ENTREPRENEUR
Dr. Puente's twelve years as a Real Estate Broker/Owner of a licensed Brokerage has given him plenty of practical experience in the field of Entrepreneurship. He can pair the academic theories to the pragmatic application in the business world. Students tend to pay closer attention when they hear practical examples to go along with their lecture.
DIGITAL MARKETER
The other focus of Dr. Puente's teaching is that of today's dynamic Startup Digital Marketing. This is more than just concentrating on social media, but more of the analysis of big data on what currently is working in the market. His plan is to give a holistic idea to the students on how systematic marketing changes per the demand of the consumer.
REAL ESTATE BROKER
Dr. Puente is a Licensed Real Estate Broker in the states of Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida who tends to advise his clients directly, and throughout the transaction process. His background in Business Academics combines well with the Practical views of the Real Estate Market.
LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
Dr. Puente's doctoral education is focused within the fields of Leadership and Management. Therefore, it is his goal to always focus the learning in making sure these students will be successful Managers and Directors of organizations. The correct blend of psychology, sociology and Industrial Organizational concepts will be used to create the best curriculums.
ONLINE LECTURER
Dr. Puente's favorite type of courses are the ones that are offered through an online medium. This is due to the fact that it takes very creative means to convey the lessons to the students. His online courses go beyond the typical assignment submissions. Interaction and adaptation of the material is important to create a better environment for retaining knowledge. Dr. Puente tends to use different applications that have proven to meet high student satisfaction while creating a high interest in the subject. This reflects deeply on the grades and the future value of the business student.
MEDIATOR
Dr. Will Puente offers a different type of Online Mediator. His non-lawyer background helps merge Academic Theories to pragmatism on how two parties can truly come out of a legal situation with a Win-Win through an online mediation. Dr. Puente believes that there should be a serious push for understanding, which creates a solution through concentration of Emotional Intelligence. He has had plenty of online mediations which have been successful, and he is confident in his ability to produce results. His Online Family Mediation package, which relies on full payment upon a successful Mediated Agreement, is very unique to his style of low cost divorce mediations. The Family Med-Arb is another one of his unique packages which works on helping the parties save thousands in legal fees.
ACHIEVER
"This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or I can use it for good. What I do today is very important because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone, forever, Leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss, good, not evil, Success, not failure, in order that I shall not Forget the price I paid for it."

"I strongly believe Professor Puente’s online instruction was effective. With that being said not every professor is as skillful or apt to teach an online synchronous
course as well as he has."

"Mr. Puente does a great job in really keeping us interacting with each other, where you do not find that feature in most online classes."

"My company needed a valuation on the financial worth of the current and former clients. This was a crucial factor for a legal matter which required a formal academic backing of numerical values. Will Puente was able to cite two business academic theories that fit the valuation structure of our clientele, one of them being the Lev & Schwartz Model of human capital valuation."
PSYCHOMETRIC PROFILE
THOMAS-KILMANN CONFLICT MODEL
The TKI is designed to measure a person's behavior in conflict situations. "Conflict situations" are those in which the concerns of two people appear to be incompatible. In such situations, we can describe an individual's behavior along two dimensions: (1) assertiveness, the extent to which the person attempts to satisfy his own concerns, and (2) cooperativeness, the extent to which the person attempts to satisfy the other person's concerns.
