Suzannah Baum, President A presentation skills trainer, executive speech coach, keynote speaker and author, Suzannah Baum helps entrepreneurs, business professionals and academics unleash their ultimate public speaking potential.

Suzannah started Ideal Communications in 2004, after witnessing the careers of educated, highly-intelligent people being hampered by their inability – or unwillingness – to speak in public. Through her training, workshops and coaching, she helps individuals create and deliver presentations with confidence, clarity and power. With over eight years of experience in the public speaking field, Suzannah has been consistently recognized for a highly-rated training style that enables her clients to improve their unique speaking style in a very short time.

Prior to founding Ideal Communications, Suzannah worked in the field of marketing with a focus on online marketing, advertising, and persuasive writing for companies in the telecommunications, IT, advertising and loyalty marketing industries. When the demand for her presentation skills training and coaching increased, she left the marketing field to focus on helping people improve their presentation skills and become more effective, dynamic speakers.

Suzannah is an executive board member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (Montreal chapter), a prizewinning speaker, an advanced Toastmaster and a mentor. She is also a past Club President and active member of her local Toastmasters chapter. Her published articles on the topic of public speaking have appeared in womenentrepreneur.com, womensmedia.com, and ezinearticles.com. She also publishes new articles in the monthly newsletter, The Ideal Communicator.

Suzannah holds a B.Comm in marketing and international business from McGill University and a M.A in international relations from Carleton University.
