Thomas Von Essen
The man at the epicenter of events on Sept. 11th provides a moving presentation of examples of human beings at their best.
The Human Spirit Undeterred: Never underestimate the power of the human spirit. When faced with a tough challenge, people are stronger and more resilient than they give themselves credit for. Tom Von Essen knows about inner-strength first hand. As a 31-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, Von Essen had seen his people rise to the occasion throughout his career. But when tragedy struck the World Trade Center, it was a challenge unlike any before. His moving presentation focuses on his firsthand experience as an eyewitness to the power of resilience, strength and bravery during crises.
Teamwork and Heroism: Commissioner Von Essen and New York’s Bravest were at Ground Zero within minutes, facing unimaginable obstacles yet orchestrating the most successful emergency rescue in U.S. history. Their courage, commitment, teamwork and heroism reaffirmed the ability of committed people to accomplish extraordinary things. Audiences are able to hear life-affirming stories of leadership in action from someone at the epicenter on that fateful day.
