THE UPGRADE COACH
Upgrade Peak Performance, Leadership, Mindset, Business, Career, Success and Happiness
"We all need a little Tony Schmaltz on our shoulder."
— Mark Lubragge,
Gurus & Game Changers Podcast
Tony Schmaltz has spent over two decades doing something most coaches won't — telling leaders the truth about why their teams aren't performing.
Not the comfortable truth. The actual truth.
As a Quality Assurance leader in aerospace manufacturing for 25+ years, Tony built high-performance teams in environments where precision, accountability, and results weren't optional — they were survival. He took those same principles and built The Powerful Leader Framework — a system now delivered to corporate teams, executives, and organizations including Amazon.com.
His style is direct, grounded, and occasionally funny. He will call you out. He will hand you a clear action plan. And he will not waste your time.

The No-Nonsense Coach Who Gets Results
Tony’s approach is simple: get real, get moving, and get results. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just straight-up strategies that work. His coaching is a mix of hard-hitting truth, deep personal transformation, and just the right amount of humor to make the process enjoyable. His core teachings include:
◾️Being an Owner, Not a Victim
– Life isn’t happening to you, it’s happening because of you. Own it.
◾️Stop Being a People Pleaser
– Say no more often. Set boundaries. Watch your life transform.
◾️Unbreakable Habits & Self-Discipline – Success isn’t magic. It’s a system, and he’ll help you master it.
◾️Time Management & Focus – Cut the distractions, maximize your impact, and get your time back.
◾️Finding True Success & Happiness
– Because money and titles mean nothing if you’re miserable.
Over the last five years, Tony has invested over $250,000 in personal and professional development, learning from the best so he can coach at the highest level. His style?
Calmly and politely… telling you exactly how it is.

Life Coach and Yoga Master Trainer
Tony’s leadership journey started more than 25 years ago in the manufacturing world. He climbed the ranks, leading teams and helping businesses grow—but corporate success wasn’t enough. He wanted to
transform lives, not just bottom lines. That’s why he built his coaching business: to take high performers from good to unstoppable.
He’s helped CEOs, founders, and everyday action-takers crush self-doubt, eliminate excuses, and create the habits, mindset, and strategies that lead to massive success.

More Than Just a Coach – A Family Man Who Walks the Talk
Success means nothing if you’re failing at home. That’s why Tony puts family first —always. He and his wife, Anika, have been building a life together for over 22 years, raising their son Markus, their daughter Melinda and their nieces, Stephenny and Tiffany (Not pictured here).
Through
every challenge, setback, and adversity, the Schmaltz family has stuck together, proving that resilience isn’t just something Tony teaches—it’s something he lives.
You Have To Live Life TOO!
When he’s not coaching and serving, you’ll find him at the archery range with Markus, fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, helping Anika with her tropical plants or spending quality time with his family.
