For high profile TV producer Chris Licht, the worst thing about suffering a brain hemorrhage was not the fact that he could have died • it was that everyone knew what had happened to him. Barely 24 hours after he rushed to the emergency room, his "event" was the first thing discussed on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Was his career over? Would he be viewed as damaged goods? Licht knew he was going to be OK • but did the rest of his peers? In this presentation, speaker Chris Licht focuses on facing his fears and shares what he learned from the mistakes he made when he went back to work.

Finally, speaker Chris Licht shows audiences how his transformation made him a better producer and leader and gave him the confidence to leave NBC after 16 years to launch the critically acclaimed new CBS This Morning.
