He completed his coaching studies with Integral Coaching Canada in their Master Coaching program and went on to train as faculty for them in 2015 where he now teaches their ICF accredited program in Europe and Canada.

This supports his own development and continued growth as a coach, while inspiring and informing his coaching work with his clients.
