Life is made up of key moments and for quadruple amputee Cor Hutton, these moments have been significant. In June 2013, Cor nearly lost her life after suffering acute pneumonia and sepsis. Surgeons were forced to amputate both her hands and her legs below the knee. But she didn't let this setback stop her, and the impact that Cor has had since this trauma is truly remarkable.

Cor Hutton is the founder of Finding Your Feet a charity that supports families affected by amputation or limb difference. Post amputation, Corr, has broken four world records, has won countless awards and achievements and amazingly has recently had a double hand transplant. In this conversation, Cor shares her lessons and insights into a life that really defines outpacing change and leading from example with courage and compassion.

“The difference it makes to me to help other people. It might sound selfless, but it's actually almost selfish, it's me taking my mind off myself. I think that's a huge way of staying grounded and real. I think we could all do that more often, listening to other people, putting yourself in other people's positions, trying to imagine what life might be like in someone else's position. And maybe don't take life too seriously.” Cor Hutton.

This episode is part of Ashurst’s special Outpacing Change mini-series that includes a collection of conversations with innovators and disruptors who have challenged the status-quo and are changing the world around them.
