Over the years, Ivan has worked with business leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and educators—as a strategist, consultant, instructor, speaker, and mentor.
Here’s what some of those people have to say.
Executive & Professional Learning
“The look of engagement in the faces of the audience and the fact that so many remained behind for informal discussion after a two and half hour workshop was amazing, really! That is certainly a testament to your honest and fact-fuelled delivery of an engaging and academically well-founded presentation.”
Dal Brickenden
Marketing Faculty, Trinity Western University
“Ivan’s message about the importance of creating the ‘Wow’ factor in an organization has continued to resonate with me as I look at my own workplace.”
Neil Mort

There are few people out there who pursue innovation to benefit their clients as dedicatedly as Ivan. In our long history of co-operation and friendship, Ivan managed to always surprise me with new ideas, new initiatives and new angles to old business problems. His approach is an unusual mix of creativity and academic rigour, of process and thinking, of understanding the workings of the new wired world and the proven business principles that still need to sit behind it to make it successful. In that sense, Ivan and his iPower Strategy are one of the best partners you will ever find.

More Than a Presentation
The goal isn’t simply to deliver information.
It is to create conversations, challenge assumptions, connect ideas to business realities, and give people something they can use.
That philosophy sits at the heart of the Experience Moat™ Framework and the executive training program built around it.
