Building Connections

After publishing my books, Surface Tension and Cracked Surface, I dedicate myself to bringing my message to conferences around the world. Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, I break through the myths and boundaries of Predatory Grooming, Long-term Effects of Sexual Abuse, and Surviving.

Building Connections

I will speak with your team, organization,or school from miles away on camera. Even though it is a virtual space I can still provide thoughtful and inspirational workshops. Distance will no longer be a barrier for your organization.

Workshops and Keynotes

As a speaker and innovator, I will bring new life and connection to your next event. Contact me, and we can design a workshop or presentation that fits the needs that you have today.

Presentations

Embrace the Future

John-Michael battled with finding his true self and authentic voice. As an athlete, he endured sexual abuse from coaches, benefactors, and medical team which resulted in years of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and even suicide attempts. His research, The Grooming Trifecta, provides how grooming effects everyone no matter their sexual orientation, gender, or religious beliefs.

The True You

I develop interactive presentations while creating a safe environment for survivors and their loved ones to explore the ramifications of Predatory Grooming, Long-Term Effects of Sexual Abuse, and Regaining Your True Self. Using my personal experience, I am sharing how I have coped with my past and have been discovering my true self. It is a life long process.

The XYZs of Abuse

1 in 4 females and 1 in 6 males are abused before the age of 18. In athletics these numbers are higher, but are not reported. Each and every victims' experience is unique and different. There is not one cookie-cutter remedy. It is a life-long process for survivors to understand, forgive, and accept. And it is a completely different process for those who love the survivor.

Tracey Hiete Smith

Former Tennis pro and host of the groundbreaking podcast, Open Stance. Open Stance is designed after scientific research, which shows that putting language to experience actually does lead to healing, and

acknowledging that the silent killer is the secret buried deep within. In a very open acknowledgment, talking about trauma is critical in the healing and recovery process. My podcast format allows the mentors/guests a safe space without time pressure and offers an open and flexible environment to relay stories and experiences at their own pace, in their own words, and in their own way.
