People see you as strong, driven and determined. You’re the one who shows up, does the hard thing and doesn’t quit. Clients come to you when they need someone in their corner.

What you want most

To prove what’s possible, and to help others win their battles.

Your highest value

Courage. You face hard things head-on and make others braver just by being near you.

Who you draw in

People facing a big goal or a hard season who want a coach in their corner.

Your muses

The goddesses and heroines who share this energy

Mulan

Chinese legend

The heroine of an old ballad who took her father’s place in the army and served with courage for twelve years.

Boudicca

Celtic Britain

Queen of the Iceni, who led her people in an uprising against Rome around 60 CE.

Joan of Arc

France, 1400s

A farm girl who led armies at seventeen, followed her convictions to the end and is honored today as a saint.

Our muses come from ancient myths, living faiths and history. Some are still honored and prayed to today. We share them with respect, as sources of inspiration, and never as a claim on anyone’s tradition.

Your voice

How you sound

Direct, energetic and motivating. Action words, short sentences and a clear call to move.

You’re stronger than you think. Let’s go get it.

Do

  • Name the challenge plainly
  • Celebrate wins, big and small
  • End with one clear action

Try not to

  • Shame people for going slow
  • Make everything a crisis
  • Forget to show your softer side

Your look

How it feels to see

Colors

Strong red, deep navy, charcoal and one bright accent.

Imagery

Movement, mountains, strong postures, people mid-effort and finish lines.

Type

A bold, strong sans for headings with a sturdy, clear body font.

Your shadow

The Burnout

Under stress, the Warrior can push too hard, treat rest as weakness or turn every challenge into a fight.

How to work with it. Choose your battles. Rest is part of the training.

What to create

Content that fits you

  • Challenges and sprints that get your audience moving
  • Stories of the obstacles you and your clients beat
  • Pep talks for the days people want to quit
