Better work for a better world

Craft is the harmony between skill, wisdom and high quality materials; where how we make is just as important as what we make. As a Craft Consultant, I combine the best of science with the wisdom of your world to create learning experiences that address exactly what you need, right when you need it.

Emergence is when collective intelligence surpasses individual brilliance. When ants form colonies or birds flock or when humans collaborate to expand their own horizons. Craft consulting cultivates collective intelligence to solve complex problems.

a bit about me

I'm Travis Jones, and for over fifteen years I have designed and facilitated hundreds of learning experiences for some of the world’s most impactful organizations. I have delivered keynote talks to audiences of all sizes and my TEDX talk has impacted tens of thousands of people. I am deeply passionate about the power of people thinking better together. I created the Emergent Meetings™ process from my research on complexity science, human development and neuroscience to help leaders tap the collective intelligence of their teams.

Human beings have evolved to be super-collaborators. Emergent Meetings™ leverages 100 million hours of natural intelligence to transform your biggest challenges into breaktrhough solutions.

Crafted Talks and workshops 

The ancient philosopher, Heraclitus, said “no one ever steps into the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they’re not the same person.” This view of people, and especially groups, as ever-evolving is what drives my commitment to crafting custom talks and workshops that speak to the changing social climate and the on-the-ground realities of the groups I serve. I approach notoriously difficult topics as a welcome challenge and am known for using story, humor and science to make complex ideas more sticky and actionable. I am the product of a long line of educators and thinkers who used their gifts of oratory to shift thinking and spark more expansive views of the world. So I see my speaking work as an opportunity to pass that gift along to others.

What others have to say….

"As a facilitator, Travis creates environments of comfortable contribution. As a speaker, he engages, provokes thought, and leaves a lasting impact on his audience. As a creative partner, he sparks and generates ideas that change things and others. Any team looking to improve their collaboration, innovation, or communication is better for having him on it."

— Janet Stovall CDE, Global Head of DEI, The NeuroLeadership Institute—

WAYS TO Craft TOGETHER

  • Designed to dive deep into the topics that are most prescient for your group, crafted talks focus on generating insights that are transformational and actionable long into the future. Have a set of ideas or issues that you’d love to combine into a single talk? Let’s craft something together!

  • Neuroscience research is clear: humans build to think. I craft custom workshops that cultivate leadership skills through a range of experiential modalities. Below are a few examples of workshops that I’ve recently crafted:

    • DEI by Design: Equipping leaders to shift from making the business case for DEI to make the DEI case for business

    • The Craft of Inclusion: Moving beyond the feeling of inclusion to the skills of working inclusively

    • Movers Minds: A program for leaders to incorporate the science and practice of experiential learning into their tool-kit

    • Good Work Works: Improving engagement and wellbeing by incorporating the principles of healthier forms of work

  • Emergent Meetings™ is a collaborative skills program based on research from human development and complexity science that equips leaders with a process for cultivating higher levels of collective intelligence in the groups they lead. It is offered as a training program or as a facilitated process for your organization’s most high-impact and strategic meetings.
