On the Web. On the World.
Hi I'm Val Nelson — welcome to my blog and website.
I make it easy for heart-centered individuals and businesses to mobilize their unique superpowers, so they can make their mark. (My black swan formula gets to the heart of it.)
I provide career and business coaching and workshops to help people rise above the roadblocks, clarify their calling and goals, and promote their great ideas.
Contact me for a free initial consult. We can meet by phone or in my Northampton, MA, office.
In my blog, I focus on thinking big while keeping it simple. Please join the conversation by posting comments/questions — it's easy and judgment-free.

In honor of Ada Lovelace Day, March 24th, I’m dedicating this post to public health thought leader Elizabeth Pisani. Ada Lovelace Day is an international day to honor women leaders in science and technology.
Pisani is inspiring me today for speaking the truth about how to stop the spread of disease, even if what works is morally or politically unpopular.
We could all stand to think about where we’re just being agreeable when we know it’s not helping matters. At work maybe? Continue Reading »
