I love the way Marius takes people (including me) along and involves them, guides them through the questions and reflections — and integrates them. It’s just great and incredibly well done because it happens so casually. Marius has been with us for over five years, and he is an important guide for us. He does it with great kindness, maximum know-how, and a lot of passion.
