AMERICA. The very word instills pride, love, fearlessness, triumph and thoughts of the men and women who gave their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to create and ensure for her citizens the promise of this great country.

But how much of the story applies to you and your organization? Is their triumph applicable to your goals and your daily life?
YES!
We celebrate the people who made and make America great each year on patriotic holidays, but what about their personal lives and those events they lived through that are the threads in the fabric of our exceptionalism?
You and your organization can find out what Great Americans did to get where they wanted to go, and to get our Country where they knew Providence was leading them.
Through unique presentations that weave history, anecdote, and real-life victories, our keynote addresses and seminar presentations will direct your organization on the correct path that others have already blazed, to a future your goals have already defined.
The answers to “how do we accomplish our Mission?” come to life and, with the common thread we all have as Americans, participants leave with tools that are bred in their very DNA. They don’t have to remember the pithy comment of a motivational speaker that they forget three days later – because our presentations remind them of the victories of Americans and give them common ground they can continue to explore together long after we have left the stage. They won’t sit in a meeting a month later and say “What did that motivational speaker say at the conference?” They will say, “Remember what George Washington said the night we crossed the Delaware!” And they will apply the lessons of our forefathers.
These are not lessons from Kristofer Cowles. They are lessons from these and many other Great Americans:
Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Alice Paul, Arthur Ashe, Barbara McClintock, Benjamin Banneker, Benjamin F. Butler, Benjamin Franklin, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Booker T.

Anthony, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Thurgood Marshall, Ulysses S. Grant.
With tens of thousands of Great Americans and their stories in our repertoire, we could relate their triumphs a hundred times a day for a year and not repeat them. There’s more than one story and lesson that fits your situation and the needs of your group.
Our presentations are as diverse as the people whom we present to. People from all walks of life have triumphed in America, including:
Artists, Architects, Athletes, Authors. Dancers, Explorers, Leaders, Inventors, Mathematicians, Men, Musicians, Philanthropists, Poets, Politicians, Scientists, Spiritual Leaders, Women.
