“If Suzanne can keep a group of Jazz DJs paying attention for a full day, you know she's gotta be amazing!”

“The one day session that Ignite Excellence custom tailored for our group got top marks from everyone that participated. We all agreed that the material presented could be immediately applied to our networking and business development efforts. While we are all seasoned executives, this program gave everyone a renewed motivation to use the concepts and skills that we learned, to more effectively communicate with our clients and contacts. Suzanne and Giles were well versed in our business, highly organized, skilled facilitators, and very engaging. They ensured that everyone participated and got the maximum value from the day.”
~ Jane Matthews - The Osborne Group - Canada

“I had the pleasure of hearing Suzanne Stevens speak at a CNW Group internal conference and recently at IABC luncheon. On both occasions, Suzanne inspired the audience to think, while engaging us in a conversation. Her highly dynamic style, flow and information all contribute to bringing the audience to the desired goal. People leave with clear actions to take that will impact our personal and business life.”

“Our team at JAZZ.FM91 was recently exposed to an exhilarating day of workshopping and learning with Suzanne Stevens. What impressed me most was her ability to formulate the training session to speak to such a diversified group of people. The seminar included employees from all facets of this media business: sales, on-air, fundraising, and administration. It was all about the common elements associated to being successful in the service business. We had an amazing day, and I would highly recommend Ignite Excellence for your next training session.”
~ Al Kingdon, Director, Sales & Marketing - JAZZ.FM91 - Canada

“Many thanks for your excellent presentation at the recent FIDIC (International Association of Consulting Engineers) Conference, in Quebec City, and with the subsequent workshop. I know that all of the delegates found your presentation both useful and enjoyable and all of them were left with a clear understanding of why communications is important and what they could do to further improve their communication skills. /.../ I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again in the near future - perhaps in the preparations for next year’s conference in London.”
~ Geoff French, Chairman – Scott Wilson Group - England

“Our firm decided about two years to increase our investment in our technical staff to develop their communication and management skills. Upon the recommendation of another technical consulting firm, we contacted Ignite Excellence to present one seminar, and have since invited them back for four additional seminars and have plans for more. The programs that Ignite Excellence present are tailored to our business and our firm, are energetic, get us involved, and provide us with the training that we need to help us be leaders in our industry. We know that Ignite Excellence has made a difference for us.”
~ Steven C. Severini, Associate Partner – Newcomb & Boyd - US

”We have often had guest lecturers and speakers visit our international college from all over the world.
