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.

For several years we have been using the Task Quotient (TQ) Assessment, designed by Dr. Gazzara. A recent success story involved a discovery using TQ that identified a dissatisfied and misplaced in a service  manager who thrived on Project and Routine Work and was demotivated by Trouble-Shooting work. Based on his TQ profile we were able to move him into a sales related position where today he is highly engaged and has excelled for the company. Other assessments allowed us to get the right people for the company, the TQ assessment helped us preserve our investment by properly placing and retaining them.

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.

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 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.

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

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

Magna Leadership Solutions is great! Kevin and Tim do a tremendous job facilitating training in areas of leadership that are applicable and relevant in today’s business culture. Each session I was able to pick up a skill or technique that could be immediately applied. I would highly recommend working with Magna Leadership Solutions, LLC.

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.

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.
