Having worked closely with Dr. Nielsen as a colleague and a coach, I am clear that he is a natural connector in a world that is often unintentionally and intentionally fractured. Not only does he provide a high level of expertise when it comes to religious plurality, privliege, and ecumenism at the intersections of multiple identities, but he simplifies the work. This simplicity makes the fractured, complicated, and ongoing work of connection easier. Research, theory, and practical application are to be expected regularly from Dr. Nielsen. He'll make your audiences uncomfortable in the most productive of ways, calling them to greater contemplative action.

Cody is a rare find in this industry. His strong understanding of historical implications, both globally and nationally, along with his ability to facilitate engaging workshops was just the blend we needed to support our school community in navigating complex social issues that have significantly impacted our members. Dr. Nielsen was always accessible, and flexible in his approach to addressing our needs, ultimately helping more voices feel heard.

Cody brings a rare combination of expertise and approachability to our continuing education offerings. His presentations make complex topics like cultural and religious identity accessible and actionable, showing our veterinary practitioners exactly how these factors influence client communication and decision-making in their daily practice. After offering his webinar three times in late 2025, we saw exceptionally positive attendee feedback, with a few sharing that his presentation clarified misconceptions, and many participants citing it as one of the most impactful professionalism-focused sessions they’ve attended. There is no question his presentations have been a value-add to our CE offerings. Thank you Cody for your hard work!
