i am the tactician
You are…
the tactician
You’re analytical, tend to offer up information or problem-solving, and you often speak in more clinical or technical language. You might be a health coach, business strategist, nutritionist, or naturopath.
You're the go-to expert but struggle to add connection to your messaging.
about your
messenger archetype
Superpower
People count on you to educate and diagnose them, and you’re seen as intelligent and trustworthy.
Shadow Side
You fear discrediting yourself or backlash from others in your industry if you share personal opinions. You have a hard time helping people make that emotional connection to really invest in themselves. What you’re saying often comes across as dry. You get lost in the crowd because you’re sharing information instead of a passion or unique perspective.
Inner Conflict
"My go-to is to explain the details of my work, and I can be overly serious, getting stuck in facts. I know so much that I struggle to take my expert hat off and see what they’re thinking.”
When Your Messaging Feels Messy:
It’s sterile and lacks connection and emotional resonance. Most of your content is tactical and your personality and perspective are missing which translates into clients price-shopping because there’s nothing to set you apart from every other professional out there.
When Your Messaging is CLEAR:
You’re seen as an expert AND people also feel connected to you. You’re no longer a number. Your people pay more to work with you and will only settle for you.

I’m Adria Sophia
(she/her), shy TEDx speaker, neurodivergent podcaster, great-granddaughter of Sophie & Antonia and mentor to quiet leaders.
I developed the five Messenger Archetypes based on what I’ve observed supporting hundreds of introverted coaches & sensitive leaders to clarify their brand messaging.
I’m also a semi-nomadic dogmom to Lexi the Doberman who loves to be out in the middle of nowhere with my family in our campervan.
As host of the Quiet Messenger Podcast (7 years & counting!), and leader of cozy, intimate Messenger Masterminds, I'm here to help you refine your next true message, reconnect with your people & realign who you are now with how you’re showing up so you step into your next level of impact.
