Who is Neil Bierbaum and what is his background in ontological coaching?

I am a Master Certified Coach (MCC — the highest accreditation level of the International Coaching Federation) with 10,000+ hours of coaching practice. I trained in ontological coaching through a rigorous ICF-accredited programme, followed by five years as a lead trainer — accumulating over 2,500 hours facilitating intensive personal transformation programs. My work integrates ontological coaching with Vipassana meditation (20+ years of daily practice), CBT principles, and Jungian psychology. I hold an MPhil in Leadership Coaching (cum laude, Stellenbosch Business School, 2025).
