Speaker Testimonial: Kevin’s passion for helping others and for sharing his deep knowledge on many leadership topics, is evident from his enthusiasm as a speaker. The connection he makes with his audience is equally evident from the level of engagement, discussion and activity he raises during each workshop and from the number of participants who stay after to talk with him personally. Kevin is continually introducing new discoveries and key learnings from the leadership field, all backed by his own or other academic research, while still ensuring that all participants leave with practical, real-world tools that can be implemented immediately. Although I’ve sat through many of Kevin’s workshops, I learn something new each time as he is able… Read more

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

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.

Kevin delivered the keynote presentation for the Health Finance Managers Association’s annual meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. His relaxed, knowledgeable discussion was a valuable addition to the conference agenda. Kevin incorporates an interactive and personalized component to his presentations that permit the audience to engage with each other and apply his information immediately. I recommend Kevin as a leadership speaker for any organization as his  management experience and organizational knowledge transfers across all industries.

Magna Leadership has a set of magnificent tools for larger businesses. We used the Caliber tools and did some of the music training. The Caliber assessment was very helpful for us to get peer feedback on how to improve performance. Kevin is an amazingly smart person with a great personality and has a product that is incredible. Magna Leadership Solutions is outstanding for organizations with a diverse employee base. The measurability is the real key. I can identify specific areas – not a list of 30 – so it’s realistic in what you can target on and see real, tangible improvements.

The programs thru Magna Leadership are top-notch. Kevin and his team have a wealth of knowledge and apply it in a very thoughtful way to teach others. The materials are provided in a way that allows people to truly practice the learnings, so that the program has an impact on their lives long-term.

The Leading Forward Academy was a Great Program! Learned a lot that has helped me improve my leadership skills and confidence. Highly recommend!

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.
