Dave Sanderson
Since the Miracle on the Hudson, Dave Sanderson has built a career as a motivational speaker, mentor and author. In his presentations, he shares and teaches “The 12 Resources to create your own Personal Flight Plan TM,” precepts that enabled him to become a top producer in some of the largest sales organizations in the world and ultimately enabled him to survive the plane crash.
Sanderson has appeared at countless fundraisers that have raised over $8.56 million
for the American Red Cross. He continues to donate his speaker services to the organization
as an expression of gratitude for the care he received from the first person he saw after he was
rescued and transferred to land in New Jersey: a Red Cross volunteer with a blanket.
In his new book, Moments Matter, Sanderson discusses lessons learned from the Miracle on the Hudson and how to take a potentially tragic experience and turn it into an opportunity to survive and “create your own flight plan.”
