As a coach and a mentor, Kevin is one of the most generous, energetic, empathetic and action-oriented leaders I know. I respect him greatly as a fellow coach: his creativity, his commitment to clients as well as to his own ongoing growth is impressive, as are the resources he produces: including his book, The Leader of Oz.

Kevin has been my executive leadership coach for the past year and a half, and has guided me throughout into becoming a more effective leader. He asks open-ended questions that force me to look inward and take me out of my comfort zone. Kevin’s leadership coaching comes from a positive, knowledgeable, and goal-oriented place that focuses on helping me to achieve success. By utilizing the wide variety of strategies and tools provided by Kevin, I have improved both my professional and personal relationships. He has also introduced me to “Positive Intelligence” training. This training has taught me how to shift my way of thinking about every situation to a more positive mindset. Kevin invited me to join a Positive Intelligence POD group, which through his leadership and insights, has truly transformed all our lives for the better!

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.

Outstanding mix of forward thought and practical industry experience. My engagements with Kevin and his team have been very impactful on my personal career and enabled me to become a more effective leader for my organization.

Kevin and his team are exceptional and true experts in the field! I completed Magna’s Leading Forward Program and each session provided me with practical tools to address common and uncommon leadership challenges. I’d highly recommend this program to anyone looking to take their leadership to the next level!

Magna Leadership Solutions is great! Kevin and Tim do a tremendous job facilitating training in areas of leadership that are applicable and relevant in todays 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.

I am very impressed with the AzBA Emerging Leaders program. The customized approach to delivering Magna Leaderships 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.

We conducted a Meetings With Purpose workshop during our annual planning meeting this November. Kevin was great and interacted with the entire group getting everyone involved. We left with application notes and plans and have seen a good transfer of knowledge to our work meetings already.

I highly recommend this program. I have gained the knowledge and tools to become a better, more effective leader and how how to grow a strong team. Kevin and Tim did a phenomenal job.

I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from Kevin of Magna Leadership and I cannot recommend him high enough. An experienced senior executive and skillful professor of leadership, Kevin is my trusted source of business wisdom and practical insights. I am delighted to recommend Kevin and his team to you!

Ive had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kevin and his team for years and they are the real deal. Kevin and I are in the same industry and I can tell you that he has deep knowledge and lots of practical experience in the areas of leadership and management development, and his firms offerings are well thought out and helpful. So, why only four stars? Because whenever I see a business with all five-star reviews, I get skeptical that theres some gamesmanship going on. In this case, as I look at the reviews and what people are saying, its clear to me that they are real and reflective of Magna Leaderships work. So, thanks for reading my five-star-disguised-as-a-four-star review, and I strongly encourage you to reach out to Magna Leadership.

Dr. Kevin Gazzara presented at the TTI-SI conference in January of 2020.His high content presentation, which I attended, was solid and filled with valuable ideas. Of the many take away ideas he shared, was the power of a robust on-boarding process.

I have worked with Dr. Gazzara for over a decade and during this time I have drawn on his insights and experience regarding leadership training, team development, executive coaching and behavioral style analysis. His extensive higher education teaching experience has honed his ability to facilitate groups and motivate others, all while building community. It is rare to find a professional who can bridge the gap and be creditable in both the business world and academia.

Dr. Kevin Gazzara has been a continuing success story within the OD and Leadership Development community for years. Kevin stays on top of the meaningful leadership and organizational issues of the day. He is able to translate often complex theories into meaningful, day-to-day practical suggestions to improve performance. He is approachable and helpful to all.

I have worked with Kevin and the Magna Leadership Solutions Team several times over the past few years to address several concerns.The attrition rate for our Call Center was exceeding goal, so we partnered with Magna Leadership Solutions to build out a customized benchmark assessment to become part of our hiring process.After implementing the assessment, over time our attrition rate dropped significantly, and our employee engagement survey scores increased; we were placing new hires with the attributes to be successful into our roles, and gained a more satisfied employee in the process.Another area where Kevin and the Magna Leadership Solutions Team helped was bringing our senior leadership together for a series of workshops designed to improve our management styles, bridge gaps to ensure consistency in application, and tools to keep us engaged and practicing what we learned in the workshops.I plan to use Magna Leadership Solutions again and recommend them to any company that is looking to propel their business operations and leaders to a new level.Jamie A. Friar

I was blessed to teach with and learn from Dr. Kevin Gazzara while developing the communications curriculum for the Executive Masters of Sustainability Leadership program at Arizona State University. Dr. Gazzara is the ideal example of servant leadership. He coaches from his heart sharing the wisdom hes cultivated over an impressive 40-year career. Our executive students loved him and grew from his guidance, and I am a more powerful communicator thanks to Kevins generous insights and friendship.Park Howell - Storytelling Keynote Speaker | Brand Story Strategist | Host of Business of Story Podcast

I have partnered with Magna Leadership on a number of occasions, an example would be in launching a new Transformation program with one of our clients. Magna Leadership brought their expert knowledge, skills and experience adding significant value to our project and our client. I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Garraza and his team.

Ive worked with Kevin and Magna Leadership Solutions as both a colleague and a client. Kevin is an exceptional coach in the areas of team development and leadership development. While at Intel I watched Kevin lead our HR rotational program. In this role, he identified outstanding talent and help shaped their development for future leadership positions. While at Qualcomm, I had the opportunity to utilize Kevin to develop my leadership team into a high performance team with workshops and critical skill development. Kevin is an outstanding resource.Mike Foster - Vice President, Talent Management at Qualcomm

Kevin is an amazing and gifted person. He has been working with us in the last few years, consulting to future educational leaders in the most professional way. We highly recommend working with his company.

Highly recommend this company. I attended the Leadership training with Kevin and it was great! The course was very dynamic, easy to understand and with a lot of concepts to use at work and in your day to day life.

As co-author of the book, The Leader of Oz, Dr. Kevin Gazzara has captured how essential people-centered leadership is to the health and long-term success of an organization. Having known and worked with Dr. Gazzara and members of his team for over a decade, I can attest to them walking their talk. They model high standards of leadership and management themselves while creating and facilitating paths for others to do the same through their programs, tools and coaching.

Kevin and his team helped turn the company culture positive. We had more meaningful meetings, much better communication , and everyone enjoyed their jobs and understood their roles. It just worked!!!

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 30 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 cant thank Dr. Gazzara and his team enough. Paul Hickman, President & CEO, Arizona Bankers Association

The Magna, Leaning 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.

Two years ago, my team attended a Magna Leadership workshop facilitated by Dr. Kevin Gazzara and I was forever changed. I was given tools that were pivotal in building professional relationships and ultimately resulted in a promotion for myself and a more productive team. I again attended a Magna Leadership workshop with Dr. Gazzara just last week. I have observed immediate positive outcomes directly related to the Magna Leadership tools I incorporated into my career as well as at home (these tools are beneficial for ALL relationships). I will continue to give Dr. Gazzara my highest recommendation and cannot thank him enough for what I can only describe for myself as a truly enlightening experience that will serve me throughout my life!

I highly recommend Magna Leadership Solutions LLC. Knowledgeable management and executive level team with the scholarship and expertise needed to properly assess and provide valued leadership solutions.

Let me say that Kevin is a dream to work with: crazy smart, humble, flexible, generous with time and ideas. Kevin went out of his way to give me ideas for another effort that I was leading, even though he was not involved and with a sense of humor that helps when the inevitable unanticipated challenges ariseDirect of L & D, Fortune 150 technology firm

Melissa administered my DISC assessment and was very thorough and informative. She was able to answer my questions and provide great insights.

Attended Kevins session last week in Tempe. It was a great session which provided great insights to what we should do differently... Thanks Kevin

Dr. Kevin Gazarras workshop was a great experience. I recommend Magna Leadership Solutions for leadership initiatives and building world-class teams.

After completing three days of informative and interactive learning, I was able to bring back the information to my department to restructure our department meeting using the strategies that Dr. Kevin Gazzara taught us. Although it will take time and be a continuous effort, Dr. Gazzaras work has proved to be one of a kind. For this reason, I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be taught by him.Alejandro Arellano - Palomar College - School Relations and Assessment
