The Magna Leading Forward training is excellent and provides simple, effective tools that can help any organization.

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.

Magna Leadership has an excellent understanding of the industry and having been managers, their team understands the day to day challenges. If you’ve got OD issues and needs, Magna offers a very broad tool kit that can help a company in a lot of different ways. They delivered a well run program, and on what they said they would deliver on. Experience is what the Magna team brings to the game, which is a big differentiator. Leadership development is becoming more and more critical, the firms that can figure out new ways to develop those leaders are the ones that will have a strategic advantage. Magna brings different innovative thinking to the process. As an organization we have a much stronger bench strength to move people around.

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.

Magna Leadership Solutions is an amazing resource that helped to streamline several areas of my operations. They were instrumental in increasing our productivity through their TQ techniques. Their ability to map behaviors into an operational model that propels the organization forward is invaluable. Magna has stepped into more than one situation where the complexity of our environment needed help; they were not only able to analyze our model but made several recommendations that increased our productivity and employee retention! I have known Kevin and Magna for more than 10 years and I would highly recommend them. As a business partner, the Magna team operates with uncompromising integrity.

The leadership skills I learned as a Bank Executive has been so valuable. I would learn new tools and implement them immediately. All the training and coaching is new information and best in class management and leadership skills. I highly recommend this company because the information applies to all industries, and it applies to all managers and leaders regardless of years in that position.

Speaker Testimonial: Kevin brings about a fresh new approach to leadership principles and has the ability to communicate those principles in a common sense manner, allowing individuals to relate to their own environment. His presentations are engaging and inspiring. He has the ability to incite new idea and presents information that stretches one’s thinking.

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’s tools and ability to change our thinking shook us up in a good way. Magna is very results oriented, very easy to work with and responsive. Their ability to quantify the results – the measurement tool – was the thing that really made it work for us.

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
