These three words define the journey of Cari Kenzie—a 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.
Before becoming the renowned speaker and coach she is today, Cari Kenzie 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 iShft, a movement designed to challenge the status quo and awaken the leader within every individual.
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.
Cari’s mission is clear: to guide others in making the powerful choice to wake up not to the shadows of the past but to the limitless possibilities of the future. She believes that true leadership begins with curiosity—asking the right questions in the midst of chaos to find clarity and direction. Her approach is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual has the potential to lead with authenticity and strength, and she is committed to helping them unlock that potential.
When you work with Cari, you’re not just hiring a speaker—you’re joining a movement. A movement that challenges conventional leadership paradigms and empowers individuals and organizations to lead with courage, curiosity, and clarity. Together, you’ll navigate the chaos, transform uncertainty into opportunity, and build a future where leadership is defined not by the titles we hold, but by the impact we create.
What makes Cari Kenzie stand out among top speakers is not just her story, but her ability to connect deeply with her audience. Her authenticity, combined with her strategic insights and practical wisdom, makes her a transformative force on stage. Whether she’s leading a keynote, coaching executives, or facilitating workshops, Cari’s impact is felt long after the event ends. She doesn’t just talk about change—she instigates it.
