With a lot of patience, good humour, and creative thinking he drew us out and made us rethink a lot of the basic assumptions we'd had about our business. Not only did we see weaknesses we hadn't before, but also saw strengths we'd gotten used to over time. His workshop was a really refreshing experience for us, highly recommended!"
