Fresh from his appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations Specialized Agency, Captain Sully Sullenberger is once again available for speaking engagements. Offering tangible lessons on how to excel in our personal and professional lives, he leaves audiences better prepared to handle any uncertainty or challenge.

One of the most captivating American heroes of our time, CAPTAIN SULLY SULLENBERGER’s preparation and leadership enabled him to safely guide US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency landing in New York City’s frigid Hudson River—an inspirational and iconic moment in modern history. His incredible personal story is captured in his New York Times #1 bestselling book Highest Duty: My Search For What Really Matters, and Sully - a major motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks as Captain Sullenberger.

Captain Sullenberger most recently served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations Specialized Agency, where he reasserted effective U.S. leadership at ICAO, tackling the aviation crises involving Belarus, Russia, a Middle East airspace dispute and climate change.

In his speeches, Captain Sullenberger shares timeless leadership, management and crisis management principles — including his credo of “leadership by personal example” — and the lessons from his life which prepared him to handle the unprecedented crisis presented by the “Miracle on the Hudson,” and his current role as a global thought leader on important issues.

Captain Sullenberger informs, empowers and moves audiences at every event:
