Pondera® Virtual Advisor

The Courage
To Be You

Animus Tibbe Esse is a Latin phrase that means “the courage to be you.” This phrase is at the core of everything we do. Each person has unique talents, gifts, and abilities, as well as areas that are yet to be explored and leaned into. It takes courage for a person to look at their full self, and accept what comes naturally and what does not. This is the gift we unlock for others through using the PVA and our services. It impacts and inspires those that are courageous and want to take the journey toward self-awareness and self-actualization.

One Tool,
A Myriad Of Insight

Our founding Partners, Joe Day and Rob Elliott, were professionals who didn’t feel like they always fit. They dreamed of building a tool that would arm coaches and leaders with insight to understand their people and how to best support them to succeed. This dream came to reality in the form of the PVA. Since 2007, the PVA has been completed by more than 30,000 individuals and has been making a difference at countless organizations.

"When I became CEO of The Right Place, my plan was to utilize a personality assessment tool that I had used several times previously, but after seeing the depth of Pondera’s PVA, I quickly changed course. We use the PVA today to build cross-functional teams, improve collaboration, and for employee relations."

– Randy Thelen, President & CEO, The Right Place
