Charlie Plumb
graduated from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. He went on to fly the F-4 Phantom jet on 74 successful
combat missions in Vietnam. On his 75th mission, with only five days
before he was to return home, he was shot down, captured, tortured,
and imprisoned in an 8 x 8 foot cell. He spent the next 2,103 days in
communist prison camps.
During his imprisonment, he
distinguished himself among his fellow prisoners as a professional in
underground communications.
More than 4,000 audiences in every U.S.
industry have been spellbound as Charlie draws parallels between his
POW experience and those challenges of every executive, manager and
associate.
"During my career, I've heard many motivational speakers. None
with as much real life experience that relates to front line
performance." -- Charlie McCarthy,
President, Campbell Soup.
