Jessica is an expert in impossible circumstances. What on the outside appears to be limited options and impossible circumstances can be a chance for opportunity and making meaning with the right mindset. On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012. Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book, “Impossible Odds: The Kidnapping of Jessica Buchanan and Her Dramatic Rescue by SEAL Team Six.” Jessica is now a highly sought-after inspirational speaker, TEDx Speaker, named one of the ‘150 Women Who Will Shake the World’ by Newsweek.
