In 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…

DetailsCasual Friday is great, but don’t take it too far, or this might happen! If you are asking yourself whether you should wear your jorts or your jeggings this Friday, you might need this book.
DetailsThanks to YouTube, we can all enjoy terrible corporate training videos. Here are a few of my favorites that will show the mistakes to avoid. 1. Trying too hard to be cool. There’s not much to say about this one except some people just shouldn’t rap. What musical genius do you think is behind this…
DetailsYou know what’s annoying about work? The phone rings and you have to answer it and be nice and stuff. Yuck. Lucky for you I can teach you how to avoid those important business calls. Watch and enjoy! Find more videos like this at LevityUniversity.com.
DetailsAs I have reported before, Americans are pathetic at taking vacation. The average American gets 12 days of vacation every year and only takes 10 of them. Europeans, on the other hand, get an average of 25 days of vacation every year and take every single one of them. That’s why Europeans always seem to…

DetailsYou won’t like me when I’m angry, and when people are on their iPads/iPhones/Blackberries/Blueberries while I’m giving a presentation, I get angry! If you know someone in your office who is a repeat offender, send them this video, and maybe they will take the hint. Otherwise, you have my permission to get your smash on!
Recently a news anchor at a local Alabama television station was fired for comments she made on her personal blog. Among other things, she admitted to stealing people’s mail to learn things about them, and she also mentioned that she is terrified of old people. Apparently her silly bosses thought it was inappropriate for one…
