Absolutely amazing teacher. Duane helped me to prepare for PWC executive interview. He prepared a lot of information beforehand on the company, on the market and my interviewer and shared it with me. I was totally shocked and never seen anything like that before. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Very responsible teacher with incredible business knowledge, I would like to recommend Mr. Duane to everyone who needs interview training and a business view of the world. I've tried three teachers for my interview and Duane is the best. His advice really helped me to build confidence in my interview and all of his suggestions are helpful and professional. Hope I could a good result in tomorrow's interview and I would go back if I need other interview training. I will say Duane's class worth it!

I am truly grateful for the most useful assistance from Duane. He is an expert in business communication and has been candid in sharing his knowledge and experience with me. I applied for a senior position job in early 2022. I trained with Duane for three sessions. This fundamentally changed my approach to present myself and tackle difficult questions. I am glad to capitalize on has extensive business sense and political acumen during the advanced job interview skills and technique classes.
Duane's business presentation class is equally informative and enjoyable. He is a master in making simulated situation for me to hone my presentation and conversational skills. Indeed, Duane is versatile and well prepared for the class - I sent him materials to read in advance and he was more than willing to do so. His classes are never boring, because he has abundant interesting and fitting stories to tell! I regard Duane as my mentor. Thanks so much.

Duane è un insegnante eccellente: molto professionale, preparato e competente. Ho fatto diverse sessioni nelle quali mi ha assistito nel prepararmi ad un colloquio di lavoro in inglese. Abbiamo esplorato tutte le fasi del colloquio nel dettaglio con domande di altissimo livello e tecniche avanzate. Duane ha una profonda conoscenza del mondo aziendale e delle dinamiche organizzative. È in grado quindi di indirizzare il suo supporto in modo specifico e diretto. È un professionista serio e disponibile. Super super consigliato!
