Mental Performance Coach, Elite Performance Strategist & Bestselling Author
Jean François Ménard Biography
Jean François Ménard is one of Canada’s most sought-after mental performance coaches, renowned for helping elite performers thrive under pressure and deliver consistent results when it matters most. Early in his career, while completing a PhD in Sports Psychology at the University of Ottawa, Ménard took an unconventional leap—he joined the world-famous Cirque du Soleil. There, he coached acrobats, contortionists, jugglers, and clowns to master the mental skills needed to perform at their best as many as 450 times per year.
Following five years with Cirque du Soleil, he founded Kambio Performance, a boutique firm specializing in mental training and leadership coaching. His client list includes Olympic champions such as Scott Moir, Tessa Virtue, Mikael Kingsbury, Damian Warner, and Derek Drouin; Super Bowl champion Laurent Duvernay-Tardif; and X Games phenom Max Parrot. His athletes have won 18 medals over the past five Olympic Games.
Ménard’s expertise is also trusted by top-tier professionals outside of sport, such as surgeons, pop stars, law enforcement professionals, poker players, business leaders, and professional sports teams—most notably, the Montreal Canadiens. He is the bestselling author of "Train Your Brain Like an Olympian" and "Team Chemistry," a regular media contributor, and an internationally respected keynote speaker.
His speaking clients include top-performing organizations such as NASA, the FBI, Red Bull, Cisco, PepsiCo, RBC, the Toronto Blue Jays, and Novartis.

Train Your Brain Like an Olympian
Use the same methods as the best in the world to achieve what you set out to do:
- Maintain focus in a distracted workplace
- Make confident decisions under pressure
- Have mental agility to manage change
- Be resilient in stressful conditions
- Bounce back strong from setbacks
- Create a winning mindset
- Dream big to deliver big
Olympic athletes deal with tons of distraction. They’re great at managing stress and have loads of self-confidence. It’s all essential to reach the podium. In today’s workplace, the demands are the same. The pressure to be on the mark is constant and mental toughness is no longer just an asset. It’s an absolute necessity. The good news? You now have access to the same mental-toughness tools as the best performers in the world.
-
Build Team Chemistry
Tap into the power of a positive culture, especially when stakes are high:
- Establish strong team values
- Collaborate with purpose
- Develop a unique team brand
- Make safety and inclusion matter
- Provide appropriate feedback
- Manage critical situations
- Form robust cohesion
There is an adage which states: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Winning teams get this. They play well as a ‘together’. But creating a successful ‘team’ is more than picking the best players. A winning culture comes from thought-out strategies which foster efficient group dynamics and help individuals ‘gel’ as a group. What do you get in return? High-performing habits and behaviors. This kind of competitive edge is essential for any winning business too. Now’s the time to take advantage.
