His relaxed, knowledgeable discussion was a valuable addition to the conference agenda.

I recommend Kevin as a leadership speaker for any organization as his management experience and organizational knowledge transfers across all industries. -- Cassy Kincaid, R.N., MHA
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. -- G. Castleman
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. -- Paul Clark, Director - Integrated Service Desk, Intel Corporation
Magna Leadership has a set of magnificent tools for larger businesses. We used the Caliber tools and did some of the music training. The Caliber assessment was very helpful for us to get peer feedback on how to improve performance. Kevin is an amazingly smart person with a great personality and has a product that is incredible. Magna Leadership Solutions is outstanding for organizations with a diverse employee base. The measurability is the real key. I can identify specific areas - not a list of 30 - so it's realistic in what you can target on and see real, tangible improvements.-- Anita Grantham, Chief People Officer, Jokake Construction
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. -- T.S.
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. -- Mike Foster, Sr. Director, Global Staffing, Qualcomm

Kevin is dynamic in both content and delivery. His authenticity is evident, driven by his wealth of experience and research. Practical and transformational! -- David Waits, Waits Consulting Group, Inc.
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 to flex the format of his workshops on the fly
to address the specific needs of each new audience and often interjects additional
relevant information beyond the original agenda. -- Sonia Ng, Learning & Organization
Development Manager
