Sam Dakin: Lessons from cycling, mental health and business!

Sam Dakin: 

Today, we kōrero with Sam Dakin, a New Zealand Olympian, Cyclist, and Founder of Slow Coffee Roasters.

We explore his upbringing and the value of quality time with loved ones, his life as an athlete the supportive environment he’s built, and his entrepreneurial journey, including the lessons and learnings from launching Slow Coffee Roasters.

As a passionate advocate for mental health, Sam opens up about his personal experience with OCD, how he navigates life with it, and his tips for supporting others through tough times.

Action Points:

Daily resources, and practical tools to help you build connection, resilience, and a thriving workplace culture.

This year’s theme is “the power of being seen.”

Launch kōrero happening across Hamilton and Morrinsville on the 11th and 12th of August!

Get inspired, take intentional action, and involve your whole team.


Workplace wellbeing is a team sport — let’s lead it together!!
