Following in his father Sargent Shriver's footsteps, Mark Kennedy Shriver has dedicated his life to improving the lives of children and eradicating poverty. With a deep sense of compassion and commitment to social justice, Shriver, a former Maryland legislator, inspires audiences to continue the war on poverty at a time when the recession has hit vulnerable populations the hardest. One in four children in the U.S. now live in poverty, more than there have been in generations. Shriver shares with audiences his strategies, both personal and professional, for creating programs and policies that create systemic change -• by providing better resources, better employment opportunities, and investment in early childhood education, among other efforts.
What have you done today to help the world? As Mark Kennedy Shriver's inspirational leadership at Save the Children has shown, one person can make a difference, and he inspires audiences to do just that in this uplifting keynote. Drawing on his experience as an elected official, humanitarian, and non-profit leader, Shriver shares the lessons he has learned throughout his life and career that contribute to improving the lives of others, especially disadvantaged children and youth in impoverished regions across the world. Audiences will be moved by his message of how they can show care and concern for the world around them by taking real action and lending a helping hand.
Shriver’s book, A Good Man, is a tribute to his father – the man who was the driving force behind the Peace Corp, the Job Corps, and Head Start, and, in his presentations, Mark Shriver recalls how after a lifetime searching for the path to his father’s success, he turned his aim to the hunt for his father’s joy. Shriver’s message is an important reminder of what’s important in life, and a prescription for how individuals, companies, and mission organizations can make a lasting difference. His message is uplifting, and his speech is full of poignant and funny anecdotes. He also describes the three guiding principles that can be applied to anyone: faith, hope, and love. According to Shriver, these comprise the DNA of a successful career, a happy family, and a meaningful life.
