• Apply adaptive communication by observing and listening to cues from the receive and adapting your communication style to match the receiver’s needs. By applying this, you’ll be able to connect to people and make them feel heard, which leads to positive outcomes.

About Angélica Ponder: Angélica believes every single person has potential. What she loves most is helping people recognize the greatness inside them, often before they even see it in themselves.

She was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia by a single mom working three jobs. She moved to the U.S. with her mom at the age of 15 speaking little English and leaving behind her family, culture and home. She not only values cultural diversity but is a proponent of diversity of thought. 

After spending 20 years leading high-performing teams and racking accolades, Angélica decided to bet on herself and founded Angelica Ponder Consulting Solutions, LLC in 2022.  Angélica’s coaching and consulting practice is committed to aligning people and processes through the power of learning. She is a compassionate and thought-provoking partner who supports and challenges others to become more self-aware so that they may fully explore their interests and needs, and ultimately create a vision and action plan that leverages their strengths in favor of their personal and professional goals. 

In this episode, Chabidaye and Angélica Ponder discuss:

• Unlocking your potential 
• Allowing vulnerability and embracing authenticity 
• Applying harmony in one’s life 
• Short-term and long-term strategies for aligning with the self

Key Takeaways:

• Confidence unlocks potential, and embracing a winning mindset is crucial for success. True success stems from internal fulfillment rather than external validation or societal expectations.
• Removing the invisible "armor" of expectations allows vulnerability and redefining success on one's own terms. Shedding limiting beliefs and societal expectations can be uncomfortable initially but embracing authenticity is worth it.
• Work should not constitute the entirety of life; aim for harmony by being present in each moment. High achievers may sense something missing, and coaching can help uncover core values and align pursuits accordingly.
• Short-term strategies like gratitude journaling, breathwork, mindfulness, and hot yoga can provide peace and community. Examine your personal values, internal/external expectations, and self-imposed expectations to eliminate misalignment with the true self.

"All these layers on the armor makes us think that winning is an outside game, that it's all about the validation and the successes we receive. But in reality, success is about what I've uncovered about myself internally." —  Angélica Ponder

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Seeing your life and goals with clarity
• Surround yourself with a community 
• Commit to being consistent 
• Caring for your greatest asset 

Key Takeaways:

• Clarity is essential for assessing your current situation and for looking toward your future goals. Imagine what achievements you’d like to celebrate by the end of the year. Identify the tasks that have a significant impact and prioritize those. 
•  Don’t walk the journey alone. Surround yourself with a network of high achievers, so that you can get fresh ideas, encouragement, and the support that you need. Listen to other people’s experience and perspective so that you can gain encouragement and hope. 
• Take a step forward in the right direction consistently and you’ll get to your destination at the right time. Stick to your commitment even when it’s tough, develop a routine, and create a schedule. 
• In order for you to be consistent, you need to take care of your greatest entrepreneurial or professional asset: your own body and mind. Take time to take care of yourself so that you can avoid burnout and overwhelming stress. Practice activities that bring joy to your life. 

"Community is important, because when you leverage your network of fellow business owners and mentors, you get support, you get fresh ideas, you get encouragement, and you may also get some partnerships that can accelerate your year-end growth." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath
