Motivational speaker and airline hijacking survivor Jackie Pflug has turned her horrifying near-death experience into an inspirational message of faith, determination, and rising above adversity. She recently shared her emotional story with attendees at the 19th Annual Clinical Symposium on Advances in Skin and Wound Care, September 30 to October 3, 2004, in Phoenix, AZ.
Anyone can be "hijacked" by fear, sadness, or grief, she said. But Pflug believes that one can rise above life's challenges by applying lessons learned along the way. In her lecture, "The Courage to Succeed," Pflug recounted her ordeal of being shot in the head by terrorists and left for dead. She also chronicles the experience in her book, Miles to Go Before I Sleep.
