Work From The Inside Out 37: Moments Matter: Beyond the Miracle on the Hudson with Dave Sanderson
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.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Dave credits a mentor he had early in his career as being a big influence on his choices.
- The role Tony Robbins seminars played when he was building his career in sales.
- How he achieved volunteering for Tony Robbins and eventually became Tony’s Head of Security, traveling with him extensively.
- His decision to keep his “day job” while volunteering with the Tony Robbins organization.
- The plane crash, and how Dave went back to work, and the encouragement from Tony that led to him establishing his own speaking and consulting business.
