 Michael Hingson   

Topics: 9-11, Diversity, Motivational, Team Building

In hundreds of TV and radio appearances, feature articles, and speaking engagements, internationally acclaimed inspirational speaker Michael Hingson has done much more than simply tell his own 9-11 story. He has also explored the broader lessons and implications of the tragedy in such heartfelt, thought-provoking presentations as:

Out of the Ashes - Learning to Survive in a Changing World
Using the compelling account of his harrowing journey to safety on 9-11, Michael challenges his audience to access their own skills: trust, teamwork, risk-taking and creativity, to ease their way through changes in their work and personal lives.

Labrador Lessons
Meet “Roselle,” canine hero of 9-11. Her human partner describes what can be learned from this brown-eyed beauty: balancing work and play, the importance of love and trust, how one plus one can equal so much more than two, knowing what's around the corner, how to look out for the other guy, how to get what you want out of life, and how to be a hero EVERY DAY.

Thinking Inside the Box - the Toolbox, That Is
What tools do we already possess, that when used creatively or in tandem with others' strengths, can make us more effective? Drawing on a lifetime of experience developing the skills needed to navigate through a sighted world, Michael shows us that each one of us can turn our strengths and weaknesses into opportunities for creative adaptation and teambuilding partnerships.

Turning the Tables on Terrorism
As a survivor of the 9-11 tragedy as well as a person who lives without sight, Michael Hingson offers a unique perspective on life and relationships. He asks 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.

Trust and Teamwork
Michael Hingson draws on his personal experiences (25 years in sales, 38 years as a Guide Dog user, and his experiences in the crisis of 9-11) to address the issue of teambuilding: how to build a successful team; how to make people value each other and work together; how the resources we use to pull together in times of crisis are available to us in our daily lives.

The Power of the Human/Animal Bond
Millions of Americans enjoy the love and companionship of their pets. Michael Hingson describes the importance of the human/animal bond, its impact on society, and the medical research that supports its benefits. He also talks about how to socialize and be responsible for your dog.

Making Choices
Each of us makes hundreds of choices every day of our lives. How we choose to react to situations can have profound effects on our lives, on society and on the world.

Ethics: The Real Bottom Line
Michael Hingson's life changed dramatically after the tragedy of 9-11. He challenges us to re-examine our priorities and bring truth, transparency and compassion back into the world of business and our personal relationships.

Before becoming the national public affairs director for Guide Dogs for the Blind, Michael had a 26-year career in sales and corporate management.

All proceeds from his presentations go to Guide Dogs for the Blind.
