“Transitions are a time when small differences in actions have disproportional results.”

What our clients are saying
I have found great value in your training and it’s really helped me professionally. In fact, I was just asked by my Region President to present with her on Friday at a chamber breakfast…this opportunity would not have happened if she was not impressed with the presentations I’ve given over the past year with the skills learned in your training.

This class was one of the most valuable I’ve taken. Unlike other training classes where the info is often not retained, Maximum Influence delivers skills that you can use for a lifetime.
Associate Director
Years later, I still utilize many of the foundational learnings I gained from you and Klassen Performance Group! Specifically, your influence course!
Patrick C. Vice President of Sales
I used the writing method to prepare for two presentations for which I had already created ppt decks. I only prepared 30 minutes for each presentation and that was plenty! I cut my total slides in each deck by 50%. One of my presentations was today to Kathleen and the rest of the CCIA leadership team. I felt focused and prepared, and it went extremely well. I walked away with two key decisions made during the meeting (my purpose). This is a great process! I’m so pleased to be part of this course.
Klassen Performance Group listened to our needs and developed a comprehensive leadership program that fit our company culture. We've had two cohorts complete the program so far and it has been a resounding success!
Director Business Development
The lessons I learned from this class will be forever instilled in me. This wasn’t a class I could “fill in the blanks” on a test and pass. The class made me think, learn and grow as a leader.
