Developing elite teams of leaders who are prepared to overcome change and take on every challenge

At Team Performance Institute we know that people can rise to a challenge, and leaders can draw inspiration from change. To make that happen, you need a clear path forward and the ability to adapt. The problem is company progress will slow or even stop if you can't inspire and coach your people to a greater performance. Change can be unsettling, resulting in missed opportunities and diminished growth. We believe you need the right partner to help transform your people into an elite team.

Trusted by the World’s Best

I highly recommend Team Performance Institute to any organization facing challenges… Amazing Impact! One of the best decisions we could have made.

Eric Hutto
Chief Executive Officer, Diversified

I can’t offer high enough praise for Jon – from his service as a Navy SEAL to the corporate board room, Jon is a proven team-builder. I know from personal experience though partnering with Jon that he inspires the best in others in driving individual and team performance. He epitomizes leadership, teamwork, and values.

General Stanley McChrystal
Retired U.S. Army General, JSOC

One of the most insightful and moving conversations I’ve ever had. The entire leadership team walked away with a feeling of “we can do this. TOGETHER!” It was relevant to our business and to our brand and left an impact on all of us. Leading through change is an evolution; not a revolution.

Deb Radcliff
Chief Marketing Officer, 5.11 Tactical

My team has been moved to action. The credentials of TPI’s coaches read like a who’s who of impressive life achievements – from military special operations to PhDs. More importantly, they reinforced the intrinsic values we highly regard in our leadership team. Not only is my team more driven to improve their organizational performance, but they’re more empowered in their personal lives as well.

Ray Lipsky
Senior Vice President, Dell Technologies

Mr. Sanchez was a wonderful change in pace and a powerful reminder on teamwork, initiative, and communication…I am so grateful to be a part of an organization that invests in me as much as I invest in it.

Francesca Fenili
Sr. Account Executive, Media Sales at T-Mobile

Jon is a world class communicator who approaches every task with a passion that is rarely seen. We were thrilled to have him as keynote at our annual conference. He is truly a reflection of the core American values of inspiration, leadership and dedication.

Steve Wanamacher
CEO, CDO Magazine

To say this was a game changer for me would be an understatement, this was a life changer.

Jeff Edwards
Partner Director, Sales | Service Provider, Cisco

I really enjoyed Jon’s presentation and the following resonated with me: Battlefield Expectations – Always improve your fighting position: Continue to learn & grow with the YuMe offerings Exploit all technical and tactical advantages: Discuss YuMe advantages and why we’re #1 with our agencies and clients Push situational awareness up and down the chain: Stay close to management and internal teams and help them understand your challenges In the absence of orders, take charge & lead: Own your business. Step up and be a leader even when you’re not asked to.

    You Can Be Kind and Direct. Here’s How…

    Article Excerpt

    A lot of people think they have to choose: be kind or be direct. If you’re direct, you risk sounding harsh. If you’re kind, you risk sounding vague. But the truth is – you can be both, and it’s one of the clearest signals of leadership maturity. Kindness isn’t avoiding hard truths. Kindness is delivering … Continued

    Confidence Isn’t a Feeling

    Article Excerpt

    Most people think confidence is something you have. A feeling that shows up when you’re ready, certain, and in control. But if you’ve ever walked into a meeting with shaky nerves and still performed well, you already know the truth: Confidence isn’t a feeling. It’s a behavior people can predict. Why This Matters Feelings fluctuate. … Continued

    “If You’re Not Being Heard in Meetings, It’s Usually One of These Three Things”

    Article Excerpt

    If you’re not being heard in meetings, it’s tempting to assume it’s politics, personality, or that the room just doesn’t respect you. Sometimes that’s true. But most of the time, it’s simple and fixable. When people consistently miss or dismiss your point, it’s usually one of three things: 1) Your Message Doesn’t Land Fast Enough … Continued

    Executive Presence Isn’t Personality

    Article Excerpt

    Executive presence gets misunderstood as “the loudest voice” or “the most charismatic person in the room.” But real executive presence isn’t personality, it’s predictability under pressure – that steady reliability people feel when the stakes rise and the heat is turned up. When pressure hits, most workplaces don’t actually need more flair, they need less … Continued

    Technical expertise and strategic thinking might get you into leadership, but emotional intelligence determines whether you succeed once you’re there. Leaders with high emotional intelligence build stronger teams, navigate conflict more effectively, and create cultures where people do their best work.

    Executive Presence: Why Some Leaders Command the Room (And Others Don’t)

    Article Excerpt

    Walk into any boardroom, town hall, or team meeting, and you can spot it immediately. Some leaders step into a space and the energy shifts. People lean in. Conversations pause. Attention focuses. It’s not about volume or bravado. It’s something more subtle, more authentic. That’s executive presence, and it’s one of the most misunderstood aspects … Continued

    Finding Your Purpose: How to Rally Your Team Around a Common Drive

    Article Excerpt

    Every high-performing team has one thing in common. They know why they exist. Not just what they do or how they do it, but why it matters. That sense of purpose becomes the fuel that powers through challenges, aligns decisions, and turns a group of individuals into a unified force. Without it, you’re managing tasks. … Continued

    From Potential to Performance: Unlocking Talent Development

    Growing your people isn’t optional if you want to keep them. Some leaders think talent development is about checking boxes on a performance review or sending your team to a generic training session once a year. But that’s not it at all. It’s really about creating an environment where people can stretch beyond what they … Continued
