About

Dave Sanderson is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, accomplished author, and inspirational survivor of what is known as "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549 which had to ditch into the river, he took the lessons he learned from that profound experience in the frigid water and emerged from the wreckage with a mission to encourage others to do the right thing and share coping skills to address any adversity they may face.

Dave is now convinced that everyone has their own defining moment, whether it be personal or professional, but that most people don’t know how to take that first step to find opportunities out of their own uncertainty. He now travels the globe on a personal mission to share his life lessons, show the importance of not only setting goals but also achieving them, and share his passion for helping others who are longing for connection and community. So many people don't have a mentor or their own "board of directors," so Dave now works with people of all ages to help them decide what their personal "life" brand will look like going forward.

Named one of Inc.com's Top 100 Leadership speakers, Dave travels the world to share his inspirational leadership lessons and has raised over $14.8M USD for the American Red Cross over the last ten years through his talks.

He lives in Charlotte, NC with Terri, his wife of 37 years and has four children who were very happy their father came home that day.

Testimonials

“When Dave Sanderson finished speaking at the LIDMA Annual Conference it was clear that his message was powerful and resonated with everyone in the audience the standing ovation he received. Not only does Dave have an incredible story based upon his experiences, but he is inspiring, motivational, engaging and has great sense of humor!

Dave's stage presence and presentation style are outstanding for a closing keynote session. I say closing as opening with Dave would simply be a tough act to follow for anyone! Dave is also genuinely a great guy, opening himself to questions and taking the time to interact with event attendees throughout his time there.”

“My mentor, Jim Rohn, got me to realize that the secret to life was to work harder on myself than my job or anything else because then I'd have something to give people. Having mentor is essential, as is getting the right one; they will inspire you to achieve more than you ever believed you could. Dave Sanderson found that mentor that helped him excel, and I was honored to help him take those lessons he learned and teach him distinctions that he used to become a true servant leader.”

TONY ROBBINS, Entrepreneur, #1 NY Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and the nation's #1 life and business strategist.

“Life has a way of keeping us humble. But it’s up to us to seek and take advantage of the opportunities we’re given and the advice imparted on us. Moments DO matter and this book will remind you to always look for opportunities, capitalize on them, and get ahead. Dave is a master at capturing the moments that radically alter the course of your life. Grab a copy and get ready to act! Opportunity doesn’t knock twice.”

“In organizing our LEADERCON Program, we researched many great authors, speakers, etc. During this process, we were impressed by the number of peer referrals you received, and believe that you definitely delivered, meeting and exceeding all expectations. I also ran across a great quote by John Quincy Adams, that to me pretty well meshes your vision with our conference mission, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
