From Comedian to World Cup to Center Stage
Over the past 25 years, Travis has transformed a love of improvisational comedy and a successful career as a leadership & mindset coach into becoming one of the top keynote speakers in the industry. He went from living the improv principles of “Yes, And” on stage, to inspiring corporate executives and elite athletes to achieve success at the pinnacle of their field. Today, while continuing his coaching career, he brings these same powerful tenets to audiences of all backgrounds – inspiring them to approach life’s challenges with radical acceptance, authentic responses, and with these tools become high performers.
My Story
I always knew I wanted to help people, I just didn’t know what it would look like. For the past 20+ years, my personal mission has been to “inspire myself and others to live their authentic brilliance.”
This started very humbly when I decided I wanted to share the life-transforming principles of improvisation with people in all walks of life. It led me to become a life and executive coach, and then into sports performance as a leadership coach at the famed IMG Academy.
I then created my own company, “Live Yes, And” based on the foundational principle of improvisation, to share this wisdom more broadly. I have worked with dozens of college and professional sports teams, elite athletes, corporate executives and many Fortune 100 companies.
My first book, “3 Words for Getting Unstuck: Live Yes, And,” eventually landed me on the coaching staff for three years for the US Men’s National Soccer Team, culminating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. My mission hasn’t changed, and I continue to find new ways to help and inspire people.
