Coaching is about guiding you to move from chasing the moment to anticipating it and being in it.

M

I work with female business owners, executive leaders and entrepreneurs from Wall Street to Main Street to realign how they work, and how they get work done with others - directly translating to higher profitability and stronger performance, breakthroughs in innovation, and exponential rises in employee engagement and contribution.

Using a unique combination of experiential coaching, science-backed development tools, and actionable strategies, I empower leaders to evolve themselves and their organizational culture to meet the moment. Whether it’s change initiatives, new leadership, or cultural transformation, I partner with executives to catalyze positive change.

FACT: The Institute of Coaching cites that over 70% of individuals who receive coaching benefited from improved work performance, relationships and more effective communication skills.

To lead a high-performing, intentional and healthy life you must be intentional, inspiring and focused as a leader. Great leaders understand that people respond and react according to how situations occur to them.  When you master the art and science of ResponseAgility® you SCULPT your personal and professional world view in alignment with your overall purpose for leading.

ResponseAgility® is a skill that gives us the personal empowerment to respond in the moment with what is, with no resistance. It gives us access to our highest and best self, the wise one who knows when our ego has taken our essence hostage. It enables us to see through the confusion, the volatility and the chaos to evaluate what is and what is not working and how to pivot our moods, attitudes and behavior for a better life at work.  When we master this distinction we are problem solvers not problem perpetrators, we believe in others ability to step up and we count on them to do so. We have good boundaries and focus on what’s moving us forward and move away from the spin of sameness keeping us trapped. 

ResponseAgility® coaching guides you to move from friction to flow and once you learn how it’s up to you to practice, practice, practice as the only thing you can count on is more change.

My ResponseAgility® Coaching Program is for female entrepreneurs, business owners and executives who want to work one-on-one with a leadership coach towards achieving success. This 12-month Program integrates leading-edge human potential, neuroscience and organizational effectiveness principles, training participants how to lead and inspire team members to optimize their genius at work.

Together, we cultivate your Intent, the Environment and Architecture needed to live and work in Alignment.

For a high achiever to lead a life of joy, fulfillment and self expression it takes attention and intention on your aim. You need to develop your environments as healthy reflections of your values. You must develop architecture that serves you in being on point, at your best most of the time. You’ll need to strengthen your discipline for putting on your own oxygen mask and leading from within as an inspiring, and emotionally attuned human being. Effective women leaders demonstrate empathy and compassion, while fostering an environment where people experience agency, authority and autonomy. Building trusting with your team, begins with trusting that you have everything you need to succeed — and that’s part of the deep self discovery and truth you’ll discover as one of my executive coaching clients.

My coaching is derived from over 25 years of study and application in the fields of organizational effectiveness, cultural anthropology, and human development — I inspire you to see, take responsibility for, and move beyond your personal and organizational constraints so that you continue to achieve peak performance, while honoring, enjoying and living fully in every area of life that matters.  

In the coaching journey, you’ll uncover your true meaning and purpose and identify and overcome subconscious obstacles that hold you back.

Throughout the coaching relationship, we’ll have powerful conversations that spark transformation and inspire you to take action in areas where you once felt stuck.

  • The Partner I Didn't Know I Needed

    "Magi has changed the way me and my teams execute and makes me a better leader on the daily. She’s like the partner you never knew you needed, but that transforms your work, your productivity, and the quality of life of you and your people…at the same time. If you are or want to be a modern leader, Magi is the partner you need. Zero percent chance you’ll regret giving her and her team a chance to help you transform how your teams’ work gets done and how you partner together for maximum effectiveness." Tana Gardner, CFO at Affinius Capital, Catalyst for Positive for Change

  • For the better part of a decade, Margaret Graziano has been my executive coach.

    As a woman, conservation professional and servant leader, Margaret’s coaching and sage advice has played a huge role in my development as a confident leader. Margaret has coached me on everything from values-centric hiring, to building highly functioning teams, to resolving conflicts and building accountability, to caring for my own physical and mental health. As a coach, Margaret walks her talk - the guidance she provides comes from her own evolving experiences and journey as a woman leader and business-owner. She sees the tools of collaboration, communication, curiosity, consensus, and inclusion as strengths, not weaknesses.
