Testimonies from clients and students

Our effectiveness as both coaches and trainers is closely related; as we coach on a regular basis, this increases our ability to train in the area of human behaviour and specifically about coaching and personal performance. As we continue to train, this increases stretches our experience and ultimately our effectiveness as coaches. So, we have a mixture of training and coaching testimonies here.

“The training will help me with the quality of my personal life, I’ve seen results since the training, and have made choices I wouldn’t have done before – really positive! I enjoyed learning the new applications of NLP each day and how I could use the tools Sonya and Mark taught us in my personal life. They always made me feel completely comfortable with expressing how I felt and if I didn’t understand anything, they were happy to demonstrate or explain further, without making me feel stupid.”

Tristina, Queenstown, NZ, 2010

“Sonya is a fantastic trainer and exponent of NLP and brings a depth of knowledge and understanding that is critical when modelling such a technology. I waited 20 years to find the right provider to gain my certification as an NLP practitioner and I am so glad that I did. For anyone who is interested in experiencing true NLP, I highly recommend Sonya to you.”

Scott Thompson, Change and Benefits Manager at Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation, Queensland Government, 2010

“Thank you Sonya for changing my life. I can’t believe the change in 5 sessions.

Bonnie Ries, A Table for Six, Brisbane, Australia, July 2008

“Mark at Blue-Sky Transformation was wonderful to work with. He was both very personal and professional during our sessions. The Neuro-Linguistic Programming ( NLP) techniques that I worked through with Mark made an immediate difference in my personal and professional life planning. Not only did these techniques help me, but they are very helpful to me in my work in the field of peace building and conflict resolution in post-conflict countries.
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value”

David Kozar, Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, Intake Office at Queensland Government Department of Justice and Attorney, 2009

Training structure was thought out efficiently and effectively – made group really think hard / pay attention to details – made us think for ourselves to obtain better understanding / solutions without giving away the answers…

Attendent for a corporate training, 2010

I’ve found the increased self-awareness and self-editing processes to have much wider-reaching uses and implications than I had been expecting and have used these tools in my personal life as well as, if not more, than in my professional life. These processes and ideas were harder to learn and sometimes felt somewhat strange at the time of training, but I can definitely see the benefit of learning these new skills.

Queenstown, NZ, 2010

I want to thank you both for the life changing NLP Practitioner training that I experienced with Blue-Sky Transformation.

I’d also like to add that the two of you make a wonderful training team. I enjoyed your humour, the way you kept us guessing and the way you encouraged us without judgement during our learning process. Your passion for NLP and your knowledge of the field was very apparent, which makes me pleased that I chose to attend your training course after researching many other training organisations.

With thanks,

Natalie Roselli

“Thank you Sonya for helping me rediscover the parts of myself that had gotten lost along the way. It is something I have tried to do on my own for too long and without success. I wish I had come to see you long ago. You have made a huge difference in my life and the lives of my family. I really liked the one on one sessions with Sonya. I felt like I was able to work through issues without having to verbalise every detail. I am now able to focus on the important things in life with more clarity than before. I certainly wouldn`t be able to see a more positive future for myself if I hadn`t been to see Sonya. I am now able to go through my life more happy than I have been in a long time.”

Carla, a wonderful human, Brisbane, Australia, June 2008

I noticed an immediate improvement in awareness between my conscious and un conscious. I’m sure quality will only improve from here.

Attendent for a corporate training, 2010

Fantastic, incredibly helpful, and as each day goes by, the new tools are becoming second nature.

Attendent for a corporate training, 2010

“Sonya has helped me to clarify my thoughts and make the decisions that I need to make. Her sessions have also opened my mind to views of my situation that I weren’t aware of before. I enjoyed working with her and these sessions made it possible for me to open up and resolve the issues that I had. And I think part of that is because Sonya has managed to keep our sessions content free so that we were tackling on the how and why more than about what. It allowed me to trust and relax easier because I didn’t feel ashamed of myself. Thanks for helping!”

Jens Grunedler, General Manager, Taste – for the love of cooking, 2007

Sonya has been instrumental in creating the life I desire. I am now able to dream and set goals for both my personal and professional life.
Thank you Sonya, I will always value our time spent together and will be forever grateful for your empathy and wisdom.

Edward Charles, Manager, Library Technology at Rodney District Council, 2006

Sonya has an excellent grasp of the areas of both Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Linguistic Programming so a session with her will likely produce a very desirable outcome. Her professional style, excellent communications and ability to work with her client to bring about continuous improvements, virtually guarantee that her guidance will almost certainly realise tangible benefits for you.

Grant Gibson, Regional Sales Manager, Asia-Pacific at Jade Software Corporation Limited, 2006

Thank you Sonya, for giving me the tools and ability to get answers in my life.
I enjoy the fact that you work with the whole mind, body and spirit, not jus the problem. You get to the core of what is happening. It is great to feel the (personal) power when I start to see everything fall into place. The tools you offered had supported me and helped me find which direction I want to go, and when I am on my own, I can approach other situations using these tools.

Anita Dida, Early Childhood Head Teacher, Wellesley Kindergarten, 2005
