Bouncing out of Jail
November 1st, 2010Imagine the hardest criminals in the country in a maximum security Jail, with corruption and violent breakouts regularly. But for the last 3 years this same Jail has had no violent breakouts and rehabilitation is close to 100% effective.
So what was the catalyst for this and what drove this Jail in CEBU in the Philippines to BOUNCE Forward???
Over 1300 Jail systems across the Philippines are now looking at Byron’s model and adopting the innovative approach to rehabilitation

Create2Change
October 17th, 2010Just a few months ago I was asked to be a part of a Human Rights Advocacy Movement for people living with a disability in developing worlds.
A little reluctant at first to join yet another campaign, I said yes and the journey over the past few months have been life changing. We went to rural India on a discovery mission together with a film crew to find stories of individuals living with a disability in some of the most poverty stricken remote places on earth.
Today, I am very pleased and honoured to be the Ambassador for the CBM movement ‘Create2Change’ and now am very passionately involved and a strong advocate to end the cycle between poverty and disability.

BOUNCE Forward Thought Leadership
September 22nd, 2010Resilience 2.0
There are many resilience programs and strategies to help individuals and teams build resilience in times of crisis.
Yet some crises are inevitable and suddenly we find ourselves in the mists of a major crisis and the skills that we learned to be resilient no longer helps. We need a different strategy to get us out of this crisis.
This is where it is important to know how to BOUNCE. Bounce teachers us resilience BUT it ALSO teachers us to understand the theory behind a turnaround and a bounce back, or what I like to call, ‘a bounce forward’.
Resilience is important, but learning how to bounce is imperative in today’s challenges. Understanding how to BOUNCE Forward is a must for any person or team to ensure a sustainable and resilient future. Watch video below:
Your challenge
What are some key moments in your life where resilience was just not enough?
If you looked back at these moments, what would you do differently to prepare yourself to overcome and bounce forward from these major crises?
Bounce Forward Thought Leadership
August 20th, 2010Isn’t it frustrating sometimes that when something goes wrong, it can seem impossible to get out!
Or
When we hit a crisis point, bouncing back can not be the best option as you go back to the place that got you to the crisis in the first place….
The answer is to BOUNCE Forward…

Excerpt – My NEW book ‘The BOUNCE Theory’
August 8th, 2010It was a cold afternoon and you could smell the spring in the air. Winter had passed yet sitting there alone in the car with the entire right side of the car ripped off and my bones and flesh exposed to the afternoon sun, I felt cold. I was shivering and sweating at the same time. I was feeling pulses of shivers all over my body that I could not control. Was I going to die? I kept asking myself, was this it? Was this the last ever moment of my life right here? I thought about my two little girls, I thought about how they could comprehend or understand the magnitude of what happened to their Daddy. I thought about my wife, not knowing if I would ever see her again. Flashes of images rushed through my mind, a single mother, the fatherless children, a funeral… I was so sad, not just from the pain but my mind was going at warp speed. I was thinking about everything, what life meant, my friends, my family and my whole life up until now. What could I have done differently? What could I have done better? Why didn’t I try more, why couldn’t I have not taken life for granted to much? Was this really happening was this the end? Are these really the last breaths I would ever take???
No Sam, stop thinking these thoughts, fight, FIGHT, there is still hope…
The pain was taking away every freedom I had within my body. Even the very breath from my lungs was fighting for every ounce of air it could get. My eyelids felt like a ton of bricks, I just wanted to close them and go to sleep… “SAM, SAM STAY AWAKE FOR US” my rescuers yelled, “SAM YOU CAN DO IT, HOLD ON””.
I felt an overcoming fear and darkness, which was suffocating everything that life represented. I was yelling to God to save me, I was telling my rescuers my wife’s number so they could call her and I could say goodbye. The meaning of life and death was suddenly real, so real. Life was becoming no more, “WHAT IS HAPPENING” I yelled as tears ran down my face, “RING MY WIFE, TELL HER I LOVE HER”!
My car had been torn and ripped to shreds on the main highway between Devonport and Launceston Tasmania. Being a large highway, people started to crowd around, as the silhouette of people started to yell and whisper, and that was when I knew that it was serious….

The BOUNCE Cycle
July 25th, 2010We have our ups, we have our downs; we have our great moments and we have our crap moments. In business it’s the same, we have our crisis, we have the turning point and then we bounce back. A personal crisis or a corporate crisis, there is cycle that we all MUST go through in order to BOUNCE…
Crisis Every organisation has a crisis or a problem within. Be real about the problem, do not ignore it but tackle it full on. Uncover all of its aspect and begin to fix it. Downturn This is the point of make or break. Decisive decisions need to be made in order to bounce. You will have no bounce if tough decisions are not made. This is crucial time. Bounce You have made it to the point in the cycle where things will begin to turn around. This can also be the most trying time because it is the lowest point of the cycle. Stick & you will not regret it Opportunities You have got through the most difficult time, things are looking up and more and more opportunities are coming your way. Continue to create and innovate and discover the opportunities that are everywhere. Bounce Forward You cannot have the same thinking that got you in the crisis in the first place. It’s not about bouncing back from the crisis, but it’s about being the thought leader and enjoying the rewards of coming through the Bounce CycleLaunch of my new USB ‘Bounce Box’
