When is Enough Actually Enough?

Jeff Havens — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 16:10:32 +0000

My wife is from Spain, and ever since I met her I have been fond of saying that the best way to live is somewhere between the American way and Spanish way. I’m pretty sure that statement could be applied more broadly as well – somewhere between my way and your way is the best…

Here’s How a Great Hotel Treats Its Meeting Planners

Jeff Havens — Sat, 21 May 2016 11:00:30 +0000

In my ten years as a keynote speaker, I’ve spoken at hundreds of conferences and stayed in hundreds of hotels. As with anything any of us have done hundreds of times, many of those hotel experiences have been acceptably forgettable, neither so incredible or so awful that they merit a special place in my memory.…

When I Say Let’s Go Someplace Like Bolivia…

Jeff Havens — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 18:40:20 +0000

Many of you know because of my last post that my wife and I recently went to Bolivia for 10 days to visit her sister, who is volunteering for a year in Potosi. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s because you’re normal – I couldn’t have named a single Bolivian town before we started…

What Airlines Taught me About the Power of Repetition

Jeff Havens — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 16:37:03 +0000

I’d like to apologize to the airline industry. I’m sorry, airline industry, because I’m about to make fun of you. Well let me clarify – I’m not sorry, because you’re doing something dumb that I wish you’d stop doing – but I’m afraid you guys will end up being the targets of a disproportionate number…

Traveling Outside Your Comfort Zone

Jeff Havens — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 11:00:29 +0000

So last month I went to Jamaica for the first time, where I was keynoting a conference for a bunch of folks from Indiana who had shrewdly decided that Jamaica is a slightly sexier winter hangout than Fort Wayne. Now before you get mad at me and start throwing rocks or pickles or whatever happens…

4 Amazing Places Virtually Nobody Has Heard Of

Jeff Havens — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:05:20 +0000

Greetings again from the United States! My wife and I recently returned from a visit to her family in Spain, where everyone is constantly eating gelato. In fact, a recent study found that the average Spaniard is 10% hydrogen, 8% oxygen, and 82% pistachio gelato. Lick a Spanish person’s arm sometime and see for yourself…

Go Someplace Amazing!

Jeff Havens — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 11:05:15 +0000

Welcome to summer! At least I hope it’s summer where you are. So far pretty much every day of my summer has involved a 50% chance of rain, and it’s rained 90% of the time, which means that meteorologists are really bad at math. I’ve been forced to mow my grass twice a week, which…
