A long journey in the same direction.
From the ranch to athletics, higher education, and business, the work has remained the same: helping people develop what they've been given and put it to use.
Meet Tyler Fisher, Ed.D.
Tyler Fisher has spent his career helping people get more out of what they already have.
He grew up on a ranch, played Division I football at the University of Nebraska, and began his career as a strength and conditioning coach at Nebraska, Drake University, and TCU. His goal was straightforward: help athletes get every ounce of potential out of their physical abilities. But coaching taught him that developing people is about much more than physical ability. The goal was never just four years. It was forty.
While coaching at TCU, Tyler began graduate study in Educational Leadership and discovered that many of the lessons he had learned through ranching, athletics, coaching, and leading teams were the same principles at the heart of leadership development. After completing his master's degree, he entered TCU's doctoral program and, six months later, moved from athletics into the university's Leadership Center. He later earned his Ed.D. in Educational Leadership with his dissertation, How Leaders Make and Communicate Significant Decisions.
Tyler's work eventually expanded beyond higher education into business, including enterprise learning and development at American Airlines. Across each environment, he continued to see the same thing: people and organizations can possess tremendous talent without ever making full use of it.
In 2024, Tyler founded New Found Power to help change that. Today, he works with individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations to identify what is getting in the way, develop what is needed, and put more of what they already have to work.
Don't bury your talents.
Tyler believes one of the great losses in life and organizations is unrealized potential. When people fail to fully use their gifts, talents, skills, knowledge, and experience, value that could have benefited others never gets created.
New Found Power is rooted in Tyler's Christian faith and the belief that what we have been given is meant to be developed, put to work, and used in service of something beyond ourselves. The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 and the message of power, love, and self-discipline in 2 Timothy 1:7 helped shape both the purpose and name of New Found Power.
For Tyler, work is a good thing. It is one of the primary ways we use what we've been given to contribute and create value for our families, organizations, customers, and communities.
Tyler lives in Fort Worth with his wife of 20 years and their son. He remains passionate about health and human performance and practices jiu-jitsu, where he continues to learn familiar lessons about humility, problem-solving, continuous improvement, and performing under pressure.
