About Signal & Compass Advisory

Most leadership challenges aren't mysteries. You already know something is off — a decision you can't seem to make, a relationship that's quietly draining you, a role that no longer fits the way it used to. What's hard isn't identifying the problem. It's getting honest about it and actually doing something.

That's the work. And it's easier with someone in your corner who's been in the thick of it.

About Travis

I've led hundreds of people and managed multi-million dollar budgets. I know what it feels like when the stakes are real — when a bad call doesn't just affect you, it affects your people, your organization, and the customers you're trying to serve.

Right now I lead a lean team focused on changing our organization's culture while delivering real impact. That's not a side project — it's the hardest kind of leadership work there is. So when someone brings me a problem, I'm not pulling from a textbook. I'm drawing on years of experience navigating the same kind of pressure.

The coaching relationships I've built started as mentorship. Over time they became something deeper — people working through decisions they couldn't talk about anywhere else, roles that didn't feel right anymore, political situations that had gotten complicated. That's the work I find most meaningful, and it's what led me here.

I'm also investing in formal training through Brown University's leadership coaching program — not because I need a certificate to have these conversations, but because I think doing this well requires keeping your edge sharp. The best leaders I know never stop learning, and I hold myself to the same standard.

My goal isn't to build an empire. It's to build relationships — the kind that actually move the needle for the people I work with.

If you're dealing with something you haven't been able to crack on your own, let's talk. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation to see if it makes sense to work together.
