"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."

Juan Hernandez
Former Client

"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.
