Dr. Kevin Gazzara’s workshop was a great experience. I recommend Magna Leadership Solutions for leadership initiatives and building world-class teams.

Magna Leadership Solutions handles the leadership training for the Emerging Leaders program at the Arizona Bankers Association. We are currently in the middle of our second year with the second class of thirty emerging leaders in the Arizona banking industry. The evaluations of the first-year class were overwhelmingly positive. The word of mouth among the current class has been the same. And our bank CEOs have been effusive in their thanks to us for giving them back bank executive leaders who are more efficient and effective; and can handle more direct reports. We can’t thank Dr. Gazzara and his team enough. Paul Hickman, President & CEO, Arizona Bankers Association.

In planning for retreats in the for-profit or non-profit world, it is rare to find a facilitator that combines practical experience with an approachable style and the ability to capture the attention of a group. Dr. Kevin Gazzara captures these qualities and is an effective workshop leader that provided a useful and enjoyable day of learning and interaction for my law firm’s lawyers and paralegals. The interaction between the participants came easy with Kevin’s facilitation skills.  He is low-key, but very effective in getting people to engage one another. In the past, other facilitators may have generated “rolling-eyes” or other evidence of resistance from lawyer participants.  Kevin has an easy style that puts all the participan… Read more

I highly recommend this program. I have gained the knowledge and tools to become a better, more effective leader and how to grow a strong team. Kevin and Tim did a phenomenal job.

Speaker Testimonial: Listening to Dr. Gazzara brings to light a man having as many facets as a diamond. The communicator in him shines in his ability to be an empathetic listener. The researcher in him becomes evident through his no-nonsense style of thinking. The leader in him presents himself through the passion to immerse into problems affecting people and organizations. His wisdom stands out through his extremely rare ability to convey very complex ideas through simple words.

Speaker Testimonial: Kevin is dynamic in both content and delivery. His authenticity is evident, driven by his wealth of experience and research. Practical and transformational!

Speaker Testimonial: Kevin is brilliant and fun. He involves the groups with his real life examples, his non boring data and his witty activities.He makes complex situations easy to understand and he provides great solutions.

Kevin was a facilitator during First Line Manager training for Intel. I can’t imagine a better person to guide us through the FLM process! Kevin watched us tackle different exercises and interjected himself when we needed some gentle pushing. I was only with Kevin for five days during the FLM training, but will never forget his encouragement and ‘role modeling’ behavior.

Highly recommend this company. I attended the Leadership training with Kevin, and it was great! The course was very dynamic, easy to understand and with a lot of concepts to use at work and in your day-to-day life.

I am very impressed with the AzBA Emerging Leaders program. The customized approach to delivering Magna Leadership’s Lead with Purpose program is what makes all of the difference. Not a moment of time away from the office feels wasted for these up-and-coming leaders in community banking in Arizona. The investment has a tremendous ripple effect, and the value is put into practice after just one session. I spent 20 years implementing various leadership development programs and can honestly say that Kevin and Tim are the very best at what they do.
