Considering Self-employment with Career and Business Coach, Val Nelson

The Sensitive and Neurodivergent Podcast with Julie Bjelland

In this insightful presentation, Val discusses how highly sensitive people are making self-employment a viable option.

Val addresses the 3 main concerns for people considering self-employment:

• Money

• Marketing

• Energy

Practical strategies are given to break things down into manageable steps, including letting go of all the ‘outside noise’, tuning in to what feels good, and creating that heart-to-heart connection.

How we use energy as highly sensitive people is paramount to our well-being and sense of purpose and alignment. Val discusses her own experiences and the importance of visibility, collaboration, and referral. A lot can be learned from the Q&A included in the presentation.
