054: Dave Sanderson, Miracle on the Hudson Survivor

On January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson was one of the last passengers off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River. Best known as The Miracle on the Hudson, this incident was considered to be the most successful ditching in aviation history. Today, as President of Dave Sanderson Speaks International based out of Charlotte, NC, he has built a career as a motivational speaker, mentor and author. Recently named one of the top 100 Leadership Speakers in 2018 in Inc.com, Dave averages over 100 speeches a year for major corporations across the world. In his presentations, he shares and teaches "The 12 Principals for Business Success," precepts that enabled him to become a top producer in some of the largest sales organizations in the world, and ultimately enabled him to survive the plane crash. In addition to being a top sales producer, he was Director of Security for internationally-renowned speaker, Tony Robbins. Dave has spoken at countless fundraisers that have raised approximately $14M for the American Red Cross. He continues to donate his speaker services to the organization as an expression of gratitude for the care he received from the first person he saw after he was rescued and transferred to land in New Jersey: A Red Cross volunteer with a blanket. His book, "Moments Matter," details the lessons learned from the Miracle on the Hudson and how to take a potentially tragic experience, what he calls 'you own personal plane crash' and turn it into an opportunity to survive and "create your own flight plan."
