The Superpower of Trust and Stability
Before diving into this superpower, it’s important to clarify what you’re working on: your personal brand or a business brand. If it’s a business brand, the superpower your brand embodies should be determined strategically—not based on personality alone. This isn’t a horoscope where you’re “born” into a category. We create brands. We decide how they should show up based on positioning strategy to attract the ideal audience and stand out from the competition.
Should the personality of the owner or founder play a role? Yes, but it’s not the main ingredient in branding. Keep the brand you’re working on in mind when taking the superpower quiz and applying these insights: Is this actually what your audience wants and needs? Does it differentiate you in your market?
What Providing Structure means
In a world full of noise and uncertainty, some brands don’t chase trends or disrupt industries—they provide structure, stability, and clarity. If your brand’s superpower is Providing Structure, you’re a brand that customers turn to for guidance, consistency, and trust. This superpower is embodied by three brand archetypes: Sage, Ruler, and Innocent.
Brands with this superpower excel at bringing order to chaos, offering clear direction, and establishing credibility in their industries. Their strengths lie in their reliability, authority, and ability to create systems that customers can depend on. However, they can sometimes struggle with being seen as too rigid, overly serious, or lacking innovation.
Strengths:
- Trust and Authority – Customers see you as a dependable expert.
- Consistency and Stability – Your brand provides a sense of security in an ever-changing world.
- Clear Guidance – You offer step-by-step solutions that make people’s lives easier.
Weaknesses:
- Risk of Rigidity – Being too structured can make the brand feel inflexible or outdated.
- Perceived Formality – Over-emphasis on authority can make the brand feel unapproachable.
- Lack of Emotional Connection – Customers may see the brand as logical but not always engaging.
Brand Goal
To establish a brand that people trust, respect, and rely on while maintaining accessibility and warmth.
Brands that fall into the Providing Structure superpower are seen as reliable, trustworthy, and often authoritative in their space. Your role isn’t necessarily to entertain or inspire radical change—instead, you bring order to chaos, offering customers a sense of security and a clear path forward.
This superpower often shows up in brands that:
- Offer expertise and knowledge (like universities, financial institutions, or thought leaders)
- Establish and enforce systems (such as project management software or regulatory agencies)
- Promise simplicity and peace of mind (think of brands that create stress-free experiences or provide timeless wisdom)
Customers come to these brands when they want to feel safe, informed, in control, or they just want answers when digging for the truth.
Case Studies of Structure-Driven Chiropractic Brands
To illustrate how this plays out in real-world branding, here are examples from my own clients who embody this superpower.
Example 1: Forza Chiropractic
Forza is Italian for strength or power.
Logo: The Forza logo reminds of fancy Italian restaurants and is based on the owner’s very strong Italian roots – and those core values of service, family and tradition run deep and shine through in the way he does business, runs his practice and serves his patients.
Color Palette: Dark gray, navy, and white to emphasize strength, sophistication and premium service.
Messaging: “Built on Service. Driven by Excellence. Measured in Results.”
Brand Execution: Exclusive look and feel, a high-end office aesthetic, and service that goes beyond what’s expected. (Dr. Voelsch told me once that he changed a patient’s tire outside his practice because she needed help.)
Example 2: Choice Chiropractic
Logo: Succulents, with their enduring resilience and ability to thrive in the harshest conditions, symbolize the strength we all carry within us. They teach us that even in life’s most challenging moments, we have the power to endure, grow, and emerge stronger.
Color Palette: Dirt and denim with a touch of terracotta.
Messaging: “Health from within”
Brand Execution: Simplicity, warmth, guidance. Dr. Jill is a down-to-earth specialist helping kids with neurodevelopmental challenges, and women who struggle with mental health problems.
Practical Ways to Leverage This Superpower
If your brand falls into the Providing Structure category, here’s how you can apply this superpower effectively:
Clarify Your Expertise
Whether through educational content, in-depth guides, or transparent policies, establish yourself as a reliable source of information.
Action step: Create a resource hub, FAQ page, or knowledge center to reinforce your authority.
Maintain Consistency
Structure-driven brands thrive on consistency—visually, verbally, and experientially. Make sure your messaging, design, and brand values remain stable over time. And provide the same to your patients and clients! Chances are they’re attracted to your brand because they need more consistency in their life.
Action step: Conduct a brand audit to ensure your visuals, tone, and messaging align seamlessly.
Reinforce Trust Through Proof
Use data, testimonials, or credentials to back up your claims. Customers need to feel assured that you can deliver on your promises.
Action step: Highlight case studies, awards, or customer success stories prominently on your website.
Create a Roadmap for Customers
People turn to structure-driven brands because they need guidance. Make it easy for them to understand your process, whether through clear service offerings or step-by-step explanations.
Action step: Develop a simple “How It Works” page or onboarding guide to make engagement effortless.
Balance Authority with Accessibility
While structure brands often lead with authority, don’t become unapproachable. Find a balance between being a leader and being relatable. Let your second superpower take the rein every once in a while.
Action step: Humanize your brand by incorporating real voices—behind-the-scenes content, expert interviews, or customer stories. Show that it’s OK to make mistakes.
