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.

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.

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’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…

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.

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.

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.”

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 …

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…

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.
