Personal Business Referrals and Testimonials 

The following testimonials are from people who have experienced the benefits of NLP Business Training with Mark Klaassen and Communications Plus:

"One of the most professional and competent trainers I have experienced.  Especially sensitive to students understanding and involvement.  Great training, well balanced where everyone was able to achieve a high standard irrespective of their previous knowledge or experience."
Captain Peter Arnold, Pilot, Air New Zealand.

“Mark as trainer got better and better for me as the pieces fell into place. The training was self prophesising – life changing – awareness of self and others in the same way an athlete trains their whole life for a moment in Olympic history.  Professionally I’ve gained new skills to enhance my teams and to achieve company goals in ways it would take me a lifetime to conjure up.  I’ve learned I have choice.  I have many dreams that this course has given me access to again.  Thanks for a life changing training … surprise myself everyday!”
Emma Barry. Program Manager, Les Mills International

“Having undertaken NLP Training myself and personally found it one of the most positively impactful series of Training I’ve ever done, I have encouraged my staff to also do training with Communications Plus.  One of my staff has recently completed NLP Practitioner and his transformation in terms of personal understanding has been remarkable as well as his ability to strengthen his existing client relationships along with improvements in winning new business.  I am now placing a new staff member on each NLP Practitioner Training in Business Communication.  I have full confidence in NLP Trainer, Mark Klaassen to provide an invaluable experience of introducing them to practical business and life skills.” 
Grant Leach, Managing Director, The Revo Group

 "Walks the Talk of NLP in the way he trains.  Trains with great integrity and congruency.  Shows gentle awareness and sensitivity towards each participants needs.  Has raised my awareness levels of others and myself in my home life and work life and given me other ways in which to respond.
Margaret Louie, HR Consultant, Auckland

 “I have learned a lot from Mark, he has provided me personally with some great insights and tools which will help me in HR, particularly with facilitation, presentations and training.  I have gained the most in the way of learning that can be practically applied.  It has been an intense, fun, enlightening journey that I want to continue.” 
Leanne Wise, HR Manager, Airport Services, Air New Zealand
Auckland International Airport

“Great – consistent, inclusive, flexible style.  I was able to experience and appreciate his humour and his emotions for me this completes the whole picture.  The training was defining for me personally and exhilarating professionally.  I will definitely continue to learn.”  
Edith McNeill,  Manager, Te Hau Ora Te Tai Tokerau, Northland

 “Excellent, very perceptive and quickly able to demonstrate how well he knows the subject.  His willingness to share not only himself, but give time for others’ point of view and discuss issues is highly valued.  The training for me personally has been very challenging (Positive). Professionally – already subtleties are occurring and it’s relevance will be reinforced over time.  I’ve learned more than I consciously know.  I am more than happy that I made the investment in time and money to attend.” 
Phil Linklater, Sales Manager, Reese Viscount Ltd

 “Mark was great!  A wonderfully supportive learning environment.  A safe environment where I felt able to frequently step out of my comfort zone to the extent that this is more OK outside the training now too.  Personally enriching, enlightening, empowering.  Professionally it has eased paths for me, around my obstacles, often making the obstacles vanish.  I’ve learnt that it’s well within my capability to do “me” differently, and that everything and everyone else is different when I do that." 
Brigid Glass, Quality Control Manager, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

 “Very organised and competent.  A living example of his work – obviously practicing what he preaches. Excellent programme.  A lot of information “chunked”  into nice digestible sizes for us to learn.  What powerful information and techniques.  I cant wait to practice and use.” 
John Funnell.  International Speaker, Rotorua, NZ

Amanda Jackson, Step Up Foundation
