Align your Teams.

Growing Leaders for Others

Animus tibi esse. This is a Latin phrase that is at the core of everything
that we do at Pondera and it means “the courage to be you.”

We strongly believe that leaders must know themselves before they can effectively lead others and align their teams. The goal is to help bring out the best in each leader for the long-term good of their teams and organizations. Done right and embraced courageously, our process has remarkable positive effects enhancing clarity and aligning teams with key strategic priorities that drive growth and results.
