Our Story
It’s Time To Seek Tools From Experts
Personal resilience is a fundamental aspect of human experience, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with adaptability and strength. Nothing better illustrates this than the wild (we say "wyld") fig tree's root system. Known to have the deepest root structure of any species of tree, the wild fig's roots extend far and wide giving it the ability to withstand some of the harshest conditions on Earth. This root system exemplifies endurance and adaptability in the face of ever-changing environmental conditions like droughts or soil erosion by persistently seeking out resources, and often adjusting their growth patterns to optimize survival.
Personal resilience, comprised of mental fitness and emotional resilience, mirrors this endurance and adaptability in human experience. Individuals with high levels of personal resilience consistently demonstrate the capacity to bounce back from setbacks, learning and growing from their experiences rather than being overwhelmed by them. These deep root structures enable flexibility in their thinking and behavior, adapting to new challenges with a sense of optimism and determination.
Our courses, group coaching and the 1:1 coaching experience here at WyldFig offer the latest learning and methods for building personal resilience, delivered by certified experts in the field with over 40 years of combined experience creating deep root structures in clients.
Incorporating the leading practices of adult learning theory, WyldFig combines somatic, intellectual and emotional approaches for courses and participants learn independently through video lessons, beautiful mobile apps, and a comprehensive study guide and journal to enhance learning with group support.

Travis Thompson, Ph.D. Co-Founder of WyldFig®
I've spent the last 25 years of my career helping individuals, teams, and organizations achieve personal and professional goals. My expertise is assisting others to unlock the patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that improve their performance and well-being. In other words, I help people learn how to be successful and happy.
My education includes a BS in Computer Information Systems, an MBA with an emphasis on quality and process improvement, and a PhD in Psychology
specializing in industrial and organizational psychology. My educational background has allowed me to work with small businesses, academic institutions, and large corporations across multiple functional areas: volunteer organizations, sales, customer service, technology, manufacturing, call center operations, human resources, learning and development, and talent development.
Additionally, I am certified in a variety of tools/assessments, such as personality type assessments (MBTI), behavioral assessments (DISC and iConnect), emotional intelligence (EQi 2.0 and MSCEIT), thinking style (HBDI), leadership effectiveness (SLII, LBAII), learning architecture (Brinkerhoff), and process improvement (Six Sigma Blackbelt). Each of these frameworks has helped me better appreciate and value the uniqueness of every individual.
Outside of my professional life, I am a husband, a father of four (three girls and a boy), a musician, an athlete, a youth sports coach, an amateur cook, and a lifelong learner.
Jacque McCormack, MSLOD PCC
Co-Founder of WyldFig®
With almost fifteen years as a performance and ICF-certified executive coach and consultant, I bring extensive skill and experience to the development conversation from years of partnering with corporate and nonprofit executive leadership teams and successfully coaching high-performing individuals. I am passionate about bringing insight and practical application techniques into how our brains are wired to create patterns, how we can develop self-mastery to recreate those patterns, and ultimately guide clients to create personal resilience, emotional intelligence, and relationship building for lasting stability, strength, and peace. I possess specific performance development expertise through focused, deep coaching engagements, positive psychology, appreciative inquiry and cognitive coaching, behavior, value, and EQ analysis.
I graduated with a BS in Human Services in 2004 and completed my Master's in Leadership and Organizational Development at the University of Texas at Dallas. In addition, I received my executive coaching certification through the Jindall School of Executive Management, achieved the PCC designation from ICF, hold the esteemed TTI Success Insights certifications in DISC, Driving Forces & EQ, and am a certified MHS EQi 2.0 practitioner. I am also an active member of the International Coach Federation and Human Capital Institute and founder of Hudson Group Consulting, my private consulting practice.
When I’m not focused on developing clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband, three teenage sons, and my two very spoiled pugs. I spend a lot of time at football and baseball fields, and cherish every second of it. I also love to cook – trying Pinterest recipes on my unsuspecting family regularly, and try to escape to the beach as often as my busy schedule will allow.
