Suzanne herself is an excellent role model for other women and the session was a big hit! Her presentation was engaging and the content was interesting, relevant and thought-provoking. Every participant enjoyed themselves and all of the feed back I received was positive.”

“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.”

“I had the pleasure of hearing Suzanne Stevens speak at a CNW Group internal conference and recently at IABC luncheon.

“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.”

“Suzanne Stevens is a most captivating and capable business trainer and motivational speaker. I’ve had the pleasure of engaging Suzanne to support corporate objectives at two companies (NGRAIN Corporation and Engenuity Technologies Inc.) and both sessions have been well worth the investment.

She is tuned to her audience, and provides exactly what is required to bring home the critical behaviour or objective.”
