In January, 2009, Flight 1549 crash-landed on the Hudson River in New York — Ric Elias was in the front row. This is a compelling 5-min TED Talk about what went through his head once he realized the plane was going to crash. It will be no surprise that these moments were about what really matters — and it turns out that what really matters are the important relationships in our lives. Yet most of us, most days, focus elsewhere… we put our energy into the “small stuff” and so often let these important relationships sit on the back burner. Ric says he’s made some significant changes in his life after this realization.
Do we need to wait to be on a crashing plane to make this shift?
