Dave Sanderson
Biography

Global leaders are now facing more adversity than ever. Sometimes it just takes hearing from someone who didn't have a choice when facing a harrowing situation. Dave Sanderson is a nationally recognized leadership speaker and inspirational survivor of what is known as "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off Flight 1549 which ditched into the river, he is taking the lessons he learned from that profound experience and is now on a mission to encourage others to do the right thing and share coping skills to address any adversity they may face.

Dave is convinced that everyone has their own defining moment, whether it be
 
personal or professional but knows that most people don't know how to take that first step to find the opportunities out of their own uncertainty, the subject of his fourth book, The Limitless Life.

Named one of Inc.com's Top 100 speakers, Dave has traveled the world to share his inspiration, while raising over
$14.8 million dollars for the American Red Cross. Since so many people don't have their own personal "board of directors," he offers quarterly editions of his digital Moments Matter Magazine which highlights the successes and advice of leaders and entrepreneurs at no cost.
