Cari Kenzie is trailblazer in the fields of leadership, resilience and personal transformation. As a dynamic speaker, coach and entrepreneur, Cari has dedicated her life to empowering others to rise above their circumstances and lead with purpose. In 2013, Cari’s life took an unexpected turn when she survived the Boston Marathon bombing. This harrowing experience became a pivotal moment, reshaping her understanding of resilience, leadership and the power of choice. Rather than being defined by the trauma, Cari chose to transform it into a source of strength and inspiration. Her story is not just about surviving adversity – it’s about using that adversity as a catalyst for profound personal and professional growth. Before becoming the renowned speaker and coach she is today, Cari was at the helm of a multi-million-dollar marketing agency. Her leadership guided the company to great success, culminating in a strategic acquisition that allowed her to transition into a new chapter – one that would focus on helping others navigate their own paths to success. This transition was not just a career shift but a calling, leading Cari to co-found iShift, a movement designed to challenge the status quo and awaken the leader within every individual.
