Closing Keynote: The Courage to Lead Speaker: Dave Carey, U.S. Navy, Retired, Former Director, U.S. Navy Leadership & Management Training School
Dave Carey uniquely inspires you. As a Navy pilot during the Vietnam war, Dave's aircraft was destroyed over North Vietnam by a surface-to-air missile. He spent five and one half years as a P.O.W. in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton." This experience taught him timeless lessons that have application in all of our lives. From this experience, Dave helps people better understand how to
overcome challenges in their own lives; to have the courage to lead. He empowers others to overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties to gain a renewed sense of purpose, perspective, satisfaction and control over their circumstances. Just when you thought it was too much, Dave will inspire you to turn the challenge on its head. Hear how Dave taught fellow prisoners to speak French to evade control of the guards.
