Dave Sanderson is a leadership speaker, resilience expert, bestselling author, and founder of Resilience Partners Group. He is best known as the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549, the "Miracle on the Hudson," and has spent years helping leaders and organizations navigate crises, uncertainty, and high-pressure decision-making.
In today's episode, Dave joins me to share the incredible story of surviving the Miracle on the Hudson. He takes us inside the final 208 seconds before the plane landed in the Hudson River, the decisions that saved lives, and why he chose to help others instead of escaping first.
We dive into the mindset required to stay calm during life's biggest challenges and discuss how adversity can become a catalyst for purpose, growth, and lasting transformation.
Dave also shares how surviving the crash completely changed the way he viewed success, leadership, and his career. He explains why he walked away from a successful corporate job, how to recognize your own "I'm done" moment, and the four freedoms everyone should pursue to build a more meaningful life.
Join us today as we dive into building resilience, making better decisions under pressure, overcoming fear and uncertainty, finding your purpose after setbacks, taking the next best step when life feels overwhelming, discovering your unique advantage, and much more.
