OUT of the ASHES of 9-11: LESSONS from a GUIDE DOG & HIS MASTER (on building trust)

Michael Hingson & his guide dog
They were on the 78th floor of one of the towers on 9-11 and Roselle led Michael out of the building just before it went down. Using the compelling account of his harrowing journey to safety on 9-11, Michael challenges his audiences to access and strengthen their skills: trust, teamwork, risk-taking and creativity, to ease their way through changes in their work and personal lives.
