Shifting Your Perception on Change

Warren Macdonald has climbed over obstacles most people cannot imagine. Having lost both of his legs in a freak accident while he was backpacking off the coast of Australia, Macdonald not only decided that his injuries wouldn’t slow him down, but that they would propel him to new heights. Just 10 months after the incident, Macdonald climbed Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain and later summited both Mount Kilimanjaro and El Capitan. His inspiring story has empowered audiences around the globe to turn challenge into powerful change.

Macdonald is the author of A Test of Will: One Man’s Extraordinary Story of Survival, which chronicles his two-day ordeal of being trapped under a boulder, his subsequent rescue, the amputation of his legs, and his journey toward recovery. His critically acclaimed film, The Second Step, documents his epic four-week journey to Federation Peak, Australia’s most challenging mountain summit. It screened on National Geographic Television and won eight international awards including Grand Prize at the prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival. Macdonald’s story is also currently being featured on Amazon Prime’s I Shouldn’t Be Alive series.
