Safety: Don’t Count on 2nd Chances
Can too much experience be a bad thing? Absolutely…if it leads to complacency. The highly experienced pilots of Flight 965 were lulled into a false sense of security that led to the deaths of 160 people. Mercedes’ one-of-a-kind safety presentation uses the factual account of the crash of Flight 965 as an anchor to drive home the dangers of complacency and the importance of situational awareness.

Mercedes was spectacular. One of the best commencement addresses I’ve heard in 30 years. I wish I’d kept track of all the glowing comments made about her speech.

I wanted to email you after the conference to tell you how much I gained from your presentation. I really connected to the idea that we need to be passionate about our goals, persist until we achieve them and remain positive in the process. I’ve totally changed my vision of my future and see so much more ahead of me.
