WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING
I recently attended Preston Ni’s communication skills seminar for foreign born professionals. The seminar was terrific, and full of all kinds of fascinating cross-cultural insights. Also, Preston has a very friendly, approachable style that made students feel comfortable right away.
Susan Cain, New York Times Best-Selling AuthorI am recommending Preston Ni based on an excellent presentation he shared with our Stanford University-based Human Rights group on the topic of public speaking. Preston is clearly a professional presenter and he quickly gained his audiences’ ear, impressing upon us the many speaking pitfalls to avoid as well as offering useful methods that can help the presenter make their points more effectively.
Keith Lee, Alumnus Fellow, Stanford University Human Rights Education InitiativeI have personally attended Preston’s Interpersonal / Career communication courses and later sought him for private coaching. I honestly enjoyed every session and looked forward to each interaction with Preston knowing that I will walk away with immense value every time. Preston is professional yet personable and he addresses issues in a very well organized manner that is easy to digest. I highly recommend anyone looking for success in communication, career, or life to attend one of Preston’s classes
Charles Lin, Business Development Lead, Innovations at eBay IncPreston is a great presenter and motivator. His talk on body language was well received and created quite a buzz in my organization. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their overall presence in both their career and personal lives.
