THE BLACK SWAN COACH
https://valnelson.com
As an introvert and highly sensitive person (HSP) who is loving my work, I am honored to be helping others like me to find their own clarity, purpose, and natural flow, so they can bring their needed gifts to the world... and keep breathing.
What type of coaching do you offer and to whom?
Business Coaching, Career Coaching – primarily for introverts and highly sensitive people (HSPs) who are in career transition, wanting more ease with self-employment, or wanting to know “the best use of you.”
I know there’s nothing wrong with you, just wrong fits that make you feel wrong.
My clients want their life to matter and they want support from someone who gets their sensitive soul needs. I get it.
If something feels off with your career and/or your self-employment journey, I invite you to visit my website and find some ways to learn and connect.
Why did you get into coaching? What motivates you?
After a career that spanned many fields and interests, I discovered coaching as something that brought together my strengths and my heart’s calling. It feels like natural flow and I love it. I feel motivated by the impact I see happening for my clients as they are making a life and a living with more ease and flow.
What differentiates you from other coaches?
I bring together an understanding of confidence, business and marketing, intuitive and heart-led decision making, working with one’s strengths as an introvert and/or HSP, and how to stay centered through it all. My clients go from dreading the whole career and business stuff to loving it, and there’s no extrovert mask required.
I bring a left and right brain integrated approach so that heart-centered people can also have ease and sustainability in bringing their gifts to the world.
In addition to individual coaching, I also offer online courses and small groups that can help you through some steps, in a budget-friendly way.
What values are important to you when working with clients?
We have to break out of the old mold that says success is only for white extroverted left-brained men. I help people who tend to feel left out of that mold – such as introverted heart-centered women from all cultures. I believe they have many gifts for the world and many natural talents. I love helping you uncover your way that feels true to who you are.
I’m dedicated to being inclusive and I love hearing feedback when my cultural blindspots get in the way. I offer some no-cost and low-cost options for those who are Black and/or Indigenous as a step towards reparations.
What do you do for fun?
Dancing (swing, Latin, ballroom, Zydeco), writing, reading, drawing, meditation, being outdoors in nature, and laughing with family and friends.
