Jeff’s approach to coaching is to walk alongside, shoulder to shoulder with students. And that’s because he’s been there before. Innovating amidst uncertainty. He understands the emotional toll of being a leader, of finding comfort in the discomfort, and pursuing a calling against all odds. His core conviction is that ordinary people can do extraordinary things—they just have to believe in something greater than themselves.

Former world backpacker turned bartender, Jeff Kirschner is a serial entrepreneur with a love for storytelling. When his 4-year-old daughter saw a plastic tub of cat litter in the woods, little did Jeff realize that it would be the spark for creating Litterati—a data-science company empowering people to create a litter-free world, where he serves as Founder & CEO.

Jeff's work has been highlighted by National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Forbes, and CNN. He is a frequent keynote speaker, member of 100 Coaches, former Global Food Fund Fellow, and resident at TED.

Most of all, he's a husband, father of two, and someone just trying to leave this place better than he found it.
