Triumphing Over Tragedy with Resilience and Habits for Business Success with Dave Sanderson

In this episode of Expert In You, Ann Carden interviews Dave Sanderson, Hudson River plane crash survivor and renowned speaker. Dave shares how he transformed his experience into a speaking career that inspires others and supports Navy SEAL charities. He discusses the importance of consistent habits for success, the risks of complacency, and the role of gratitude in personal growth. Ann also highlights his published works and shares how to connect with him for further insights.
Dave Sanderson is a highly regarded leadership speaker, celebrated author, and inspiring survivor of "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549, which made an emergency landing in the Hudson River, Dave emerged from that life-changing moment in icy waters with a mission: to empower others with resilience and courage to face their own challenges.
Through the lessons gained from that profound experience, Dave discovered his purpose in helping people turn adversity into opportunity. He believes that each of us faces defining moments—personally or professionally—that test our resilience. However, many lack the tools or confidence to take the first step toward transformation. Fueled by this insight, Dave now travels globally, guiding individuals toward realizing their own potential, setting and achieving meaningful goals, and fostering a sense of connection and community.
Named by Inc.com as one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers, Dave has inspired audiences around the world with his leadership insights, raising over $14.8 million for the American Red Cross through his speaking engagements. His personal mission extends beyond inspiring audiences; he dedicates himself to being the mentor and "board of directors" many people need to craft a vision for their lives.
Dave lives in Charlotte, NC, with his wife of 37 years, Terri. Together, they share the joy of four children who are grateful he came home safely that fateful day.
