Brett Bower

Over the years while living & working in Europe & the U.S., I've had the unique opportunity to mentor and coach young leaders from diverse backgrounds.  As friends on the journey, these women & men entrusted me with the opportunity to partner with them & their Creator in their transformation as people and leaders who will make the world a better place.  

My belief is that Nexus Mentoring provides a gateway for leaders to be developed and empowered to live out their life mission as agents of change within their own tribes, the communities where they live and work, and among nations.  But the journey must begin within the leader.  Transformed leaders will lead others into transformation.

It excites me to invest my time and energy in the Nexus mentoring team. In my free time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, hiking, cooking, playing board games, and doting on my grandchildren.
