Keynote: Leadership in Times of Crisis

While we all aspire to live bravely in the face of life’s significant challenges, few of us are tested to live bravely before the guns of hostile Somali pirates who threaten our leadership and authority, our lives, and the lives of our colleagues. Before Somali pirates hijacked his cargo ship and held him captive for five days, making him the center of a riveting international drama which played out live on television, Captain Richard Phillips was as normal as each of us doing our best at work and home. Captain Phillips will share how planning and practice in our life and business prepares us to respond quickly and effectively when a crisis strikes.
