Travis is the co-founder at Human First Works. This organization helps purpose-driven founders and their teams overcome challenges, create fulfilling workplaces, and make the world a better place as they scale their businesses. With a people-centered approach, he supports leaders by helping them develop their interpersonal and decision-making skills, discover new perspectives and practices, and build more engaged, resourceful, and successful teams. He's also a facilitator of the Interpersonal Dynamics class (affectionately called Touchey Feely) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, focusing on the relationship-building side of organizational coaching and specializing in co-founder conflict. On top of all that, Travis is the co-author of "Lead Together: The Bold, Brave, Intentional Path to Scaling Your Business." This book explores what it means to be a leader, the emergence of more dynamic organizational paradigms, and the benefits of choosing peer-based relationships and meaningful work over profit and rapid growth. I had an excellent time chatting with Travis, who gave me the gift of one of my new favorite analogies for team-building: If you build a pyramid, you end up with mummies. :)
