Renewing Minds.
Shaping Leaders.
About Us
The Fortified Vision
Imagine a world in which young men and women were equipped with basic emotional and spiritual fundamentals that not only allowed them to persevere through life’s most difficult challenges but also grew up to be responsible and relatable leaders, parents and business owners in a society that has almost completely done away with objective truth and moral guidelines.
Fortified Core Values: The 7 R's
01
Reconciliation
Our desire is for the broken to be restored, the lost redeemed and the destroyed re-established. We aim to partner with families to bring hope and reconciliation to the most damaged scenarios.
02
Resilience
The harshest challenges and most difficult moments help to shape our character and perseverance. We model true grit and tenacity and help others to dig deep in moments that tower over them as impossible.
03
Rest
We understand the importance of physical rest of the mind, body and soul, but also the significant role of spiritually being at rest – knowing that God fights our battles and strips off any weight and anxiety off our shoulders.
04
Reverence
We honor and respect firstly, Our Creator and Father God, as the one true God and base our teachings, advice, and methods largely on Biblical precepts. We also honor the agreement to be respectful and courteous in every dealing and interaction with you.
05
Relevance
Our ages, stories and backgrounds resonate firmly with this generation as most coaches are also Gen Z. We have impeccable ability to link our own experience to your current situation.
06
Reliability
Our unwavering and sturdy commitment to see change and transformation cannot be mistaken. We promise to devote ourselves whole-heartedly to supporting you.
07
Relatability
Connecting with others through our shared experiences of pain, victory and chaos sets us apart from the typical “diagnosis” style therapy and replaces it with deep-rooted relationship.
