Ivan led a workshop for delegates attending the JAC Case Competition
which was organized by the Ryerson University Finance Society. Being
both a part of this organizing student group as well as an attendee, I
was able to experience Ivan's hands-on approach to helping the
delegates improve their public speaking and presentation skills. This
was by far the most fun, interactive, and extremely applicable public
speaking workshop that I have been to and one which I will not forget! I
would most definitely recommend Ivan to any individuals or
organizations who are looking towards enhancing their public speaking
and presentation skills!

During the opening week of my Full Time
MBA at UBC Sauder, Ivan gave a session about "How to be an Engaging
Presenter", and it was one of the most insightful workshops I've had. It
really set the tone for the whole program in regards to how effective
presenters (and business leaders, like us) must deliver their content. I
will definitely look back to this session, and go back to Ivan for his
advice when building and practicing a presentation. Until then, I'll
practice the tactics that I learned from Ivan on a daily basis.

There are those who
teach and those who inspire, Ivan is one of the latter. I have had the
opportunity to learn from one of his online courses and was
immediately hooked by his ability to make learning fun and engaging.
Since then he has also kept me updated with relevant and helpful
information. Anyone looking to improve their communication skills and
gain insight into perfecting the art while enjoying the process would be
lucky to learn from Ivan Wanis Ruiz.

He was very patient with me
and coached me over a few weeks on developing my pitch
presentation. He is extremely good in what he’s doing, capable of
explaining difficult concepts in a user-friendly way and skilled in
teaching public speaking in easy steps. Ivan made me feel like everyone
can learn to deliver effective presentations. I especially appreciated his
sharp observation talents and how he adjusted the pace of coaching
based on the specific tasks that we were working on and my other
competing priorities. He was very receptive to feedback and I was made
sure that I can tell him anything which is really unusual in training
situations. I was working with Ivan a couple of years ago and he is
always my go-to person with all things public speaking! I value his vast
experience and enjoy working with him as a professional and a person.”

Why don't we see dinosaurs roaming around nationals parks? They
didn't embrace change in the environment, but you can! Don't be
caught with outdated servers, embrace the evolution and upgrade to
Intel SSDs! Ivan was the man who taught me Area-47 openers like
these. His enthusiasm and commitment to teaching in an impactful
and intentional way keeps him at the top of his Business Presentation
ability. I recommend Ivan's Public Speaking Class to anyone interested
in a leadership role.

I have attended Ivan Wanis Ruiz

which helps people connect with him and absorb what he is teaching. I
have attended many training sessions during my career, but Ivan's
coaching is unique and compelling.

I had the great
pleasure of attending two workshops by Ivan. Ivan's workshops are
highly engaging and the energy he brings to the stage is contagious.
His methods are fairly simple but highly impactful. His charisma is only
second to his passion for improving his audience's communication
skills. I guarantee that you will walk away having learned something
new which is easy to implement and highly effective.I've attended the
workshop "How to Present Like a Pro". Ivan was very engaging, and I'm
still impressed by how he got the majority of the audience (who are
mostly scared students) to participate. While you can't really learn
public speaking in hour, and I'm amazed by how much I took out of it!
