"Our organization began working with the team at enSpirit just over a year ago. The work required to make an impact in an organization through this time of process is demanding, tiresome, and tedious. That being said, it is also very rewarding to those that commit to the process, and allow themselves to be vulnerable enough to acknowledge that the only thing that anyone can control is themselves. This type of work requires a knowledgeable and trustworthy strategic partner to help navigate through the material and various tollgates required for real progress. The enSpirit team delivers on all accounts. Thorough knowledge of the Tri-Metrix materials, management principles, and organizational behavior serve this group well.
The responsiveness and flexibility of the enSpirit team is world class. The foresight and ability to navigate through the process is critical. Your ability to lean on existing relationships and forge new ones serves you and your customer base well.
I have seen positive growth throughout the organization at various levels. Improved communication, more productive meetings, and the handling of adversity are just a few areas that our organization has made great strides.
From a personal standpoint, working with the enSpirit team, and Gwen, in particular, has salvaged my career and allowed me to realize that I have the ability to co-create the type of place I want to work in. Her coaching and availability have helped me handle adversity from various levels (both in and outside of work.)"

"Gwen came into my life 30 years ago, during a difficult and challenging time, when I had little or no tools to deal with challenges. I truly didn’t understand the process of chaos. Throughout the next 30 years, enSpirit, llc. came to full fruition. With that, I also evolved. I utilized the enSpirit, llc. services at different points over the past 30 years. With all of the different groups, programs, opportunities, and meetings, I came to develop my personal and career life. I learned how to walk through fear, establish my personal self-esteem, grow a company, and most importantly, how to respond effectively….to become a person that I can look at in the mirror each and every day. Today, I am a confident, successful, honest businesswoman with a host of friends and family that I respect and who respect me as well. I am truly grateful for the day I walked into Gwen’s office, for the courage to keep walking through all facets of life, using the tools that I have learned and for enSpirit, llc.…for always being there for me."

“We had the opportunity to meet Gwen my second year in business. I knew how I wanted the company to operate, knew I wanted to be a leader, not a "boss." What I didn’t know was how I was going to get a team I adopted and a company to shift into one of serving leadership. What we learned as a team, about each other, our clients and community - and being able to articulate what it looks like to be our idea of success - was not only teachable, it is also sustainable. We have had the opportunity, through the work we have done and continue to do within Gwen's model (the enSpirit, llc. Business Framework), to take a good company to an amazing group of individuals working as a high functioning team to meet the needs of our community and clients. It's not just the words we use, it's also the power behind creating our heaven on earth and bringing that into the sphere of profitability in a way that also proves to be of service in the area we work. Our reach has become greater, our commitment stronger and our focus is laser sharp. There is heavy lifting and hard work that needs to be done on the outset and then it needs to be lived. What we have learned stays alive through constantly bringing our focus back to why we do what we do. Raise the bar, blaze the trail, be the change you want to see. It has taken us beyond where I thought we would be - we have shattered our own glass ceilings. And we thank Gwen for getting us started, staying with us through our challenges, and encouraging us to continue on the path we set out for ourselves.”

“Working with enSpirit, llc. has introduced us to a new mindset allowing us to evolve into a high functioning company. Over the past years our company has grown and expanded at a rapid rate. Our communication and teamwork began to break down. Through Gwen’s coaching and the TriMetrix profile process we have learned to effectively communicate with all personality styles. It has brought awareness to our strengths & weakness driving us to thrive as a team. enSpirit, llc. has helped us create a more accepting, positive, healthier, and productive environment. The true gift from the enSpirit, llc. team & Gwen, besides her contagious passion for life, is how their unique process enriches both your professional and personal life. This truly has been the most enlightening, yet humbling experience. It’s a game changer!”

"As both a Xerox manager and entrepreneur running my own business, I lead a busy life with a unique set of challenges. The ability to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing work environment is critical to my ongoing success. Gwen Mazza, the CEO of enSpirit, llc., recently helped me meet this challenge by taking me through the “DISC Success Discovery Process”. I was familiar with DISC; primarily as a tool used by organizational development “trainers” to provide feedback on communication styles. However, it was the unique approach of enSpirit, llc. that made the difference and allowed me to gain a greater appreciation of what DISC can truly do for a person when it is combined with effective coaching and analysis of its output.
While working with Gwen, I identified the changes I can make to my work and communication style and was provided ideas for doing so. These will allow me to be more effective in my professional and personal relationships. Working with enSpirit, llc. is a pleasure, and I gained a friend, trusted advisor, and coach in Gwen. The coaches at enSpirit, llc. surely know how to apply DISC to the benefit of their clients, and I am pleased to write this testimonial for Gwen Mazza and enSpirit, llc."

"enSpirit, llc. has helped our office develop into a more harmonious group. We are working as a team and have realized through the DISC Process that we are all special individuals who each have an important place in the office. Our working environment is now a happier and less stressful place to grow and achieve our goals."
Suzanne Cassata, D.D.S.
“I retained enSpirit, llc. to assist in coaching my team, and myself, in order to increase our communication and work more effectively together. The insights and guidance that Gwen and her team provided helped us overcome serious challenges in our group dynamic. We identified ways to increase communication effectiveness. And, possibly, more importantly, I began to identify aspects of my communication style that were actually destructive to team relationships.
As a result of the coaching and training we received from enSpirit, llc., we became a much happier and more productive team. I heartily recommend enSpirit, llc. to leaders who are interested in improving the effectiveness of their teams.”
Steve Wershing, CFP
"Originally, I was a bit skeptical about working with enSpirit, llc.. My business associate engaged enSpirit, llc. to help reduce the number of hours being worked. During our first office team meeting, I immediately saw the value of working with Gwen Mazza and her company. I find tremendous benefit in the work Gwen does, not only with the principal business partners but also with the staff.
The process helps bring laser-like focus to our business' future, growth, and leadership, as well as helping us implement more effective communication styles with each other and our clients. The tools and techniques enSpirit, llc. helps us implement have had a positive effect on the health and wealth of the business, team members, and our bottom line. I would highly recommend working with Gwen and the enSpirit, llc. team!"

"Gwen has a dynamic way of helping me approach all that I do - in my work and at home - in a way that lets the world see my best self. Learning to better understand myself and others - through both thoughts and feelings - has been a critical component of my work with Gwen. This learning has helped me build stronger relationships by honoring others, effectively resolving conflicts, and allowing others to be their best selves. Gwen models and teaches a connected, authentic, full-spirited way of engaging with this gift called life! I'm grateful to have Gwen in my inner circle."
