I teach people how to get on with people.

I’m Mark Bunting, the founder of Open Flames Communications.

For over 15 years I’ve been providing communications advice for coaches, leaders and managers and their teams.

Prior to  that I've been a school teacher, multi-award winning nationwide broadcaster, TV presenter and top-polling city councillor. 

I’ve worked with the best sports teams in New Zealand and Australia, large commercial entities and government organisations and I speak at conferences all over the country.

Our training is in person and online. 

Our purpose  is to make our country friendly by providing people  the best skills available to get on with people - to communicate effectively - to like and be liked. 

​

About
Our mission is to build the friendliest country in the world

​We love this country but we're tired of how grumpy people are towards each other, so we're doing something about it. 

Everyone likes to be liked. 

But some people are harder to like than others, right?

Here's the good oil - people don't have to be alike to like. 

No more boring team training for you!

This is contemporary, kiwi communications training.  

We don't try to smooth out people's differences  - we enhance them, celebrate them, love them and then use those differences to communicate more effectively. 

At Mark Bunting Open Communications, we build bridges to connect teams in a very kiwi, down to earth and simple way.

Connected teams are great groups of great individuals working in their own way for a collective result. . 

Sports teams, work teams, sales teams, families, couples - anyone who communicates will benefit from this training! ​

It's communications training how it should be. The best technology made simple. 

Simple, customised, relevant, memorable and  a lot of fun!

Warren - CEO

"It was perfectly pitched, insightful and connected really well with the team.  It definitely changed the vernacular in the group and made the other tasks more interesting as we observed the different coloured flames working together.  Everyone rated the session really highly, and the consensus was that it was one of the best sessions we’ve had.  

Thanks again.  Your session was awesome – and deserving of a standing ovation!"
