BOOM! Yalden Book Launches Sunday

by

This Sunday, the BOOM is going to drop, and author Jeff Yalden couldn’t be more stoked. Yalden’s brand new book, BOOM! One Word to Instantly Inspire Action, Deliver Rewards, and Positively Affect Your Life Every Day! is set for release on Kindle, in paperback and as an audiobook this Sunday, May 28. Part of Yalden’s excitement is that BOOM! is already an Amazon bestseller, reaching number one in several categories – thanks to its preorder numbers. Another reason he is excited is the fact the he knows BOOM! will change your life if you apply the principles contained between its covers. BOOM is a quick read – and there is an awesome reason for this. “The average person only reads less than ten percent of a book – so I wrote a book 18000 words long. That’s it.  I wanted it that way. I wanted you to read it – and then pass it on to a friend. That was my intention as I wrote this book,” Yalden said. Jeff has been working on BOOM! since he went through a spinal cord fusion last year while also battling type 2 diabetes, losing 80 pounds along the way.  He briefly retired from professional speaking, but has since come back stronger than ever, reestablishing his place among the best of the best. “I am excited to get this book out there,” he said. “It is a book that is about celebrating little victories every single day.” But what is the BOOM? BOOM! is a revolutionary mindset that is about to bring awesome back into your life. BOOM! is a factor and an effect. The BOOM! is the jet fuel you need to be able to turn challenges into new opportunities and to reward yourself after every accomplishment and every plan successfully executed. And in this book – Jeff will help you discover your BOOM!

“I want this book to be for young adults. I want this book to be for parents and people that struggle with mental illness. This book is about taking responsibility every single day – about adding one simple word into your life to take action – but it’s also one simple word that gives you reward for a job well-done – whether you made those three phone calls this morning – whether you got up and did something you didn’t want to do – whether you had to struggle through a project and at the end – like, fist bump – chest bump – you did it!” This brief read will change your life. By reading this book you will learn how to take control now and implement the BOOM! to make many positive changes in your life:
  • Let the Law of Attraction work for you
  • Be patient with the process of success
  • Turn your dreams into goals and plans
  • Learn from your mistakes
  • Deal with mental illness
  • Take responsibility
  • Know you who are and who you aren’t
  • Be true to your self
  • Think more positively
  • And so much more
In this high-energy, short, and to the point book, Jeff Yalden, a professional motivational speaker, tells it like it is while sharing his own personal struggles. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Bestselling author Hal Elrod of The Miracle Morning had this to say about BOOM: “BOOM! works magic if you implement it into your everyday life. And (as Jeff will tell you) BOOM! is the perfect addition to your Miracle Mornings!” Bring the BOOM into your life by clicking here. Jeff wants to know about your BOOM! moments. Join the BOOM!

High School Motivational Speaker inspires British Columbia High School

by

Leading Teen Motivational Speaker Inspires in Canada Jeff Yalden at Lakes District Secondary School By Roger Yale for Jeff Yalden, Youth Motivational Speaker The second leg of teen motivational speaker Jeff Yalden’s trip to British Columbia found him in the Village of Burns Lake, which is touted as the gateway to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, a protected area encompassing a jaw-dropping 3,790 square miles of Western Canadian splendor. “One of the things I really enjoy about what I do is having the opportunity to look out the windshield and see beautiful country in different parts of the world,” he said. Yalden was brought in by an organization called the Nechako area Children and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative [CYMHSU], which is in place to provide mental health and substance abuse support to individuals and families in British Columbia. He spoke to an assembly of grades 8-12 at Lakes District Secondary School on Thursday, February 23. “This was a very intimate session with about 500 kids. We spoke for two hours about mental health, dealing with anger, perseverance, anxiety, how to deal with your emotions, and self-esteem,” he said. Jeff was impressed with the positive vibe as soon as he arrived. “My favorite part of walking into a school is when you see the positive inspiration that surrounds them every day. I think it’s important to dress up the school and make it a home – and environment that fosters learning, love and caring – perseverance and overcoming challenges. I love it.” School staffers cited high stress levels in the 12th graders from factors like academics and peer pressure, and Yalden drew on tried-and-true topics from his motivational toolbox – including transition, resilience and mental health. “The best way to build self-esteem is to be challenged with something and to be able to work your way through it,” he said. He also urged students who felt overwhelmed to find adults that they trust and respect – and whose opinions they value – and don’t be afraid to go to them. “If you ask me, overnight success takes 15 to 20 years,” he said. He asked the students what they were willing to work hard to accomplish, and placed the responsibility directly on their shoulders. “As parents, we do the best we can but we are not perfect. Sometimes we want to give you our wisdom and experience – but ultimately this is your life. This is your dream. This is your world.” Yalden told them to be sure to write down their dreams, turn them into plans and back up those plans with consistent action. Of course, many things can threaten to take a person out of purpose – but we can get back on track by asking better questions. “Many of us deal with abuse. We deal with alcoholism, blended families, divorce and financial struggles. I get it. But I want every one of you to understand that through the struggles – the trials and tribulations – you still have a purpose and a life to live. Start at the beginning, and value yourself,” he said. Jeff Yalden has addressed more than 4000 teen audiences in all 50 states, every province in Canada and 49 countries. Find out more at www.jeffyalden.com. Jeff’s speaking calendar fills up fast.

Top Teen Suicide Prevention Expert visits Vanderhoof, BC

Top Teen Suicide Prevention Speaker Visits Vanderhoof, British Columbia Jeff Yalden Galvanizes Nechako Valley Secondary School By Roger Yale for Jeff Yalden, Teen Motivational Speaker Vanderhoof, British Columbia, is a small Canadian municipality nearly a thousand miles north of Seattle. It was the first stop on a two-day speaking trip for North America’s top teen motivational speaker, Jeff Yalden. “The one thing I notice that is really different about being up in Canada is the people,” he said. Canadians are real nice and instantly they become like family.” Yalden was booked for a full day at Nechako Valley Secondary School on February 22, which included a school assembly, visits with at-risk kids and a Parent/Community program focusing on teen mental health and suicide prevention. Nechako Valley Secondary School serves grades 7-12, boasts more than 600 students and has been in place since 1955. Yalden said he spent a lot of time visiting with all the seventh and eighth graders in individual classrooms after meeting his contact, local government employee Debra Sewell and school principal Ken Young. “One of the things I love about coming into a community and getting ready to speak early is that you get to speak to the principal and the people who brought you in and ask them, ‘if you were speaking to these kids, what would you want to say.’” He also had the opportunity to meet a young lady named Ashley, 19, who is part of a Local Action Team in Vanderhoof. “Ashley is doing great things with the local government – trying to reduce the stigma of mental health, encouraging people to step up and do and say something,” he said. Many of the kids told Yalden that he was hilarious and the assembly was funny. “Well, I’m not really brought in to be funny, but sometimes you’ve got to deliver the content through humor – and that was great.” During the assembly, he stressed the importance of personal responsibility and living in the now. “If we can’t appreciate now, then we will never be grateful for what that can be about. If life knocks you down, you get back up and strive to get back ‘in purpose,’” he said. Yalden spoke about recent suicides in the United States, including the suicide of high school senior Quai Horton in Des Moines, Iowa. Horton left many direct verbal clues on social media prior to making what Yalden calls the forever decision to take his own life. “One of the things we want to teach our young people is – the right thing to do is when you know something is going on with one of your friends and to be able to say something – and to get your friend the help that they need. That’s what a good friend does,” he said. Later, Yalden met with a small group of at-risk kids, meeting them on their level. “At first, they didn’t want anything to do with it, but once I started using a little bit of the language that they were very used to using – that turned into just an absolutely incredible hour-long conversation.” He was also happy with the turnout at the evening’s Parent/Community program. “I was impressed with the enthusiastic and caring team of staff/teachers and school administration, and very, very impressed with the local mental health community that is rallying to bring all of this to their communities up here in British Columbia.” Find out why Jeff is the perfect choice for your school, organization or event by visiting www.jeffyalden.com.
