Heard Travis on a Podcast?
The fact that you're here says something. Most people hear something that lands and move on. You didn't. That instinct to go further — to actually understand the why behind what you just heard — is exactly what this work is built for.
Most change initiatives fail not because of bad strategy — but because of neuroscience nobody accounted for. The brain registers organizational change the same way it registers physical threat. New structure, new technology, new leadership — it doesn’t matter. The response is the same. And most organizations design their change programs as if that weren’t true.
Travis spent more than a decade studying that response in EEG labs, at Harvard, and inside some of the world’s most complex organizations. The Six Barriers framework is what he built from it. Every conversation, every keynote, and every chapter in the book is an attempt to make that science usable — for leaders who are done losing to resistance they can’t explain.
Travis sends occasional writing on the neuroscience of change, leadership under pressure, and what’s actually working inside the organizations he works with. No schedule. No filler. Just the thinking between episodes.
