In her powerful TEDx Talk, "How Loss Taught Me to BOUNCE FORWARD," Joni Peddie shares her transformative journey through unexpected tragedy. When her husband and business partner died suddenly, leaving behind their young daughters aged 7 and 9, Joni faced the daunting task of rebuilding their lives. Rejecting the well-intentioned but misguided advice to "bounce back," she instead embraced the concept of #BounceForward, both at home and in her professional life as a Keynote Speaker and Team Performance Facilitator. Joni's talk explores how she navigated the harsh reality of a broken family picture, using #BounceForward to guide her children, herself, and her clients in discovering new ways to grow, adapt, and thrive in the face of loss, unexpected change, and also to ‘chase opportunities’. Her inspiring message offers a fresh perspective on resilience, challenging audiences to reframe their approach to life's most difficult challenges and embrace the power of #BounceForward.
