His team was selected by the International Leadership Association (ILA) to present their initial findings at the ILA’s Global Conference 2018. Recently he became one of the first coaches certified in psychological safety assessment and team coaching and was selected as one of a handful of coaches in the world to be certified to train others in psychological safety assessment.
