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. From Ph.D.s to Navy SEAL Officers, our team of elite trainers and coaches is committed to transforming your staff into a focused, results-driven team of leaders by helping people gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve goals and unlock potential.

Our coaches are equipped and prepared to help you forge a shared mission for your team that accelerates teamwork toward goals. Through structured programming, we’ll share the crucial core tenets of superior performance and inspire individuals to take action. Our team provides a number of services to help you achieve personal and team success.

Today’s global business environment requires flexibility of practices and agility of strategies. That’s where our virtual services can make a difference for the personal and professional development of your team members. Each of our services — leadership and executive performance training, executive performance coaching, and keynote addresses — are available through a powerful online delivery platform.

At Team Performance Institute, we’re equipped with the best tools and technology to assess leaders and teams, evaluate opportunities for growth, and lay the foundation for more purposeful and impactful career journeys.

If you’re ready to take your team to its highest level of performance, schedule a call with us today. We want to hear about the unique challenges and goals your team is facing, and we want to share with you how we can help you get there.

Eric Hutto
President & Chief Operating Officer, Unisys


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.
