In 1997, Carol Murray stepped out of a plane at altitude — and her parachute failed. She fell 3,200 feet. Against every medical prediction, she survived.
What followed was years of reconstruction — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Over three years, Carol underwent 26 surgeries and the extraordinary process of regrowing 14 centimetres of her femur bone.
Today, Carol speaks to corporations, healthcare systems, and leadership teams about resilience as strategy — not just inspiration. Her proprietary resilience framework is now used by organizations across North America.
"Resilience isn't about bouncing back. It's about rising forward — with strategy, with purpose, and with the scars to prove you were there."
— Carol Murray
Carol's proprietary 5-pillar resilience framework, built from lived experience and refined through thousands of conversations with leaders worldwide.
