"We hired Ivan to host a Dale Carnegie public speaking workshop for our members, and were very pleased with the results. His ability to create a comfortable and safe environment for our members encouraged them to participate in the various activities that made the workshop interactive and fun.
Members were excited about their new found skills because Ivan made them relatable to their profession and this was all possible because Ivan took the time to customize the workshop to our member’s needs. We would absolutely hire Ivan again in the future!"

WHY CHOOSE ME?
In a word - diversity! There are great public speaking resources and coaches that can help you deliver a successful presentation at work but the ability to effectively communicate happens in all aspects of life. I have had the great fortune to develop effective public speaking skills through a myriad of professional and educational experiences. Having worked as an educator, actor, entertainer, MC, salesman and consultant, I have identified and developed expedient techniques that comprise the science of public speaking. In developing this practical approach, I have borrowed techniques from non-traditional sources such as gambling analysis, police interrogation and improv and adapted them to help you become a better speaker in any environment.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Good public speaking and communication skills are essential in any situation from one-on-one communication, persuasive speaking, job interviews, weddings, work presentations, dinner parties and everything in between. I will show you unique and user-friendly public speaking tips to shine anywhere, anytime. If you have gone to workshops or read books on public speaking there is a lot of focus on conquering fears and self empowerment. While this is important it is not something that can be done right away but rather a process. My techniques can be applied instantly and the results are immediate. There is also one added essential element that I bring to any corporate training environment: Fun!
