Miklos session was very productive, he has able to give me a few ways to manage difficult stakeholders and also a few resources as well. Make me also realize that some things that I consider "wrong" is a pain point across all UX/UI Designers on all type of products. I totally recommend :)

Miklos has been a fantastic mentor since day one. In the relatively short space of time he's been mentoring me my knowledge and understanding of UX has come on leaps and bounds. His explanation is always detailed, but clear and concise. The material Miklos sends after our calls is always super helpful as well. Highly recommended!
