Melanie's KeyNote

Bouncing Forward – Beyond the emotional status quo  

 

For a long time, Melanie felt out of place at work. She tried to fit in at a great cost to her own well-being and overall happiness. As per her own words: “I had become someone that I vividly disliked”. Her trigger to change came in the shape of a rude awakening — being asked to resign after years of dedication and personal compromises.  

 

Instead of settling for bouncing back to a position of “not being unhappy” after the humiliation and anger had subsided, she chose to bounce forward and go beyond the emotional status quo. Let Melanie inspire you and help you feel empowered to leap into a bouncing forward mindset.
