About Travis Hearne

After 9 years in the Marines with combat deployments to Iraq (2008 and 2009) and Afghanistan (2010), five years of leading teams in the intelligence community, and three years leading teams for a Fortune 100 company, Dr. Travis Hearne has learned that in order to thrive, we have to do hard things. His passion is to bring his military, academic, and professional experience to others so they can walk through the battlefield of business together. He has spoken to thousands of leaders around the globe, consulted with several Fortune 500 companies, and helped executives and senior leaders change their professional and personal lives.

Over the last five years, Travis has focused on promoting holistically healthy leadership through his writing, keynotes, consulting, and coaching. He believes that if we push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and into something difficult, we can accomplish anything — but we have to be willing to do the hard things. We can never quit on the uphill, when it gets tough, or when all we want to do is give up.

We have to be radically committed to our commitments and how we show up for ourselves and for the people around us. If we are brave enough, once the storm passes, we will find ourselves better human beings — well equipped to take on the next storm.

Travis is the CEO, Founder, and Principal Consultant of his firm, and the author of two books: Hybrid: A Guide for Successfully Leading On-site and Remote Teams, and Through the Storm: The Path to Becoming a Resilient Leader.
