  • "Preston did a presentation on "Communications Success for Female Professionals: the 7 Must-Knows" for the NAAAP-SF 1st Annual Women's Leadership Forum. His room was so over capacity that attendees had to stand outside the room. Several female attendees were skeptical that Preston, a male, could be an expert on such a topic, but they were quickly convinced that he has a deep understanding of the subject after attending the session. Feedback received for Preston was extremely positive, and NAAAP-SF has plans to have him come back to do a longer workshop for our members.” ." - Kathy Doan, Vice President, NAAAP-SF
