What’s Your Pink Cadillac? The Unconventional Road to Becoming Turbulence Tough

Ryan Campbell, Youngest Solo Pilot to Circumnavigate the Globe, One of Australia’s 50 Great Explorers, Plane Crash Survivor, Incomplete Paraplegic, and Best-Selling Author

Few people have encountered the extreme, polar opposites of success and tragedy that Ryan Campbell has, let alone by the age of 26. As the youngest person to fly solo around the world, Campbell’s life changed in an instant following a serious light plane crash. He survived against all odds and was admitted to a spinal rehabilitation ward as a complete paraplegic with no movement from his waist down. Campbell proved his mental fortitude as a record-breaking pilot, but demonstrated his mastery by learning to walk again and fighting his way back into the sky. This gamut of human experience led Campbell to share his own secrets on how to live life #TurbulenceTough, helping leaders create resilient, unstoppable teams.
