The 12 Pillars of Resourcefulness

Denise Griffitts interviews inspirational survivor, speaker, and author Dave Sanderson.

When US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson,” ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be. The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane.

Despite the hazards to himself, Dave thought only of helping others and emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing. Today he will briefly share the story of Flight 1549, revealing the inner strength it took to make it through the day, and how teamwork, leadership, and state management can help overcome any obstacle. Then Dave is going to teach us the 12 resources he used during the plane crash and in his career to not only survive but be a top contributor in his personal philanthropy in addition to the companies he served.

Here are some video links that will help you understand more of his story as well as a wonderful video from his good friend life success coach Tony Robbins. You can see more videos on his speaker page here.
