At Nell 3D, we don’t just speak about leadership, transformation, and impact—we live it. Our values are the foundation of everything we do, from how we structure our days to how we engage with clients, partners, and the world around us. These aren’t just words; they are principles we practice in 3D—guiding our work for ourselves (ME), our teams and families (WE), and the broader communities we serve (WORLD).
Values: Walking the Talk
Courage
Rooted in the Latin cor—meaning heart—courage is more than bravery; it’s about feeling the full range of emotions and taking action in service of a better future. It means stepping into discomfort, challenging the status quo, and leading with authenticity, even when the path is uncertain.
Devotion
More than love, devotion is an unwavering commitment to the work that matters most. It calls us to deeply appreciate every element of our craft, persistently seek growth, and recognize the role of spirit in achieving true excellence. Devotion fuels our resilience and drives us to elevate not just ourselves, but those around us.
Growth
Learning is not a phase—it’s a way of life. We pursue knowledge not just because we love it, but because continuous learning is essential for excellence. We believe in the boundless potential of individuals and teams to evolve, improve, and create meaningful change. Our work fosters that hunger for growth in every person we engage with.
Yes, And
Borrowed from the world of improv, this value reminds us that nothing is purely black and white. We embrace complexity, acknowledge all contributions, and integrate diverse perspectives to move closer to collective thriving. It’s also a reminder to bring lightness and joy to the work. We take what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Interconnectedness
We honor the truth that everything is connected—within ourselves, between us, and across the world. This awareness calls us to act with care and purpose, knowing our choices ripple outward. When we align with this interconnected flow, we unlock greater momentum, efficiency, and impact.

Pro / Low Bono and Charitable Giving
Impact isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a practice. We dedicate 15% of Nell 3D’s programming to supporting high-impact, under-recognized organizations and groups. This commitment includes:
Delivering keynotes to groups of under-resourced leaders.
Reserving retreat spots for transformative leaders who lack financial access.
Providing strategic advisory through board membership and pro bono consulting.
We also make financial contributions to values-aligned organizations in our local communities that share our commitment to conscious leadership and positive change. Because impact is measured not just in words, but in actions.
At Nell 3D, these values aren’t just part of our brand—they are how we show up in every conversation, every engagement, and every decision. If these principles resonate with you, we’d love to collaborate and create meaningful impact together.
