Our 2008 Keynote Speaker
Jeff Yalden
This year, we were pleased to present Jeff Yalden, MTV's MADE Teen Life Coach. Jeff has addressed youth representing over 48 countries, more than 3,500 middle schools, high schools, leadership/youth conferences, colleges and universities. 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.
