037 – Moments Matter: Beyond the Miracle on the Hudson – Dave Sanderson
Play the episode
Dave Sanderson is a survivor, inspirational speaker, and author. His thoughts on leadership have made him a nationally sought-out speaker. He has worked in the restaurant business, as a top sales performer and provided security for Tony Robbins. Currently, he is an executive coach, consultant, and speaker.
When US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson,” crashed on January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson was the last passenger off the back of the plane that day, risking his own life to help others off the plane. Sanderson emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing. After the incident, the lessons and strategies that he learned throughout his life, were instrumental that day and the days following, he started to realize that one can actually grow from traumatic life experiences, and set out on a path to not only share the lessons from that day, but practical and implementable strategies anyone can use to not only survive their moment but grow and thrive.
