About Team
Performance Institute
You have a vision in mind for your team. A vision of achieving goals through elite performance. This vision requires transformation of character, of heart, of skill and of focus. Unfortunately, you don’t know exactly how to get your team members to victory. You can’t quite put your finger on what the barriers are to your team’s performance, and you feel ill-equipped and overwhelmed at facilitating a training program.
That’s where Team Performance Institute (TPI) comes in.
TPI understands that the process of individual and team transformation includes challenges and obstacles. These challenges and obstacles may seem difficult to define, or even obscure. But we know those challenges firsthand. We’ve defined those challenges. And we can help you overcome them, get past them, and achieve the next level of success for your team. It’s by persevering through change and winning the challenge that elite teams are formed.
Founded by Jon Sanchez in 2014, we draw on the diverse military and business backgrounds of our executive performance coaching team members to effect positive change in Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 organizations.

If Your Team Feels Defensive, Check The ‘Why’ You Led With

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.
