The HUMAN Framework
Consistency starts with being human.
We all want to trust ourselves. To show up focused, confident, and proud of how we perform in the moments that matter. But most people blame inconsistency on motivation or discipline.
The truth is simpler:
Inconsistency is not a motivation problem.
It’s an unmet needs problem.
The HUMAN Framework helps you understand those needs.
Take the HUMAN Assessment →The Five HUMAN Needs
Every human needs to feel…
H — Heard: Safe to express thoughts and feelings
U — Uplifted: Encouraged, seen, and valued
M — Meaningful: Connected to purpose and contribution
A — Autonomous: Free to choose and trusted to act
N — Nurtured: Supported physically and emotionally
When these needs are met → we show up grounded, focused, and fully ourselves.
When they’re not → we start coping.
The Five HUMAN Patterns
When a core need goes unmet, we default to one of five protective patterns:
Suppressor (Heard need unmet)
Holds emotions in, looks “fine,” but internalizes pressure
→ Struggles to speak up or reset under stress
Drifter (Uplifted need unmet)
Starts strong, loses steam, avoids follow-through
→ Needs encouragement, not criticism
Dimmer (Meaningful need unmet)
Plays smaller, hides ideas, skills, or ambition
→ Confidence depends on belonging
Rulekeeper (Autonomy need unmet)
All-or-nothing, rigid, self-critical
→ Burnout disguised as high standards
Hustler (Nurtured need unmet)
Pushes nonstop, productive but depleted
→ Most likely to hit a wall
These patterns are smart.
They’re how we protect ourselves when the world gets hard.
But they also get in the way of showing up consistently.
Why the HUMAN Pattern Assessment Matters
You can’t change what you can’t see.
The assessment helps you:
-
Understand what throws you off
-
Identify your go-to coping pattern
-
Learn how to reset quickly under pressure
-
Build consistent confidence without force or perfectionism
This is not a personality test.
It’s a needs and strategy assessment.
You won’t walk away with a label.
You’ll walk away with a playbook for showing up fully.
Where This Helps You
-
Competing under pressure
-
Communicating with people you care about
-
Focusing when stakes are high
-
Following through when motivation fades
-
Leading and collaborating with others
-
Parenting, partnering, performing: Anywhere life gets real
Because consistency is not just how we perform.
It’s how we experience ourselves.
What Happens After the Assessment?
You’ll get:
-
Your primary pattern + trigger profile
-
Simple reset tools to get grounded fast
-
Guidance on next steps based on your needs
From there, you can explore deeper support designed for your pattern. It all starts with clarity.
Ready to understand yourself better?
Take the HUMAN Pattern Assessment. The first step to consistent confidence.Because showing up the way you want… starts with knowing what you need.
What We Know From These Assessments So Far
-
Self-disconnection and judgment are statistically tied to Dimmer. People who feel disconnected from themselves or judged (internally or externally) score much higher on our Dimmer pattern. In other words, dimming isn’t random, it reliably shows up when you don’t feel safe to be fully yourself.
-
Rule Keeper is statistically tied to feeling pressured or rushed. The more people feel like there’s never enough time or they’re under constant expectations, the more they lean on rigid rules and “shoulds.”
-
Hustler is not the avoidant type. In this sample, people who avoid tasks when overwhelmed actually have significantly lower Hustler scores. Hustlers grind through; avoiders tend to be a different pattern.
-
Patterns cluster. Dimmer often co-occurs with Drifter, Hustler, and Rule Keeper. Hustler and Suppressor often travel together.
