Elias Kanaris is an author, professional keynote speaker, executive coach, leadership trainer, and entrepreneur.

Elias shares an insider's view about what happened on 9/11 when the plane he was a passenger in was diverted, alongside another 37 planes, to Gander International Airport due to the terrorist acts in the US (New York City, the Pentagon and DC). What the passengers expected was going to be a short layover, turned into five days as they were hosted by the Salvation Army in Newfoundland, Canada.
