What they are known for

Mel McSherry is a Human Design practitioner whose posts show how they connect chart concepts to questions about work, business and personal direction.

  • Their examples range from reframing pressure to work consistently to interpreting a client’s job-search situation.
  • They also introduced TUF, a collaboration combining Human Design, astrology and CliftonStrengths.

McSherry’s distinctive approach connects parts of a Human Design chart to a person’s lived situation rather than treating chart labels in isolation.

  • In a job-search example, they link a client’s Projector strategy and splenic authority to practical ways to use the waiting period, such as developing skills and making their work visible.
  • Another post applies the same emphasis on individual rhythms to business, arguing against a one-size-fits-all standard of consistency.
  • These are their explanations and accounts of client work.
  • Follow their work for examples of how they interpret Human Design in career and business contexts, and how they describe its relationship to other self-understanding frameworks.

Ideas and priorities

Mel McSherry presents Human Design as a practical decision-making map rather than a personality label.

Read more

They argue that people aren’t broken when conventional business advice doesn’t fit, and that chart mechanics such as type, authority and connected placements should inform real career and business choices.

  • Recurring themes include releasing the pressure to be consistent, trusting natural rhythms, treating a Projector’s wait as active preparation and combining Human Design with other frameworks through a collaboration called TUF.
  • McSherry teaches through client stories, a “red string” metaphor for connecting chart elements, and direct invitations to reflect or book a reading.

People aren’t broken; conventional consistency is the wrong target

McSherry argues that clients don’t need fixing; they need a business model aligned with how they operate.

Read more

Pressure to conform to traditional consistency, maintain constant market presence and chase external validation creates friction.

  • Releasing that pressure makes room for authentic rhythms and reflection.
  • McSherry connects honoring a “hermit or heretic nature” to quieter periods that can yield richer ideas, and links trust that the right opportunities will arrive to valuing quality of connection over quantity.
  • The payoff, they say, is a business built around a person’s inherent design that is easier and more effective.

McSherry describes a client’s realization: “I’m not broken.

  • I just don’t work like everyone else — and that’s okay.”
  • The post invites readers to schedule a Human Design reading.

McSherry argues that aligned work flows more naturally and attracts appreciative clients, but this post gives no specific client outcome. Ask for a concrete example.

A chart is a connected map, not a list of traits

McSherry uses a recurring “red string” metaphor to trace connections across a Human Design chart and map them onto a person’s experiences, background and work history.

Read more

They say guiding clients to create their own map is their favorite thing to do.

  • Isolating parts of yourself, McSherry argues, misses the support of the whole, so several chart elements should be read together to answer a practical question.
  • The post invites readers to reflect on their situation with direct questions.

For a client called Spec, McSherry brings together their professional situation, Projector strategy and splenic authority to address a job-search question. They ask readers: “Are you currently in a hallway, waiting for the next step?”

Waiting can be active: Projector strategy plus splenic authority

McSherry explains the Projector strategy to “wait to be recognized and invited” and addresses the anxiety it can produce.

Read more

Most people, they note, need a sustainable, easeful life and business, and telling anyone to “wait” can trigger anxiety.

  • For a Projector with splenic authority, McSherry says, in-the-moment decisions provide frequent directional signals.
  • The wait becomes time to build skills and visibility so later invitations reflect who the person is and what they want.
  • McSherry identifies as a Projector and says the space between invitation and action can be valuable.

A client named Spec is in a professional hallway, unsure how waiting applies to a job search. McSherry interprets the wait as active preparation rather than passivity, linking it to the client’s splenic authority.

McSherry recounts a coaching conversation in which waiting is presented both as a success strategy and as a source of anxiety that needs to be managed.

Combine frameworks to answer purpose and navigation questions

McSherry announced a collaboration called “TUF — The Unshakable Foundation” with Hallie Brevetti, a psychological astrologer, and Kirsten Zeigler, a CliftonStrengths expert and strengths-based strategist.

Read more

The premise is that Human Design, astrology and CliftonStrengths offer complementary insight into purpose — “your WHY” — and support for navigating life — “your HOW.” McSherry says each tool offers its own insights, but the real magic happens when they’re connected, forming a cohesive narrative about core truths.

The post introduces the two collaborators with brief background descriptions, gives their Instagram handles and invites readers to a 30-minute “Get to know us” live session on August 25th at 2pm CST. McSherry says future posts will explain how TUF works and its benefits.

The post introduces the offer but doesn’t explain the combined session format, how delivery roles are divided, pricing or outcomes. Ask for those details; the post says they were still to come.

Human Design, astrology and CliftonStrengths: The Unshakable Foundation

Want to know how they connect Human Design with other self-understanding frameworks?

Read more

This post introduces TUF, a collaboration with an astrologer and a CliftonStrengths practitioner, and explains its intended roles: purpose (the “why”) and life navigation (the “how”).

Rather than presenting Human Design alone, they describe the three frameworks as complementary and introduce the two collaborators and their different areas of work. The post frames the project as a combined offering, not as evidence that the tools have been tested or shown to produce particular outcomes.

For brands planning a campaign

For a program about integrating Human Design into entrepreneurship, this is a useful example of publicly explaining a cross-framework collaboration. Ask how they would distinguish the frameworks’ contributions and structure an entrepreneurial program around them; the post does not establish a curriculum or specific program results.

There is nothing to “fix”

Wondering how they frame Human Design for clients?

Read more

This post offers the central reassurance that people are not broken for operating differently, then connects that idea to business rhythms, visibility and relationships.

The argument moves from releasing pressure to be conventionally consistent, to valuing quiet and reflection, to building a business around one’s own way of working.

  • It closes with an invitation to book a Human Design reading.
  • The post illustrates their coaching message and sales framing, not measured client outcomes.

For brands planning a campaign

A business coaching collaboration could use this theme to open discussion about sustainable work practices rather than prescribe a single entrepreneurial routine. The post offers positioning and language to explore, but does not show a step-by-step business method.

Connecting chart details to a job-search decision

Want a concrete example of applying Human Design to a real-life question?

Read more

This post describes helping a client, identified as Spec, interpret “waiting to be recognized and invited” while looking for work.

They link the client’s Projector strategy with their splenic authority, then interpret waiting as active rather than passive: use the in-between period to follow moment-to-moment signals and develop skills that make one’s work visible.

  • The example shows them connecting chart concepts to a specific career situation instead of treating them as isolated labels.
  • Ask for independently documented client results.

For brands planning a campaign

For an entrepreneurial program, this illustrates a possible discussion about translating a framework into decisions and practical actions. Ask how they would adapt this career example for founders and what exercises or safeguards would keep guidance specific to each participant.

Human Design applied to business and career decisions

McSherry's central move is to take mechanics from a person's Human Design chart and translate them into concrete business, career, and life choices.

Read more

In one post, they work through the case of a client described as being "in a hallway" professionally and unsure how the Projector strategy of "wait to be recognized and invited" applies to a job search. Rather than treating the waiting period as passivity, they tie it to the client's splenic authority — in-the-moment decision-making that produces frequent directional signals — and reframe the wait as time to build skills and visibility so that later invitations match who the client actually is.

Reads a specific chart placement (authority center, type) against the client's real situation, then turns it into an action the client can take.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand selling business or career programs can evaluate McSherry as a practitioner who applies a chart reading to an actual commercial or employment decision rather than only explaining chart theory.

Examples: Source 1

The chart as a connected map

McSherry uses a recurring metaphor — "following the red string" — for connecting the parts of a chart to each other and then to a person's experiences, background, and work history.

Read more

They say guiding clients to build this map is their favorite part of the work, and demonstrate the approach by pulling several chart elements together to answer a single practical question. The post invites reflection with direct questions to the reader, such as whether they are currently waiting for a next step and how they could become more visible professionally.

Cross-references multiple chart elements against lived experience instead of reading one placement in isolation.

For brands planning a campaign

Useful for a brand that wants a practitioner whose pitch is an integrated, narrative reading rather than a list of traits — the framing McSherry repeats and the one most likely to shape a co-branded program's language.

Examples: Source 1

Projector strategy and authority

McSherry explains the Projector approach — waiting to be recognized and invited — and directly addresses the anxiety it produces, noting that most people need a sustainable, easeful life and business, and that telling anyone to "wait" triggers that reaction.

Read more

They identify as a Projector and describe the space between invitation and action as valuable. The teaching is grounded in a named type and a named authority (splenic), giving the advice a specific internal logic rather than a general motivational message.

Names the type and authority, states the standard strategy, then answers the common objection that waiting feels passive.

For brands planning a campaign

A collaboration on Human Design in entrepreneurial programs could build on this explainer-plus-objection-handling structure; it shows how McSherry handles pushback from mainstream business audiences on chart-based advice.

Examples: Source 1

Reframing, not fixing: releasing the pressure of consistency

McSherry's recurring argument is that clients are "not broken" and do not work like everyone else.

Read more

The post describes the moment clients realize this as a catalyst, and names specific things to release: the pressure to conform to traditional standards of consistency, the compulsion to maintain constant market presence, and the pursuit of external validation.

  • McSherry connects honoring a "hermit or heretic nature" to quieter periods of reflection, and links trusting that the right opportunities will arrive to valuing quality of connection over quantity.
  • The payoff McSherry describes is a business model built around a person's inherent design, which McSherry says is easier and more effective.
  • The post closes with a direct invitation to book a Human Design reading.

Contrasts conventional consistency-and-visibility advice with a design-aligned alternative, using client realizations as examples.

The post presents the claim that aligned work "flows more naturally" and attracts appreciative clients as McSherry's position. Ask for a specific client outcome that supports it.

For brands planning a campaign

Brands whose audience is burnt out on hustle-and-consistency messaging can evaluate McSherry against that positioning; the coaching call to action shows they sell direct sessions, not only publish content.

Examples: Source 1

Cross-framework integration: TUF with an astrologer and a strengths coach

McSherry announced a collaboration called "TUF — The Unshakable Foundation" with Hallie Brevetti, described as a psychological astrologer, and Kirsten Zeigler, described as a CliftonStrengths expert and strengths-based strategist.

Read more

The stated premise is that Human Design, astrology, and CliftonStrengths give complementary insight into purpose ("your WHY") and support for navigating life ("your HOW").

  • The post introduces both collaborators with short background descriptions, gives their Instagram handles, and invites readers to a 30-minute "Get to know us" live session on August 25th at 2pm CST.
  • McSherry says future posts will detail how TUF works and its benefits.

Before proceeding, ask for details on the combined session format, division of delivery roles, pricing, and outcomes; the post says the how-and-benefits detail was still to come.

For brands planning a campaign

This is the most directly relevant item for a business coaching company weighing a Human Design partnership: McSherry has already convened multi-practitioner programming and promoted it publicly, and works in a combined-framework vocabulary.

Examples: Source 1

Formats and teaching approach

Across the three posts, McSherry uses a consistent format: a short assertion or metaphor, a concrete client or personal example, an explanation of the chart mechanics behind it, and a reflective question or booking invitation at the end.

Read more

Client and peer stories carry the teaching ("Spec" in the hallway; the client who realizes they are not broken), and named practitioners are introduced with credentials when they join the work.

  • The three posts show distribution through LinkedIn posts plus a live session on Instagram, with collaborators identified by their own Instagram handles.
  • One-to-one readings are the commercial offer McSherry names directly.

Teaching is built on case narration rather than abstract instruction; each post ends with an invitation — a reflection question, a follow, or a booked reading.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand can evaluate McSherry as a case-study-led communicator who is comfortable co-presenting with other practitioners and driving an audience to a scheduled live event — a workable pattern for a sponsored workshop or program launch.

Audience

Mel McSherry had roughly 2,540 LinkedIn followers as of 9 October 2026, and three posts published between 22 June and 18 August 2026 are available in full.

Read more

They speak directly to people weighing a career or business change who turn to a coach because standard advice has not fit.

  • One describes a client sitting in a “hallway” between roles and uses their chart to reframe “waiting to be recognized and invited” as active preparation rather than passivity.
  • Another speaks to clients who arrive at “I'm not broken, I just don't work like everyone else,” and argues for building a business model around a person's own rhythms instead of chasing consistency.
  • A third introduces TUF, a collaboration with an astrologer and a CliftonStrengths practitioner, and directs readers to the three participants' Instagram accounts.
  • For a business coaching company looking to place Human Design inside entrepreneurial programs, this suggests a plausible mindset match: self-directed professionals and solo operators already spending on self-knowledge frameworks, reached through one professional network.
  • The posts do not publish platform demographics or audience survey data, leaving geography, age, gender, employer, occupation and job seniority unknown.
  • Ask for recent results on comparable posts—the topics, depth and formats closest to the proposed entrepreneurial-program content—and any available audience survey or platform demographic data.
  • This would help establish whether the LinkedIn audience overlaps with the entrepreneurs the program serves, and whether the Instagram audience named in the TUF post is where reach actually sits for this material.

Partnership options

Mel McSherry's clearest partnership example is TUF, a co-created offering announced with two complementary practitioners: Hallie Brevetti, described as a psychological astrologer, and Kirsten Zeigler, described as a CliftonStrengths strategist.

Read more

They present TUF as a combined framework covering a person's purpose and how they navigate decisions, and promoted a 30-minute introductory live session with all three practitioners.

  • The posts show a willingness to build an offering jointly with other practitioners, but don't publish sponsorship policies, rate cards, audience-deliverable specifications, exclusivity terms, or an official partnership inquiry channel.
  • Ask directly about sponsorship availability and terms.

Co-created program with complementary practitioners

Buyer requirement

Plan for a jointly built offering rather than a solo endorsement.

  • TUF pairs McSherry's Human Design work with astrology and CliftonStrengths from two named partners.
  • The launch included a short introductory live session and a shared Instagram presence across all three practitioners.
  • Expect agreed framing across the disciplines, named collaborators in your own announcement, and coordination on timing.
  • Ask directly about rates, deliverables, exclusivity, approval cycles, and turnaround times before budgeting.

Campaign fit

A campaign to shortlist

Need: a business coaching company is building an entrepreneurship program and wants a practitioner to co-create a module that helps founders make decisions using Human Design alongside the company's existing business content.

Read more

Decision: good fit, based on what McSherry has published.

  • Three things line up.
  • First, McSherry has already built and promoted a joint offering with practitioners from other disciplines — TUF, with an astrologer and a CliftonStrengths strategist — including a short introductory live session and shared promotion across all three.
  • A business coaching company asking for a co-created module is asking for work McSherry has done publicly, not something new.
  • Second, the teaching suits a founder audience.
  • The clearest example is the client in a career "hallway": McSherry took the Projector strategy of waiting to be recognised and invited, tied it to the client's splenic authority, and turned it into an action — use the in-between period to build skills and visibility so later invitations match who the client is.
  • That is a chart concept converted into a decision a founder can act on.
  • Third, the positioning is aimed at exactly the people such a program serves: clients who arrive at "I'm not broken, I just don't work like everyone else," and who are tired of consistency-and-visibility advice.
  • McSherry also handles the obvious objection — that "waiting" sounds passive — rather than avoiding it, which matters when a mainstream business audience meets a framework they may distrust.
  • Two things to confirm before committing.
  • No rates, deliverable list, exclusivity terms, or approval cycles appear in the published posts, so all of that has to be agreed directly.
  • And the audience information is thin: a LinkedIn following of about 2,540, observed 9 October 2026, with no demographic or performance data.
  • That makes overlap with the program's participants plausible but unproven, and it is worth asking McSherry for results on comparable posts before budgeting.
  • Caveat: TUF was announced as a combined offering, but the post said details of how it works would follow.
  • The posts here do not provide those follow-ups, so McSherry's track record on delivering a multi-framework program is asserted in the announcement rather than demonstrated in the posts.

When to choose a specialist

Need: a consumer wellness brand wants a paid sponsorship package — a guaranteed reach commitment to a broad consumer audience, demographic targeting, defined deliverables, exclusivity, and reported performance metrics — delivered inside a fixed six-week window.

Read more

Decision: poor fit based on the published posts.

  • There is no sponsorship product to buy: the posts show no rate card, media kit, deliverable specification, exclusivity terms, audience data, or partnership inquiry route.
  • The closest commercial offer is a one-to-one Human Design reading, and the only partnership format shown is a co-created program with other practitioners, not a paid placement.
  • A brand that needs impressions, targeting, and metrics is shopping for inventory the posts do not show exists.
  • The reach information also does not support the campaign's scale or targeting.
  • The only audience figure published is roughly 2,540 LinkedIn followers observed 9 October 2026 — a professional-network audience, not a consumer one.
  • The posts include no platform demographic data, audience survey, or viewing data, so age, gender, geography, and purchase behaviour are unknown.
  • The TUF post links to Instagram handles, but the posts include no Instagram content or follower numbers.
  • Finally, the content does not document measurable results.
  • The claim that aligning work with your design makes business "flow more naturally" and attracts appreciative clients is McSherry's position, not a tracked client outcome.
  • A campaign promising performance figures would require information the published work does not contain.
  • This is a mismatch of offer, not a judgement about audience quality; the same audience could still suit a coaching-led collaboration, assessed separately.
A worked campaign example

For the good-fit brief — integrating Human Design into an entrepreneurship program — build a single module around one decision each founder is facing, delivered in three parts.

Open with a short "get to know this framework" live session for the cohort, mirroring the 30-minute introductory format McSherry used for TUF: a named, low-commitment first contact that explains the framework in business language before anyone is asked to use it.

  • Then teach through a case walkthrough rather than a chart lecture.
  • Their published example offers the template: name the placement, explain the standard strategy attached to it, and address the objection that it sounds passive.
  • The client was "in a hallway" while job searching; the Projector strategy of waiting to be recognised and invited was tied to splenic authority, and the waiting period became time to build skills and visibility so later invitations matched who the client actually was.
  • A founder-facing version keeps that structure: the founder brings a live decision — a hire, a pricing move, a partnership — and leaves with one action the chart supports, not a personality label.

Carry McSherry's framing into the program's language for the third part.

  • The strongest positioning in the published posts is the reframe itself: clients are not broken, they do not work like everyone else, and the pressure to be consistent is something to release rather than meet.
  • That message suits founders who have tried a standard growth playbook and found it friction-heavy.
  • Close with written reflection questions; McSherry's posts end this way, giving the program an artefact to build on.

Before launch, agree rates, deliverables, exclusivity, and approval cycles.

  • Decide whether the offer is a two-party collaboration or includes Hallie Brevetti and Kirsten Zeigler from TUF, and clarify how the frameworks' roles would be divided in an entrepreneurial setting — the published announcement states the combined purpose ("why" and "how") but not the division of delivery.
  • Ask for results on comparable posts and any audience survey to test whether McSherry's LinkedIn audience overlaps the cohort.
  • Agree upfront what the program will measure, since no client outcome data appears in the published work.

Who else to consider

Philippe Desrochers, M.A. OD/Leadership

Choose Desrochers for a collaboration about career change and workplace realities, not a diagnostic framework.

Read more

An entrepreneurship module lands differently for mid-career employees—Desrochers names ages 30 to 50—deciding whether to leave a job they were told to love.

  • He writes from inside HR, says he has trained over 5,500 people, hosts the Career FastTrack podcast, and structures posts around a personal turning point followed by numbered lessons.
  • For a program seeking a session grounded in hiring, transitions, and how people get unstuck at work, plus an existing audio channel for promotion, he is a closer match than a chart-based teaching module.

The posts contain no repeatable framework or assessment the company could build a module structure around.

  • Desrochers's material is story plus lesson, so the program would provide the scaffolding and the contributor would provide credibility and narrative.
  • There is also no published sign of a co-created, multi-practitioner program, which is the specific format McSherry has already announced with TUF.
  • If the reason for a campaign aimed at a distinctive tool that separates the program from ordinary career coaching is that tool, Desrochers's posts do not provide it.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Candace D. Washington

Washington is the better pick when the program needs an instrument a corporate audience already recognises.

Read more

Washington facilitated a CliftonStrengths-powered leadership workshop for the 2025 Willie's Warriors cohort through Pivotal Impact, with the Chicago Foundation for Women named as the partner, and writes about leading yourself first, self-awareness, relationship building, and sharpening skills.

  • Strengths assessments are already used inside HR and learning teams, so workshop participants and the sponsoring company's stakeholders can read their results without the introductory education a Human Design module requires.
  • The documented delivery — a live cohort workshop for founders, executives, and senior leaders — is close to the format needed for a program building an entrepreneurship module, and Washington also speaks to early-career audiences, useful if the program spans graduates and founders.

The strength of the fit is also its limit.

  • CliftonStrengths is mainstream, so a program built on it competes in a crowded strengths-workshop field, while the Human Design angle gives a program a harder-to-copy proposition.
  • Washington's documented work is facilitation of existing cohorts rather than joint design of a new program with another practitioner, and the posts show early-career and leadership audiences more than entrepreneurs making commercial decisions.
  • Nothing published shows rates, deliverable terms, or availability, so a company pursuing this route starts those conversations from scratch.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Adrian Jones

Turn to Jones when the program's draw is a person and a lived story, not a decision method—for example, an opening session or keynote for founders who are accomplished but exhausted.

Read more

Jones survived two widowmaker heart attacks, left corporate America, started MORE®, and published the memoir Powered by Authenticity.

  • The posts ask whether human potential has been optimised into collapse.
  • A business coaching company serving senior professionals at an inflection point gets a speaker with a published book, a clear hook, and a question about work and identity that fits a wellbeing or retention angle.
  • The book also gives the program something concrete to reference and promote.

Jones offers a story and a provocation, not a method.

  • The posts pose reflective questions and describe personal reinvention; they don't teach a framework, assessment, or repeatable structure founders could apply to a live decision.
  • A program hiring Jones would still need its own curriculum, making the contribution better suited to a speaking slot or opening session than a co-created module.
  • For a tool participants can use and keep, McSherry's chart-based teaching is the closer fit.

Research methodology

  • This profile draws on three LinkedIn posts by Mel McSherry: an introduction to the TUF collaboration with astrologer Hallie Brevetti and CliftonStrengths strategist Kirsten Zeigler; a post arguing that clients are not broken and should build around their own working rhythms; and a post applying a client's Projector strategy and splenic authority to a job-search question.
  • The posts do not establish publication dates beyond a reference to a live session on August 25, and no older posts are included here, so the page reflects current themes only.
  • A LinkedIn following of about 2,540 was observed on 9 October 2026.
  • No demographic data, audience survey, media kit, rate information or sponsorship policy is published here, and no Instagram posts are included even though the TUF post points readers to Instagram handles.
  • McSherry's own posts are the basis for what they do and how they teach; the descriptions of client work and of TUF are McSherry's accounts rather than independently documented outcomes.
  • The TUF introduction said further posts would explain how the combined program works, and those follow-ups are not included here, which remains a gap for anyone assessing the collaboration.
  • Statements about fit and partnership options are reasoned from this published material and are not claims about unpublished rates, deliverables or results.
