Ben was really at making me find the answers myself. He did that by being a very good listener and just orienting questions. He also helped me to summarize my proposition in one sentence, always so useful! He is very personable, extremely good at understanding and reformulating the problem. It helped me unknot the knots in my head quite a bit. - Marie, Gallinee Ltd.
