I teach people how to get on with people.
​
Communication is fun!
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.
​

​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!
