Speaker Testimonial: Kevin is a motivational speaker. His teaching style should be documented and show to other professors around the world. When you are with Kevin, you are not only learning but you are having fun. I am near my last residency and Kevin is the most influential teacher and person throughout my college career and that says a lot because I am friends with a lot of teachers. When you hear Kevin speak, learn from Kevin, and see how Kevin operates his classroom you will know that your life has changed for the better. Kevin is highly educated, classy, fun to be around, and very informative. Kevin is truly a person no one will forget.

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.

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.

Kevin Gazzara presented to 30 members of the Cleantech Open’s organizing committee at an event in Phoenix. We were thoroughly impressed by his friendly, straightforward, practical approach and clear, compelling presentation style. The content was amazing: eye-opening, thoughtful, and engaging. We’ll have no hesitation inviting Kevin back to future events – we’re all more than keen to discover more of his insights about building and managing great 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.

As an agency, we pride ourselves in being able to solve our clients’ business challenges with the right communication tools. We seek to regularly sharpen our problem solving skills and break out of our usual routine to examine problems and solve them. We invited Dr. Kevin Gazzara to join our annual retreat for a problem solving session with our whole organization (25 employees). Dr. Gazzara kept the content moving swiftly, weaving interactive exercises built into the course instruction. Everyone was engaged – even the employees I thought might be more reserved dove right into the program and shared, expressed ideas and came up with some of the best solutions in our exercises. The most valuable aspect of the workshop was that because we … Read more

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.

Speaker Testimonial: Kevin is an engaging speaker who is able to tailor his material to what is most critical to his audience. He is especially good at relating to the highly technical engineering functions and pulling them into the usefulness of skills/tools that they wouldn’t normally approach. His active learning approach is excellent at helping his audience apply their learning real-time, and retain it once back in the “real world.”
