Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: You have an interesting name for a business. What’s the “Spirit” thing?
A: Well, we have the courage to use the word “spirit” because we believe in the human spirit. Like any other business, enSpirit, llc. is made up of human beings. The team of enSpirit, llc. wants to make a positive difference in the world and would like to help others do the same. We believe we can accomplish together what we cannot accomplish alone, and that the power of the human spirit transcends all limitations and enables us to live our dreams and attain our highest potential.
Q: How is enSpirit, llc. different from other coaching and consulting organizations?
A: We believe that much of the difference between enSpirit, llc. and other coaching and consulting organizations is that many of our coaches come from clinical backgrounds and are able to very effectively facilitate and guide the coaching process with skill and comfort. All coaches with clinical backgrounds have extensive experience in group facilitation, which is very beneficial when working directly with teams.
Q: What is Coaching?
A: Coaching is “The Process of Creation”…in coaching, a partnership is formed in which the goal is to guide individuals and teams through a process of introspection and insight. Clients will discover their passions and talents, while learning how to minimize or eliminate internal and external barriers that may be blocking their ability to work to their fullest potential. Individuals and teams will gain knowledge and tools that will assist in clarifying goals and enhancing their skill, resources, and creativity.
Q: How do I know if you are the right company for me or my organization?
A: We won’t know until we have a conversation. We firmly believe in making certain that our organization is the best fit for those who come before us. We customize much of our work to fit the specific needs of each client. Your first meeting with one of our coaches is complimentary and consists of much exploration and assessment. We want to be sure that the relationship is going to be one that results in achieving the clients’ goals. If we decide that we are not the best fit for you or your organization, we will help you determine where you may seek appropriate services.
Q: What is DISC and The Success Discovery Process?
A: DISC is a behavioral profiling tool utilized as a management, communication enhancement, team building, and position benchmarking profile. It is a process by which a behavioral analysis tool is merged with a self discovery process, resulting in a “doorway” of communication. This decreases judgment and increases value. DISC is an effective and proven means of assisting individuals and teams in gaining self-awareness pertaining to the “how” of communication, and it promotes wellness and cohesiveness among all team members.
-The Success Discovery Process is actually a system of three tools: DISC, PIAV, and TriMetrix TM, developed by TTI International, Ltd. and offered through enSpirit, llc. as a licensed distributor.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: The cost is calculated by the services that you need. Prior to moving forward with any work, you will be presented with a proposal detailing the cost and services you will receive.
Q: How long will the process take?
A: Because individual and organizational needs are different, the timeframe involved in the coaching, consulting, or development process will vary. As our guarantee states, “We stay with you through the identification, implementation, and achievement of your goals and objectives.” Because of the expansiveness of our services, we maintain long lasting relationships with our clients, assisting them with various needs throughout their own personal or organizational evolution.
Q: Who are the coaches and what are their areas of expertise?
A: Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds, including clinical and behavioral health and corporate careers in management, sales, marketing, human resources, and business development. Many of our coaches are currently on staff with area colleges teaching in the areas of leadership development, communications, and stress management.

A: Trimetrix is TTI’s premier product, which combines DISC and PIAV to assist organizations and leadership teams in benchmarking, talent selection, and performance management.
