Dave Sanderson was the last passenger to leave the plane which landed
on the Hudson River in January 2009, the story being featured in the
upcoming film, Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks.
Since that incident, Dave has built a career as a motivational speaker,
mentor and author. In his presentations, he shares
The 12 Pillars of Resourcefulness, 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. In his new book,
Moments Matter, Dave 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 thrive.Contact InfoFacebook: davesandersonspeaksLinkedIn:  david sandersonTwitter: @davesanderson2Website: davesandersonspeaks.com

know, when I go into a mindful, centered state, I'm in a peaceful
situation and I'm less stressed, I focus, I have less anxiety. I focus
on other people and I think that's the big thing, I get out of myself.
When I'm in a mindful state I'm more resourceful and focus on other
people. I think that's where I serve at the highest level.Thoughts on BreathingWell,
I don't breathe as often in the ways I used to breathe and I need to
get back to that. Breathing to me, I would get down on the ground and do
shallow breaths and deep breaths and all of a sudden oxygen gets into
your body and all of a sudden your mind expands so I need to do more of
that. I was doing that for quite a while and I think that's a great way
to get centered. Before I go on stage, I do take that deep final breath.Suggested ResourcesBooks: Moments Matter by Dave Sanderson

I
would say that for someone who is looking to get more mindful and more
centered in their life, focus on something else other than yourself.
Focus on your family, focus on the bigger picture because one thing you
realize when you go through a plane crash is, and I said this in an
interview when I did a movie premiere, that no one really cared if
anyone was white, black, Hispanic, gay, lesbian, transsexual. No one
judged anybody else so I would say at that point everybody got centered
into themselves to be able to get that outcome, so I would say I
recommend to somebody, be less judgemental, focus on the bigger picture,
focus on something outside yourself where you can serve and add value
instead of focusing on what's in it for me.BonusThanks for listening, Mindful Tribe. Download Bruce Langford's 5 Free Guided Medications called Fine Tune Your Focus here: www.mindfulnessmode.com/focus
