Al literally set our group on fire. Students did notwant to leave even when the fire alarm went off! —Monica L. Greene, Director, Trio Program Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College
Mr. Duncan, I really enjoyed your presentation because it actually was a ‘breath of fresh air’. There are a lot of ‘entrepreneurs’ who talk about how they made it and that the way THEY did it is the way to go. You told us what type of mindset you should have to be successful, period. And you showed us how to develop that mindset. We need more people like you.” —Gregory Reddick, Alpha Phi Alpha, African-American Student Union, Georgia Tech
His astonishing approach in connecting with teens is simply amazing to watch! Mr. Al Duncan\\\'s insightful delivery and ability to identify and address to the needs of our teens kept participants on the edge of their seats. —Cira E. Burke, Director of Interventions, St. Thomas/St. John School District

"I called several companies and got promises for information on speakers. GBS was the first company who delivered without a return phone call. I was impressed by the level of professionalism and the willingness they offered to help us in selecting a speaker who could fit our corporate needs. Turnaround time for answers and documents was never more than 24 hours."
