Signature Speaking Topics
Gina Clark Hayes brings over two decades as a trademark attorney and a lifetime of faith into every message she shares. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by real experience, each talk offers audiences practical wisdom and lasting hope — whether they're gathered in a sanctuary, a boardroom, or a lecture hall.
1. Planted By The River
Finding Transformative Hope in Life's Hardest Seasons Ideal for: church and faith-based audiences.
"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord... They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." — Jeremiah 17:7–8
Hope isn't the absence of hard seasons — it's the root system that holds you together inside them. Gina walks audiences through what it truly means to be planted, what a healthy root system requires, the difference between transformative hope and wishful thinking, and how to stay green even in drought.
In this talk:
• What It Means to Be Planted
• The Root System — What Hope Actually Requires
• Transformative Hope vs. Wishful Thinking
• Staying Green in Drought
2. Fear Over Faith
How to Protect What God Has Given You Ideal for: professionals and entrepreneurs.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." — 2 Timothy 1:7
Drawing on her career protecting brands as a trademark attorney, Gina reveals a powerful parallel: the same principle that governs intellectual property law governs your God-given purpose. If you don't protect it, someone — or something — else will claim it. This talk equips audiences to guard their gifts, identity, calling, and story against fear and doubt.
In this talk:
• Protecting the Unique Gifts and Abilities God Has Given You
• Your God-Given Identity (Not Defined by Others' Opinions)
• Your Calling — The Assignment You Were Placed Here to Fulfill
• Your Story — No One Else Can Tell It
• The Enemy's Real Strategy: Getting You to Abandon What's Yours
• The Three Thieves
3. Rooted And Resilient
Building a Life of Purpose, Peace, and Promise Ideal for: college and educational settings.
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." — Colossians 2:6–7
Purpose isn't a destination you find — it's a life you build, one obedient step at a time. And resilience isn't toughness; it's rootedness. Gina challenges the myth of "finding purpose" and gives audiences a practical architecture for building a life that lasts.
In this talk:
• The Myth of Finding Purpose
• What "Rooted" Actually Means
• What Resilience Actually Is
• The Three Redirections — When a Detour Is Really Direction
• Building the Life — Practical Architecture
4. Integrity & Authenticity
Lessons in Integrity, Identity, and Faith Ideal for: corporate, church, and professional association audiences.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." — Colossians 3:23–24
You don't leave your faith at the door when you walk into your workplace. Christ in you is the most powerful professional credential you carry. Drawing directly from her career as an attorney, Gina shows audiences how to close the gap between who they are on Sunday and who they are at work.
In this talk:
• The Split We Live In — and Why It Costs Us
• Integrity — The Lessons Being a Lawyer Taught Me
• Identity — Knowing Who You Are Before the Room Decides
• Faith as a Professional Asset, Not a Liability
• What It Looks Like to Represent Christ in Every Room
