As a survivor of the 9/11 tragedy as well as a person who happens to be blind, Michael Hingson captivates and enthralls audiences with his unique perspective on life and relationships. He guides us to explore how we may sabotage our own efforts, and how fear, courage, denial, trust, beliefs and philosophies have a tremendous impact on our personal lives, on our organizations and our world.

Mike weaves the life lessons he has learned in an enthralling story of survival and perseverance that can help us all see that we can be much more than we are. Not only will he discuss his escape from the World Trade Center on 9/11, 2001, but he will also describe his life journey, partnering with eight guide dogs, and how he came to be in the Twin Towers on that fateful day. You will learn how to keep fear in check and survive even under the most adverse circumstances possible.
