Seventy million viewers watched Jeff in action on MTV's longest-running reality show, MADE. Thousands of newspapers and magazines have reported on the impact Jeff Yalden is having on today's youth.

Jeff has authored a series of books, including Keep It Simple, Twenty Ways to Keep It Simple, Traits of a Leader, and his latest, They Call Me Coach. Jeff also contributed to A Cup of Chicken Soup for the Soul and coauthored Lead Now or Step Aside.

When Jeff visits a school, he leaves the students thinking about their own lives in new ways. He inspires them to consider what is possible when they take charge. Students listen to Jeff because he meets them on their own playing field, speaking in a language they understand about issues that truly concern them. Jeff believes that success in life - fulfillment and service - is contingent upon how we perceive ourselves as individuals and, consequently, the attitude with which we approach others. Life itself is not complicated; that's something we do. Says Jeff, "the mind is a wonderful servant and a horrible master."

Jeff's charm and flamboyance are so infectious that parents and teachers often find themselves rethinking their own lives in exciting new ways. In one complete program, Jeff entertains, educates, and empowers everyone in earshot. It is a program about education and life, attitude and respect - morals that come through Jeff's humorous and touching stories. It is, in fact, Jeff's honesty about his own shortcomings that endears him most to youth. He was, by his own estimation, a grade-A loser who only discovered his true self, his most powerful possibilities, when he grew sick of being sick and finally took charge.

A Message From Jeff Why do I have so many satisfied clients? Because my goal is to give you more than you expect. I concentrate on being of service and making a difference; the sales take care of themselves. I take pride in being a role model to today's youth, teaching them how it is cool to be happy and do right by others, teaching them about their own power. I deliver short stories that lead students to healthier lifestyles free of drugs and full of humor and joy. This is perhaps most clear when the students gather round after my program to express their gratitude, shake hands, etc. It's my honor to give every student a free autographed picture by which they can remember the messages, the feelings between the words. Some planners tell me, "Jeff, your program sounds fun and educational, but I'm concerned about content: language, off-color remarks, religious connotations." These are valid concerns, but I assure you that everything I say and do is family-friendly. Remember that I am the most traveled youth speaker in the world. I personally deliver over 250 programs annually to schools, youth conferences, teacher in-services, special events, churches, even TV. I have encountered the fuddiest of duddies and am pleased to report that even they give my program the thumbs-up. Kind regards, Jeff Yalden
