Ivan provided a communication strategies presentation to AMD Legal. Attendees including myself loved the presentation as various individuals mentioned that it was the best presentation ever. Ivan has this ability to convey complicated things in a very easy to digest language. The presentation was dynamic, entertaining, interactive and somehow magic! Ivan provided brilliant tips and tactics that I put to practice in my professional and personal life!

David Salem

Ivan is an exceptional communications consultant – the best I have ever worked with. Most recently I attended a half-day session where he shared pragmatic, powerful tips and exercises on how to deliver impactful presentations. I had always thought I was a fairly good presenter until I realized how much more I needed to learn. Ivan’s session was both inspirational and informative and I was able to apply these techniques immediately and have already seen a meaningful impact on audience engagement! Ivan would be an asset to ANYONE or ANY COMPANY looking to elevate their presentation skills.

Shaun Jackson

Senior Vice-President
Marketing, KUBRA

I had the privilege to work with Ivan during the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games Torch Relay and I can honestly say he is an amazing speaker and event host. The celebrations for the torch relay were of extreme high stress due to the timing and demand of being live. However, Ivan had this effortless way of adjusting things to keep the group engaged and the event running smoothly. What made this even more impressive, was that Ivan would do it in front of thousands of people in several different languages. I can state with confidence, that Ivan is truly following his passion. His energy and high-level of enthusiasm is contagious. Take the time to meet with him, consider him for your project...
