Jeff has been praised by The New York Times, Forbes, and the Huffington Post for his work in landscaping as well as his writing, Growing Weeders into Leaders, that reveals the secret sauce in his recipe for success: his team. The PGMS, Newsweek, the Princeton Review, and USA Today all designated his team's work worthy of national distinction naming their campus as the nation's most beautiful. As noted by Dan Cathy, Chairman of Board for Chick-fil-A, "Jeff reminds us that all leaders can be cultivated with the right pruning and nurturing."

A Landscape Professional at the University of Mississippi by day, a member of the National Speakers Association by night, Jeff has worked with hundreds of leaders and organizations to find the hidden leader within themselves and others. His easy-to-follow leadership programs motivate participants to lead by example, problem solve and to engage in continuous learning and growing.

Jeff walks the walk each day and talks the talk each night. To book Jeff as a speaker, or to learn more about how you can grow your team or find the hidden leader within, go to www.jeffmcmanus.com.
