Uncrapify Your Life

Jeff Havens

Speaker, Author and Career Expert

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vanderbilt University, Jeff began his career as a high school English teacher before following his father into the world of stand-up comedy. But his impulse to teach never faded, and soon he combined both of his passions into entertaining and meaningful presentations. Since then, Jeff has brought his unique, side-splitting, message-based lectures and keynote addresses to General Electric, Ford Motor Company, University of Wisconsin, Purdue, and hundreds of other corporations and colleges in the United States and Canada.

Uncrapify Your Life! is a study in exactly what not to do. Audiences will be ‘encouraged’ to criticize others and outsource blame before Jeff brings it all home with a more serious discussion about proper communication, customer service, and accountability practices. By highlighting and poking fun at practices of which we are all guilty, Uncrapify Your Life! offers a unique and delightful twist on the traditional motivational model.
