delegates who in their work and personal lives face crises will be inspired to bounce forward to new highs. Thank you Sam”

"Sam Cawthorn provided our senior leaders with a presentation that was both inspiring and entertaining in equal measure.  Everyone in the room was transfixed by Sam's message of optimism and his ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable personal tragedy.  In both business and in life, I think we learn more from the challenges we overcome than from the successes and Sam was able to demonstrate this in a very real way"

"I loved your analogy of bouncing forward opposed to bouncing back which is something I have not heard before, despite attending many self development programs.  It is so easy to get caught up in daily life and the fast pace we operate at, it was a great reminder that it’s important to keep perspective on everything in life including dealing with any adversity we encounter"

Sam's humour and light-hearted approach to an amazing horrendous ordeal was a good wake-up for me. It had me appreciate and give up complaining about the simple problems I have.

Entertaining, engaging, inspiring and very, very funny - Sam Cawthorn is an amazing individual and any organisation would be mad not to book him as a guest speaker and motivator. I could not recommend him more highly.

Sam Cawthorn is an absolute inspiration. Faced with adversity, he thought of his young family, got up & approached life with a passion & enthusiasm sadly lacking in most. His presentation will challenge you to think of what is most important in your life & strive to achieve your goal.

Sam is an unusual person who can inspire an audience from any background or business area. His message is simple, yet relevant to everyone who hears him. We will never forget him and his positive and humanitarian personality
- BKR International

Sam’s session on the last day of our conference was ‘magical’. He fully engaged the crowd with his story, his messages, his wit, heart and his passion. I had a number of attendees that had listened to Sam who that afternoon made some very big changes to their lives. I had another attendee that had his notes from the session still in his pocket that night to remind him of what Sam had said (and he did change for dinner). His impact was widespread and deep. His messages around ‘Bouncing Forward’, ‘the decision not the condition….’, ‘holding hands in traffic’ will be remembered. Sam was truly inspirational and is one of those people that you know is very special and very unique. Thank you for the magic Sam!”
