From Comedian to the World Cup
Over the past 25 years, Travis Thomas transformed a career in improvisational comedy to becoming one of the top keynote speakers in the industry. He went from living the improv principles of “Yes, And” on stage, to inspiring elite leaders, professional athletes, and working his way to the World Cup as a leadership and mental skills coach.
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 coach 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. I have worked with dozens of college and professional sports teams, and some of the top Fortune 100 companies in the world.
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.
