Keynote Speaker: Mental Health Professional, Hip Hop Artist & Foster Care Expert; Former President of Foster Care Alumni of America

Travis Lloyd Biography

Travis Lloyd is the Owner and President of Changing Lives Entertainment, LLC, a speaking and consulting business serving systems of care, personal brands, beginning professional speakers, and both public and private child-welfare and mental health organizations.

After volunteering on the National Board of Directors for multiple years, Lloyd accepted the nomination as President of Foster Care Alumni of America, a national non-profit organization where he continues to hold the position. Lloyd's story has been shared on stages internationally and in nearly all 50 states. It's a story of overcoming generational cycles of abuse through a mindset shift that was inspired by "Just 1 Person" at a time. After a journey through foster care and institutions, Lloyd became a powerful advocate for positive systemic change. He understands what it takes to create mindset shifts and truly connect with clients, colleagues, and your own goals. Fostering change through "Just 1 Person" at a time is a theme that can inspire all types of groups and organizations.

Lloyd's story started as a youth when receiving services from child welfare and mental health agencies, but it took a drastic turn when he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree and began working in those same systems as a Registered Nurse. This dual perspective allowed him to view these services from a lens that was far beyond his education. After serving as a psychiatric nurse, ER nurse, and Mental Health Mobile Crisis Worker, this perspective opened doors to advocate for organizational change at local, state, and national levels. He facilitates the "Strategic Sharing Panel" which encourages systemic change by amplifying the voices of end-users such as service recipients and students. Lloyd's approach in panels promotes self-reflection, empowerment, and discussions on creating cultural shifts in workplaces.

Many who have heard Travis speak or read his book "Overcoming Emotional Trauma: Life Beyond Survival Mode" have said that his journey is a one of a kind “miracle success story.” It is a story that connects the theories of improving outcomes in organizations and systems of care with practical experiences and tangible action steps. Audiences leave feeling like someone really “gets” them, knowing they matter, and ready to improve outcomes. His presentations connect theories of improving outcomes in organizations with practical experiences and actionable steps, making him a sought-after keynote speaker focusing on empowering individuals in service-providing systems and education through personal and professional stories. His speaking topics include Crisis Management, Family, Inspiration, Life Balance, Overcoming Adversity, Personal Growth, and Youth.

Travis Lloyd Speaking Topics

Just 1 Person

Providing emotional stories about once being a hopeless youth offers a powerful reminder as to the “why” behind why you do what you do. After reminding attendees of the true impact they have as Just 1 Person in a child’s life, I explore my life-long journey of discovery, hope, and permanence and how various child-serving professionals impacted this journey, both negatively and positively. This presentation often includes the option of incorporating live performance of poetry and lyrics once used to inspire national child welfare legislation. The dots are connected as practical approaches to connecting and empowering are highlighted by uncommon stories of working as an RN in Mental Health and Pediatric Emergency, and as a Mobile Crisis Worker.

Success Against All Odds

A Story of Finding Passion & Purpose Through Health Care Professions. Inspire students to explore a vast array of health careers, or re-inspire professionals to find passion and purpose at work and home. Great for orientation events, recruitment events, and annual celebrations, among others.

Strategic Sharing Panel Facilitation

One of the most important aspects of learning to implement TIC principles in everyday practice is finding ways to understand the “Why” behind actions, lack of action, and the systems we live and work in. The Strategic Sharing Panel provides a nonjudgmental platform for service recipients to share about their journeys in front of parents, professionals, direct care providers, administrators, and executives. The panel is presented in a structured format that humanizes individuals while using a discussion format to verbally analyze their “case file.” Follow up questions highlight both the positive and negative experiences prior to ending the session with an open forum Q&A. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions about the stories and experienced shared. The goal is to create opportunities for self-reflection and begin viewing the experiences of service recipients from the perspective of TIC principles.

Service recipients can be any range of people including, but not limited to, customers, students, at-risk youth, and adult clients. Panel participants are chosen from within organizations that are local to the region where the seminar will be held. The panel is facilitated by Travis Lloyd.

Finding & Living Your Purpose

This is a 45-60 minute keynote OR a 60-90 minute workshop.

This presentation is designed as an interactive self-reflective workshop that walks attendees through a series of activities that focus on defining or re-defining your individual purpose statement. The session starts by hearing about Travis Lloyd’s personal experiences in struggling to find purpose and the steps he took to break through to a more fulfilling life. Mr. Lloyd then guides attendees through those steps. These steps include making sense of your past life experiences, understanding how key past moments impact your present life, and identifying your strengths, passions, and values to align with a bigger purpose in life. This is a process that can be replicated with youth and/or adults and is a practice that, if used at least yearly, can boost clarity of purpose and even job satisfaction and performance.

Your Story Matters Workshop (for child welfare/mental health)

In this Strategic Sharing Workshop you will explore the best practices for using your own personal story in a way that empowers you to create change in the world. Participants will have the opportunity to review the reasons why they want to share their personal experiences with others, how to do it in a safe way (avoid oversharing), and who to choose who to share your story with (not everyone deserves your life details). After learning the basics of using your story to impact change you’ll have the opportunity to map our your journey and practice what you’ve learned with the other workshop members (sharing in the workshop is not required).
