Every coach hears the same complaint. "My people don't follow through."

Leaders know it. They just don't know how to fix it. That gap is your opportunity.

The Market Is Begging
for Someone to Fix This.

And most coaches show up with a poster, a workbook, and a pep talk. That's why their clients churn.

Frameworks Beat
Pep Talks. Every Time.

The research is settled. Teams that use a structured debrief framework outperform teams that don't. By a lot.

The US Air Force Debrief Sits Inside a Bigger System.

Most training programs treat the debrief as a stand-alone meeting. Cujo's framework treats it as the engine of a continuous learning loop. Intent. Plan. Brief. Execute. Debrief. Improve. Run the loop. Every time.

That's the difference between a workshop and a transformation.

Former USAF Weapons School Instructor

“The Air Force trusted me to standardize how it teaches accountability. Now I'm teaching coaches to teach it too.”

— Cujo Teschner, Col. USAF (Ret.)

Cujo Was the
US Air Force's
Subject Matter Expert
on Team Accountability.

Robert "Cujo" Teschner was a Core Debrief Instructor at the US Air Force Weapons School. That's the Top Gun of the Air Force.

In 2004, the USAF tasked him with standardizing the practice of accountability across every Air Force discipline. Fighters. Bombers. Helicopters. Space. Intel. Transport.

He wrote the paper. He wrote the course. He set the standard the entire force still uses.

In 2018, he turned that work into a #1 bestselling book, Debrief to Win. For the past 4.5 years, he's been teaching the same system to companies across North America through the Top Gun Teamwork program.

Result: a 7-figure consulting practice, 300+ companies served, and a waiting list of leaders who want more.

What, Exactly,
Are You Licensing?

Top Gun Teamwork is the 12-week virtual implementation program Cujo and his team currently sell to companies across North America. It turns the US Air Force’s accountability and debrief framework into something a civilian team can actually run—every week, in every meeting, on every project.

A live virtual Top Gun Teamwork cohort meeting on Zoom—diverse leaders learning the accountability framework from Cujo
Live — 100% Virtual

Cohort sessions delivered over Zoom — no travel required

01

12 weeks. 12 modules.

Weekly live sessions teach a complete accountability operating system—from setting clear standards and running effective debriefs to building a true high-performance culture.

02

100% virtual delivery.

Cujo and his team teach every cohort over Zoom. No flights. No hotel rooms. No scheduling nightmares. Your clients show up from anywhere—and so will theirs.

03

Two ways VMax sells it today.

Combined Cohorts (open enrollment, sold by the seat) and Custom Cohorts (single-company, lump-sum pricing). Both formats use the exact playbook you’re licensing.

04

You decide how to use it.

Certified Partners are NOT required to follow the VMax delivery model. Teach it virtually, in person, as a keynote add-on, as a multi-day workshop, or chunked into a coaching engagement—your call.

How VMax Sells It Today

Combined Cohorts

Open enrollment. Multiple companies, sold by the seat. Great for individual leaders who want exposure to the framework alongside peers from other organizations.

How VMax Sells It Today

Custom Cohorts

Single-company engagements. Lump-sum pricing. Built for executive teams that want their entire leadership group running on the same accountability operating system.

As a Certified Partner, you don’t have to do it the way we do. You get the full curriculum and the freedom to package, price, and deliver it however fits your business and your clients best.

Top Gun Teamwork
Works. Here's the Proof.

Top Gun Teamwork is a 12-week implementation program. Not a workshop. Not a keynote. An end-to-end transformation that turns a frustrated team into an accountable one.

About the Top Gun Teamwork Certified Partner Program

The Top Gun Teamwork Certified Partner Program is a license and certification program for independent leadership coaches, business consultants, and professional keynote speakers who want to deliver a proven accountability training program to their clients. The program is built on the after-action review and debrief methodology used by US Air Force fighter squadrons and standardized across the Air Force by Robert "Cujo" Teschner, former US Air Force Weapons School Instructor and #1 bestselling author of Debrief to Win.

Why license Top Gun Teamwork

Disengagement and lack of accountability cost organizations trillions of dollars every year. Most leadership coaching programs offer pep talks and posters. Top Gun Teamwork offers a research-backed framework: Intent, Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief, Improve. Meta-analyses by Tannenbaum and Cerasoli (2013) and follow-on research from Texas A&M and Rice University show that properly conducted debriefs improve team performance by 20 to 25 percent.

What the license includes

Founding-cohort partners receive the full Top Gun Teamwork curriculum (slide decks, video lessons, Facilitator's Guide, Participant's Guide), a seat in the live 12-week TGT cohort, weekly coaching calls with Cujo Teschner and the VMax Group team, access to the AI coaching tools Cujo built for his own practice, and founding-licensee status. The total stack value exceeds $30,000.

Who should apply

Independent executive coaches, leadership consultants, organizational development professionals, and keynote speakers who serve real clients today and want to add a premium accountability and teamwork program to their offer. The founding cohort is capped at 50 partners worldwide.
