Valley Forge Address From Vital Speeches by JAMES HODGES
Victory or Death - Crossing the Delaware
Possibly the most spellbinding story Jim tells is about the battles
for Trenton and Princeton, the defining event in the American
Revolution. Times were desperate and the army would evaporate
without a decisive win. This professional speaker will mesmerize
the audience as they listen to how victory was won by George Washington's
ethical leadership principles --- principles that can be most
effectively used by today's business leaders.
Against All Odds - Victory of Yorktown
In this profound message, Jim, as a motivational speaker, relates
how Washington, using all the principles of leadership, was able
to bring together two nations, three armies, Congress and civilians.
The armies marched 450 miles to defeat the British at Yorktown.
Audiences learn how George Washington's courage and faith in God,
his men and America sustained and strengthened his resolve and
brought forth this great nation!
George Washington - The Ultimate Leader
Washington determined at an early age that he would be a leader.
With the help of three great mentors, George "invented"
himself in the personification of a purely ethical leader who
believed he owed America his service in whatever capacity was
required. In this deeply moving presentation, Jim, as both a public
speaker and a keynote speaker, proves how the United States was
created through George Washington's belief in her people.
