Richard Phillips, Real Life Inspiration for the Movie Captain Phillips, to Speak at 2015 Summit
Learn important lessons on leadership at the 2015 Global TapRooT® Summit from Richard Phillips, real life inspiration for the movie, Captain Phillips, who will be the closing keynote speaker on Day 3. The Summit begins on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 right after our 2-day Pre-Summit courses (June 1 and 2, 2015).
For five days in April 2009, the world was glued to their TV screens as Captain Richard Phillips became the center of an extraordinary international drama when he was captured by Somali pirates who hijacked his ship, the first hijacking of a US ship in more than 200 years.
Though Captain Phillips describes himself as a “regular guy,” the world knows that his actions were anything but ordinary after the pirate attack. His harrowing and heroic efforts to survive an ordeal that riveted the world were only matched in valor by his decisive actions to save his crew and the ship they sailed. President Obama said, “I share the country’s admiration for the bravery of Captain Phillips and his selfless concern for his crew. His courage is a model for all Americans.”
