Speed Dating Description
Hip Hop Dating coach Yo Jeff brings his exciting approach of finding a life partner to the popular matchmaking system of Speed Dating with his style of Speed Dating which is run mostly like a traditional speed dating event where participants have 6 minutes per date and receive notification of their matches on the spot.  The difference is at Yo Jeff’s Speed Dating events each round of dating is given a theme from his book “20 Soul Questions for a Better Relationship.” 

Participants are asked to include the theme in their speed date conversations.  Before the dating begins Yo Jeff does a presentation on his patented Hip Hop dating formula including tips on maximizing speed dating.  Yo Jeff also breaks up the speed dating rounds with fun games like his “First date” game and his “Personal Pitch” game. 

Workshop Description
This is an interactive session that will show participants how to date in a way that will enhance their lives.  They will learn how to be a good dater. They will learn how to deal with the “dating predators” who seek to break hearts and spread disease. They will also build their own Dating Contract and discuss the common needs of individuals. 

Yo Jeff empowers participants with tools to enable them to avoid various health issues including Sexual Assault, Domestic Abuse, STDs and Misogyny.  Participant will also learn healthy dating techniques, which help defend themselves from both dating predators and sexual predators.
