Rebranding Our Shame
Students in college are in a transitional phase between adolescence and adulthood. During this transition, students are inundated with expectations from society, parents, teachers, advisors, and peers that often leave them anxious, confused, and ashamed. Amidst all the noise, how can anyone know what voice to listen to? This talk will address mental health struggles associated with shame while providing students with best practices that allow them to stay true to their best-self. This program is based on his popular TEDx talk and allows everyone to rethink what is possible in their future.

- powerful insights on the shame that keeps many of us from greatness
- unique shame-releasing tricks and rituals to ignite any audience to a life full of fire and strength.
(Men)tal Health Matters
Dr. Adi Jaffe presents a practical guide for college men who are unpracticed and inexperienced in mental health care. This talk is designed to save lives. While only men seek psychological help only half as often as women, men die by suicide at four times the rate of women, die from alcohol and drug-related issues at twice the rate, and suffer from cardiovascular disease twice as often as women. Alcohol, drugs, stress, sports, and even porn addictions are some of the avenues men pursue to not directly deal with what’s between their heads. But these alternative approaches often result in mounting struggles and nowhere to go. This talk provides shame-free, easy-to-relate-to, simple-to-follow advice that college men can use to address any mental health issues they or their friends deal with. Men’s mental health matters, and this talk shows everyone why!
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending this program, students will learn:
- Identify specific male-associated mental health struggles
- Recognize the impact of mental health issues on men’s mortality and health
- Discover simple-to-use tools and perspectives to break through traditional male resistance to help!
Raising the Bar: Transforming Masculinity & Eliminating Sexual Assault
We live in a world where victims of sexual harassment and assault are speaking out and being heard like never before. This new era that has revealed exploitation and unjust power dynamics between sexes that’s been going on beneath the surface for centuries. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we have honest and real conversations with students about how this landscape was formed and educate them on how they can use integrity to create change and stop these acts from happening within universities and in the workplace. This keynote challenges men to step up to the plate and play an active role in the prevention of sexual assault using radical transparency, honest explorations, and provocative storytelling.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending this program, students will learn:
- The path to toxic masculinity: what’s broken, what’s working, and how do we do better?
- Tools to create genuine and transparent interactions and relationships
- How to act from a place of respect and integrity to maintain healthy relationships
Getting Real About Drug Use
For many students, college is the first time they are living on their own and with that responsibility come major challenges. For some, this is the first time they have to use their own judgment and moral compass to navigate the world of drug and alcohol use. With so many other new responsibilities like managing their own schedule, passing their classes, and maintaining a social life, sometimes it’s easier for students to give in to peer pressure and partake in alcohol and drug use based on what their friends, sorority sisters, or fraternity brothers are doing. This talk focuses on real talk about the norms and standards of these decisions and helps students best make their own decisions on this complicated topic without shaming them or taking away their agency and freedom.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending this program, students will learn:
- The difference between substance use and addiction
- How to navigate the party scene without over-using
- How to honestly explore your own behavior + consequences
- How to create an open line of communication about alcohol and drugs with current relationships for transparency
