CONVENING LEADERS PREVIEW

‘AN INCREDIBLE HONOR’:Among the many people Ben Sherwood interviewed for The Survivors Club, he “vividly recalls meeting a police officer who was shot ... during a street chase and left paralyzed by the bullet. I went to interview her and I met her young child, and I remember driving back as fast as I could to be home with my wife and son. That was the feeling I had again and again, to be much more connected to what is important in life.”

BenSherwood Talking to people who survived horrific accidents, disabling diseases,

and violent crimes gave him not only inspiration but lessons in preparedness —which he’ll share with Convening Leaders attendees in January.
