The situation was atypical because an intensive training for developers was to be conducted with non-developers. Lukasz took up this challenge with empathy and a lot of humour. Through his intelligent and flexible manner, he was able to ensure that a concrete learning gain was achieved for everyone. I enjoyed this very much and would gladly take a seminar with Lukasz again.
