We live in times of global recession and slow recovery, where millions of people are facing redundancy, failed businesses, or the effects of cutbacks and budget reductions. Bouncing Back is for anyone who has suffered a setback in their career, who wants to make sense of the new world, and who wants to recover and move on quickly.

In Praise of Bouncing Back
We are in times of change: the economy, global climate, social media... it s always the ones who are the most adaptable to change who will survive. In his latest book, Richard gives you a choice between staying stuck or bouncing back - and of course you want to bounce back. The book is full of tips and advice to help you to do so.
Richard gives you real insight into how he s transformed his life, and it is refreshing to read such honesty about his first-hand experience.
I am a huge fan of Richard s books and with this one I definitely feel he s captured the shift that is happening in the world right now, which has left many unsettled and for some has been like a turbulence. But change is good and Bouncing Back definitely gives you the tools to adapt.
Julie Bishop, Founder, www.jobhop.co.uk
Once again, Richard tackles a difficult change process with pragmatism, empathy and humour. When you wake up the morning after your sudden career change, it s all too easy to think, how did that happen, why me, and then - what now? Yesterday you had purpose, identity, structure, recognition... but what do you have today? Well, for a start, you have the rest of your life in front of you and time to think - and thinking time is working.
Once you reflect on what you have achieved you realise the grass really is green, the sky blue and the poppies red. Before that, you d been so tied up in the job that it was difficult to actually see. Using practical examples and a clear structured approach, Bouncing Back really will help you bounce back - and bounce much higher than you did before.
David Clover, Chief Executive, Quadra-Foil Limited
Bouncing Back is a pragmatic, mildly irreverent and hugely enjoyable guide to surviving the inevitable knock-backs in our modern career. I ve found it a fantastic insight and guide to the roller-coaster of emotions that I experienced when my role was made redundant. This book helped me to bounce back and realise that despite everything, I am a thoughtful, talented and lovable person that people like to work with.
Justin Paul, Founder and Principal Consultant, Brygstow Consulting
Bouncing Back is a refreshing take for anyone looking to boost or regain their prospects professionally. It supports you in seeking and seizing opportunities and is delivered in a style that is easily accessible. The High-Cs Transition model gives people great insight into the journey that we go through between having a setback and bouncing back!
Joe Holmes, Project Manager, Financial Services, iGO4 Limited
Bouncing Back delivers practical and positive advice to get you going in the right direction and I really enjoyed the affirmative tone of the book. As a full read from front cover to back, or as a reference to dip into when needed, this book is everything you will need in your modern career to survive and prosper. The Tool Kit in Chapter 15 is a real gem; read it and keep it in your back pocket - this book will help you to succeed.
Kevin Bennett, Manager, Centre for Workforce Excellence, South West Institute of TAFE, Australia
I was thoroughly hooked by Bouncing Back . Having had a career that has bounced a couple of times, it was good to be reminded that our careers are in fact a journey - sometimes we hit a pothole and other times we may need a trampoline to help us back onto our path.
This book is that trampoline - I loved the real, practical advice that it offers and the exercises it asks you to do. Bouncing Back also reminds us that we need to be true to ourselves in order to be a survivor. It is a practical and immensely sensible route map to a sustained thriving career, and is full of top reminders for those of us who could bounce a bit higher!
