Return To The Miracle On The Hudson with Dave Sanderson Awakened Nation

    • Society & Culture

Dave Sanderson was the last man off of US Airways Flight 1549 when it landed in the Hudson River in NYC in 2009. He dove into he icy cold water that day and almost died as his body succumbed to hypothermia...only to be scooped out of the river by 2 of NYC Firefighters.

Now, 15 years later, Dave shares with Awakened Nation his return to swimming the same spot in the Hudson River with a group of Navy Seals, and the memories it stirred up.

Dave explains something that no one could have warned him about and that was Post Traumatic Growth Syndrome... something Dave talks about in his TEDTalk... instead of getting depressed and withdrawn, he had the opposite happened.

This is a powerful episode as Dave returns to Awakened Nation.

About Dave Sanderson:

On January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson was one of the last passengers off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River, best known as The Miracle on the Hudson, and considered to be the most successful ditching in aviation history.

As President of his firm, Dave Sanderson Speaks International LLC, he has built a career as a motivational speaker, mentor, and author.  Recently named by Inc.com as one of the top 100 Leadership Speakers, Dave speaks to audiences around the globe about the harrowing experience that shaped his future.

At a time when people are longing for connection and community, they are also seeking a way to create an extraordinary life truly. So many don’t have a mentor or their own personal “board of directors, so today, Dave works with people of all ages to help them decide what their personal “life” brand will look like going forward.

From his own life-changing experience, Dave is now convinced that everyone has their own defining moment but that most don’t know how to take that first step
to find the opportunities that exist out of their own uncertainty.
