John-Michael Lander is creating a voice. Through writing, speaking, and consulting, he helps individuals and organizations identify the signs of grooming, manipulating, and stigmatizing of sexual abuse and how to help survivors (of any type of abuse) face the past and find their true self.
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.
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.
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.
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 PTDS, 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.
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.
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.

CEASE UK's VISON
Our vision is to see a society where porn is no longer seen as harmless, recreational fun, but is recognised as violent, misogynistic and racist and damaging to society.
We want Britain to be a nation that recognises prostitution as exploitative and seeks to reduce demand and ultimately end the sex trade through the introduction of the Equality Model (or the ‘Nordic Model’).
We are fighting for a culture that recognises hypersexualisation, porn-culture and the sexual objectification of women as incompatible with true sex equality.
Ultimately, we want to help Britain to become a country whose national institutions stand up publicly against the sexual exploitation and abuse of the sex trade and sex industry.
CEASE UK's AIMS
1. To expose the inherent harms and abuses of the commercial sex industry (e.g. porn, strip clubs) and the global sex trade (prostitution) and their destructive cultural influence.
2. To raise awareness of the links between all forms of sexual exploitation among key public sector bodies and charities.
3.To dismantle the commercial and cultural forces which fuel sexual exploitation and become an agent for systemic change.
4. To unify, strengthen and resource the sexual exploitation sector, in order to amplify a powerful, collective voice.
What do we mean by sexual exploitation?
Sexual exploitation is: “Any actual or attempted abuse of position of vulnerability, differential power or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another.” 1 Closely related to this is sexual abuse, defined as: “Actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions.”
Sexual exploitation encompasses a wide-range of sexual abuse or utilitarian sexual uses of persons, regardless of age. It includes sexual objectification, sexual violence, pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking and more.
It always involves:
The harmful effects of sexual exploitation are not limited to the victims: when the most vulnerable individuals in our society are robbed of the opportunity to thrive, living a life free from sexual harm, we all feel the effects.
We have a responsibility to fight back and to hold to account the multi-billion dollar industries that feed off exploitation and abuse.
