Catrin Pugh is an inspirational speaker and one of the only adults in the world to survive burns to 96% of her body following a catastrophic coach accident at 19.

Her talks are engaging, uplifting, and shaped in the room — helping audiences reflect, shift perspective, and walk away with a renewed sense of what they’re capable of, both personally and professionally.
