Today’s guest not only survived “The Miracle on the Hudson” plane crash but was the last person off the back of the plane that day because he was making sure others made it out safely. After surviving the US Airways Flight 1549 crash in 2009, he began to realize that the moments that made up his life prepared him for what was about to happen.

According to him, all of the lessons and strategies he learned in his life were instrumental during the incident and in the days following. He started to realize that one can actually grow from traumatic life experiences and that realization set him on a path to not only share what he learned but also provide practical and implementable strategies to help others survive and thrive after their own “personal plane crash” moments in life.

He is a speaker and trainer, author of “Moments Matter: How One Defining Moment Can Create a Lifetime of Purpose,” and hosts his own show, Voice of Personal Leadership.

Please join me in welcoming Dave Sanderson.

Relationship-Based Business Strategist

Are you ready to create a Relationship-Based Business Plan that will help you achieve greater impact (and income)?

  • You want to have a greater impact and increased income. The problem is that there are so many options for how to build your business that you can feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like you're running out of time.
  • The reason options are overwhelming is that you're looking at them as a series of disconnected steps when — to make the most of your time — you need a strategy that connects only the most important and highest impact ones.
  • Why? Because you know it's true that if you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing. This means, to achieve your goal, you have to invest in a strategy to put time on your side.
  • How? This program will help you find the clarity to determine what is the right next step for your business. A book? A podcast? An online course? Masterminds? Speaking on bigger stages?
  • Together we will design a 12-month Relationship-Based Business Plan that will allow you to stack your successes to create momentum and leverage your limited time.
  • Read about this program and then schedule a complimentary 60-minute session to see if it's a good fit. www.robbiesamuels.com/more
