Dave Sanderson is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, accomplished author, and inspirational survivor of what is known as "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549, which had to ditch into the river, he took the lessons he learned from that profound experience in the frigid water and emerged from the wreckage with a mission to encourage others to do the right thing and share coping skills to address any adversity they may face. Dave is now convinced that everyone has their own defining moment, whether it be personal or professional, but that most people don’t know how to take that first step to find opportunities out of their own uncertainty. He now travels the globe on a personal mission to share his life lessons, show the importance of not only setting goals but also achieving them, and share his passion for helping others who are longing for connection and community. So many people don't have a mentor or their own "board of directors," so Dave now works with people of all ages to help them decide what their personal "life" brand will look like going forward. Named one of Inc.com's Top 100 Leadership speakers, Dave travels the world to share his inspirational leadership lessons and has raised over $14.8M USD for the American Red Cross over the last ten years through his talks. He lives in Charlotte, NC with Terri, his wife of 37 years, and has four children who were very happy their father came home that day.
