About Us

The Founders
Two Friends.
One Dream.
We're Minué Yoshida and Angélica Ogando — two friends who turned decades of leadership, communication, and coaching experience into a learning platform designed for growth.
Minué Yoshida — International TEDx Speaker, Author of Inclusion Is a Verb, Leadership & Cultural Agility Expert.
Angélica Ogando — Executive Coach, Speaker, and Diversity Advocate known as “The People Whisperer.”
“Trying to find balance between confidence and humility, between professional expectations and personal authenticity, between the voice you have and the one you're still discovering.”
Our journey taught us that leadership isn't granted — it's designed through intention, practice, and courage.
That's why we built Yoshida Academy — to help you skip the self-doubt and step into the leader you've always been meant to be.
