Benjamin Franklin Would Have Been a Great Blogger  
Pursuit of Happiness, Free Speech, Free Press

Jane Hampton Cook Blogger/Writer Talk ExcerptBenjamin Franklin would have been a great blogger. He would have loved its expediency, an instant outlet for his satirical wit but also a place to work out his amazing analytical thoughts. Franklin himself epitomizes the American Dream, and blogging is the pursuit of happiness at its peak, the ability to freely speak and publish. This talk takes an out-of-time look at Franklin along with the freedoms of speech and press as they relate to our nation's founding.

What it Means to be B-R-A-V-E
Keynote speech, Courage, Faith, Leadership

Jane Hampton Cook Speech Excerpt Movie Clip"Be strong and courageous." Everyone needs courage now and then. Jane Hampton Cook—former White House webmaster for President George W. Bush—gives audiences a fascinating, anecdote-filled presentation on courage and the founding of the nation. Based on her captivating book, Stories of Faith in Courage from the Revolutionary War, Cook spells out what it means to B-R-A-V-E using extraordinary examples from the lives of George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, and many others. Inspired by these patriots who lived loudly for liberty, this timely message shows the relevancy and need for courage today, whether in the business world, government sector, the home office, or just everyday life. Drawing upon the promise of Joshua 1:9, Cook reminds audiences that God's promise is not the outcome of your bravery, but his commitment to be with you through it. Cook also pays tribute to the service men and service women who continue the spirit of the American Revolution by living loudly for liberty today.

What it Means to be a First Lady
Womanhood, Influence, Faith

Jane Hampton Cook Movie Clip, First Lady Excerpt
Never before has the influence of first ladies been greater. A former first lady has run for president and the current first lady has one of the highest approval ratings ever. Drawing on her book The Faith of America’s First Ladies and her White House insider experience as a webmaster to President George W. Bush, Jane Hampton Cook presents spellbinding stories of these amazing women of influence. From their behind-the-scenes courage to their commitment to public service, these women reveal qualities of character and tests of the human spirit that continue to inspire Americans today. Cook uncovers pearls of wisdom using Proverbs 31 and the topics of developing a strong work ethic, the power of leading by example, the value of building strong families, and the importance of faith, and the influence of internal beauty. Through it all she reveals that every woman is a first lady to God, her family, friends, employees, and those closest to her.
