ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sam is a thought leader on peak performance and turnarounds, and a highly acclaimed professional speaking coach. He is the founder and CEO of Speakers Institute, an organisation dedicated to creating influencers with a powerful voice in the marketplace. Today, Speakers Institute is a global company that boasts a team of more than 60 people and oversees more than 400 volunteers each year.
Early in his career Sam had carved out a niche as a youth futurist working for the Australian government. In October 2006, Sam's life changed forever when he was involved in a major car accident. Initially pronounced dead, he was eventually resuscitated, but his right arm had to be amputated and he was left with a permanent disability in his right leg.
During his recovery Sam chose not to return to his old job. Instead, he learned how to share his own story of ‘bouncing forward’ from his near-fatal injuries.
Sam has written seven previous books. Bounce Forward (2013) became an international bestseller. He has trained more than 5000 speakers around the world and has spoken in over 40 countries on some of the world's biggest stages.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to acknowledge my writer, Bernadette Foley, who has been brilliant in extracting all of my wild, crazy ideas and distilling these into easily catchable messages.
I would also like to acknowledge my wife Kate, my three children and my Global Team who have been there every step of the way, helping our clients make a difference.
