Motivational Speaker Mike Tikkanen
Since 1996, he's volunteered in the Guardian ad-Litem program as a court appointed special advocate (CASA). Mike has worked with about fifty "Invisible Children" that have become part of the County Child Protection System. Mike has become passionate about the madness that surrounds the treatment of abused and neglected children.
Learn the key issues facing abused and neglected children, what programs and policies work to improve their lives, and how you can be a better advocate for at risk children.
A public speaker on business for the past twenty years, Mike decided to bring public attention to what goes on behind closed doors and in the dark corners of our communities. Mike recently held a workshop at the United Nations in New York, and has spoken at many conferences (Social Workers, Women's Prison Wardens, Educators) and hundreds of business, community, and religious organizations.
Once you've heard Mike's message on Invisible Children, you'll never be the same. If you want a program that gets your audience thinking, you'll call Mike Tikkanen. He guarantees a message filled with rock solid evidence, emotion, and ideas. Call him for Luncheons, breakouts, and keynotes"
