“Our leadership team is coping with a considerable workload and challenges with staff recruitment and retention, as I am sure is not unusual. Many members of our leadership team are fairly new to being in a leadership position. Tessa’s guidance on Emotional Intelligence, Stress Relief, personal and professional development as well as how to take better care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually provided excellent support for our leadership team. After the event, I received very positive feedback from attendees of the event. I was very grateful for her participation in our leadership support event.”

“We invited Tessa to facilitate a session during our Company offsite and it was the right decision to take. It has made a very positive impact on our team. Tessa was able to reconcile the very aspirational goals that we all have as an individual and as a human group into some very down to earth but yet, extremely solid, advises. One thing that I have particularly appreciated is that Tessa took the time to understand our company values and did tailor her recommendations to who we are. The workshops that she organized, further enhanced her teaching and contributed to engrain it into a very valuable take away for the participants. I would highly recommend Tessa as a coach and facilitator.”

Matt Feiner – President & CEO, SG Companies
“We’re a global IT company, and when the pandemic hit in March, we like many others went fully remote. After a few months, we started to see the additional stress the new environment was causing since so many were dealing with dependent needs, new ways of working and going to school, and in some cases, personal loss, illness or feelings of loneliness and isolation. Tessa took the entire company through a great virtual session where she shared some easy and helpful stress reduction techniques as well as sharing some of her own stories to help everyone deal with the stress of the pandemic. I received a lot of emails expressing appreciation for the session as everyone found it very helpful and enlightening.”
Meredith Graham – SVP, Culture and People Experience, Ensono
“Our clients spend precious little time thinking about their personal well-being, let alone taking action to improve it. Tessa’s talk delivered both the art and the science of self-care, making a compelling case for why being mindful helps us take better care of others and providing actionable exercises for seamlessly working it into our days. I was curious how it would translate virtually but it was beautiful—many relayed watching the replay multiple times!”

“Working with Tessa and Triessence is always a success, but during 2020, it’s been a God-send to our clients. Her presence alone is enough to calm even the most highly intense person. The way she works to understand each client’s pain points and needs, then shares her knowledge and experiences in the most honest and open way is life-changing (even for us planners). Incomparable is her coaching ability to read the audience, challenge them, hold them accountable, allow them to open up and teach them processes to keep them successful in the future. She has mastered being virtually just as organized, engaging and magnetic as she is in-person, which is a mastery in itself. We are so grateful to have this “gift” to offer our clients. We understand that if one’s Triessence is more balanced, they will undeniably more motivated, productive and overall healthy.”

Over the course of the morning we learned how to better manage the stress that comes with our jobs and how to use personal development techniques to perform more effectively at work and at home. Tessa helped us uncover blindspots and identify the best ways to care for ourselves. And the team found her warm yet professional style engaging and supportive.

She did a fantastic job of tying her expertise to the theme of the event which was titled “Your Brand. It’s Personal.” Tessa shared very helpful and thought-provoking information about how our inner well-being plays a role in the way that we brand ourselves in our careers and life in general. The interactivity of her presentation kept attendees engaged in the subject matter. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about how to take good better care of ourselves. Thank you Tessa. Well done!”

“As the chair of the IASB Annual Meeting for 2015 in New Orleans, we had a unique challenge to help our attendees find new and unique ways to evolve the way they do business every day. Bringing in Tessa Todd Morgan to conduct her Reset Breaks, interspersed throughout our conference, were integral to the success of that learning process. Not only did the breaks help us to think about the stress and tension in our everyday (and conference) work habits in a new way, but they helped us keep our learning quotients high and our minds open and receptive to all the new materials we were being presented with. I highly recommend Tessa’s programs, particularly if you have content rich programs and highly driven audiences.”
Lisa Carnemolla Comerford – 2015 IASB Convention Committee Chair

She has given me suggestions that gave me the challenge to change the direction of my life. My life is so much richer by knowing Tessa and her coaching. She is very real and down to earth. I love and respect her so very much. Tessa also does workshops…if you have the opportunity plan to attend. You will leave a changed person with many new ideas to put in motion. I’m living proof!”
Becky Wafer – Irving, TX
“Tessa was Such a perfectly timed gift in my life during a period of major transition. I had moved from California to Texas. I was revisiting a ten year past relationship and was considering a career change in the midst of it all… That’s how I roll:)
Had it not been for her expertise in emotional intelligence training, along with her calm and warm demeanor, I would have been a mess. Tessa helped guide me in very practical and applicable ways. She is a master at staying neutral and allowing you to reflect on your own choices, while gently nudging you toward positive, attainable goals. I felt so supported and yet completely in control of how I wanted to work through the challenges and exciting opportunities that were coming my way all at once.
I can’t urge you enough to contact her if you’re feeling like you’re needing some direction/ nourishment/ positivity/ balance/ accountability/ compassion… I am so glad I reached out and found her:)”
Jessica Russo – Santa Cruz, CA
“Triessence has been such a blessing in my life. From helping me sort out my overall thoughts, strengths and weaknesses to challenging me to dream again about my today and tomorrow…I have found so much inner strength both mentally and spiritually. After being a stay-at-home mother for a few years, I was lost and didn’t know where to start in my journey of balance, working again and finding happinesses. I now have a better sense of clarity and self-awareness, therefore I’ve been a better mother, wife, friend and entrepreneur. Thanks, Tessa. You are truly a God-send.”

I feel like I am right where I am suppose to be and moving forward with each session.”
Hal Samples – Photographer/Filmmaker
“My coaching experience with Tessa has been very exciting. I wasn’t sure what I expected, but can honestly say I am more than pleasantly surprised with the results after just 10 sessions. She is a knowledgeable, calming guide with an amazing ability to listen and formulate questions that have guided me through a beautiful process and helped me unravel the issues in my life that have been a burden to me. She has helped me shift my thinking and realize so many of my concerns can be changed by choice and has helped me move towards positive change in my life. With her support and guidance I was also able to overcome some fears, one of which resulted in a long, overdue and substantial raise. I feel blessed to have this opportunity and recommend this type of coaching to anyone that is hesitant to enter into therapy and wants a more personal, self-growth option to resolving their issues or reaching goals. I highly recommend it! I am grateful for her guidance and happy about where I am in my life today, as a result.”

“Tessa Todd Morgan has a quiet power that owns a room before she speaks her first word.”
John Doan – CEO, On the Threshold
“I have known Tessa as a friend and client since 2008. Tessa has been an inspiration to me and to my clients in her courage to face what life presents and use those circumstances to go deep into self-reflection and not stop until something powerful is illuminated, with new learnings and new practices put in place to “keep the course”.
This is how I have watched her grow and expand into a unique blend of heart, integrity and authenticity – whatever Tessa chooses to take on, she brings herself fully to her commitment working out any differences in real partnership!
I personally know that you can never ask a client to go somewhere in their development you haven’t been willing to go yourself. Because Tessa courageously opens herself to that kind of learning and uses what she has experienced and learned to contribute to others, I would trust her to coach me! I rarely have said that in my life!
Tessa has an eye for the integrity of ‘what works’ and creatively invents new structures (methods, processes, steps) to generate pathways towards achieving objectives and having people be taken care of. Tessa has a strong, unwavering commitment to having people live their lives to their fullest potential.”
