The Team
Sam Nikkel
Sam has spent 40 plus years in leadership at a local, regional and national level. In his 50’s he went through an physical and emotional burnout. This was followed by a season of personal and professional renewal. In 2011, Sam sensed the Lord calling him to make space in his life to minister to pastors. Drawing from the deep lessons he learned from his experience and the study of best practises in resilience he has spent the last 15-20 years building pathways and resources for leaders around the theme of resiliency.
Sam is a husband, father and grandfather and loves the outdoors, sports and literature.
