Youth Educational Speaker, Author, and Mental Health Advocate Mike Sullivan grew up in Chicago, IL.

His mother was a Music Teacher and his father loved listening to Character Development Speakers. Over time the two art forms found their way into Mike's heart. 

Mike was bullied in elementary and middle school to the point of developing severe anxiety and depression.  Fortunately he discovered the 3 KEYS to overcome both and now he shares his BORN TO SHINE school assemblies with K-12 students.  His mission is to provide a CLEAR PATH for students to overcome anxiety and depression so they can SHINE from the inside out and THRIVE in school and life!

Combining his BA in Psychology, funny stories, and interactive support songs, Sullivan's 'Born To Shine' method provides the 'exact tools' students need for a happier, healthier and more productive life.

Learning Outcomes: Self-Esteem, Empathy, Kindness, Resiliency, and Character Development.
