Jeff Havens - Biography

With the invention of the award-winning Uncrapify Your Life! series of keynote speeches, Jeff Havens has turned the entire professional speaking world on its head. By encouraging his audiences to do the opposite of everything he recommends, Jeff offers a motivational address utterly unlike anything corporate America has ever seen, one that is guaranteed to leave the members of your group refreshed, surprised, and begging for more.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vanderbilt University, Jeff began his career as a high school English teacher before following his father Rex Havens into the world of stand-up comedy, where he worked with some of the brightest lights in American comedy and honed the art of engaging audiences through laughter. But his impulse to teach never faded, and soon he began looking for an avenue to combine both of his passions into a single, cohesive presentation.

The result is Uncrapify Your Life!, and in the two years since its introduction Jeff has brought his unique, side-splitting, message-based keynote addresses to General Electric, McDonald’s, Ford Motor Company, USBank, Frito-Lay, and over a hundred other corporations in the U.S. and Canada. Original, informative, hilarious and powerful, Jeff’s speeches have transformed the way businesspeople approach the idea of personal and professional growth. In the words of one conference attendee, “I laughed until I had tears in my eyes – and walked away feeling better about work than I have in years. The reverse psychology is a great way to get the point across, and he does a wonderful job of it.”

As an added benefit, the "Uncrapify Your Life!" address has also been known to occasionally cure asthma.
