DetailsI’ve been asked to speak in some weird places, like New Jersey, for example, but the weirdest speaking job I ever had started when a guy on a tractor hired me. Now that I know better I’ll think twice before taking a job from someone riding a piece of farm equipment. Hear more about my…
DetailsIf you’re even halfway smart – and you must be since you’ve chosen to read this – you’re spending some amount of energy marketing online. Word on the street is that the Internet is still going strong, and it’s one of the best (and cheapest) ways to tell people about whatever awesome thing you do…
DetailsFor several years I have presented How to Get Fired! on college campuses across the country, where I try to help college students prepare for their professional life by telling them everything they shouldn’t do once they apply for and then receive a job. Tucked into my suggestions that they should show up drunk, write…

DetailsPeople often ask me how to introduce a guest speaker, and as usual, I take the backwards approach. Watch this video to find some great tips for speaker introductions and I promise the audience will love you, then quickly forget about you because they are so excited for the guest speaker, thanks to your awesome…
DetailsI know you hate writing your newsletter. You didn’t even want to do it in the first place. Someone said, “Hey, would you mind helping out with our newsletter?” and you thought that saying “Yes!” would be a great way to showcase your enthusiasm and work ethic and maybe help you get a promotion. Then…
DetailsIn between speaking engagements I spend the majority of my time reading my old blog posts on JeffHavens.com. What? You don’t? Well, you should, especially if your parents are forcing you to find a job. I’ve got some great tips and tricks that will keep you on your parents’ couch well in to your 40s!…

DetailsOrdinarily when it comes to issues of generational supremacy, I’m not particularly partisan. I’m 35, comfortably wedged between the Boomers and Millennials and thus incapable of deciding if I am actually a young or old person. On the one hand I still listen to modern music, but on the other hand I write my texts…
DetailsI love it when my job is done for me. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s soooooo worth it. I owe a giant debt of gratitude to Jon Ferguson, who saw me present for the Cleveland Browns a year ago and was then kind enough to write me the following email. I…
DetailsPeople often tell me I’m one of the most energetic speakers they’ve ever seen. My friend Cathie on Facebook wanted to know how I speak for so long and so fast. Watch this video to find out! Be the first to know when I upload a new video by subscribing to my YouTube channel!…
DetailsSo recently I came across the most hilariously horrific post-networking follow-up letter I have ever heard of. It’s probably legendary by now, since as far as I can tell the only things that go viral on the Internet are bad rap parodies and stories of idiots being idiots. In case you haven’t seen it yet, …
DetailsJeff Havens here! If you’re tired of hearing my rants, today’s your lucky day because I’m passing the keys to the blog to Amanda, the Marketing Director here at Big Pow! I hope you’re wearing a helmet! I have a confession for you. You don’t need a marketing degree to know how to sell stuff.…
DetailsAre the old people and the tiny little baby people in your office constantly butting heads? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a hilarious, energetic, not-too-old-and-not-too-young keynote speaker who could come to your company and talk to them to help the generations get along better? Jeff Havens to the rescue! My Us vs Them…
DetailsYou can probably use millions of words to describe employers as a whole, but ‘subtle’ isn’t one of them. Recently Wisconsin took up a bill to make it illegal for employers to force job seekers to hand over their social media passwords, making Wisconsin (at least at the time of this writing) the 15th state…

Leave it to the Wall Street Journal to take all of the fun out of funny. They recently published an article about the salutary effects of humor in the workplace that will teach you, among other things, that “research shows employers like to hire people with a sense of humor.” Which I’m sure you’ll find…
DetailsWhether you’re an old person or a tiny little baby person, you’ll love my generations in the workplace business infographic, or as I like to call it, the Jeffographic! It’s based off of my presentation Us Vs. Them, which you can watch a preview of here. Enjoy! Want to share this…
DetailsI think sometimes that people do new research studies because they don’t like the results they got from their old studies and are hoping that somehow, magically, things will be different this time around. That’s the only reason I can explain for why the Chicago Cubs are still a baseball team, since study after study…
