Welcome to a transformative retreat designed exclusively for high-achieving women in business—executives, business owners, and entrepreneurs.

This experience is about evolving your leadership to embody not just a figurehead, but a fully integrated leader who influences from within, alongside, behind, and in the field.

In today's fast-paced world, work is just one piece of our lives, not the entirety of it. Join us as we explore how to live fully in every moment while making a meaningful impact and bringing others along on this journey.

Through powerful exercises and thought-provoking inquiries, we’ll deepen your relationship with yourself, unlocking the leader within.

Elevating your leadership and your team's performance begins with empowering yourself. It starts with cultivating self-authority, self-esteem, self-belief, and self-care, and radiates outward to inspire those around you.

This retreat is your invitation to align your inner strength with outward influence, creating a holistic approach to leadership that nurtures both personal fulfillment and collective success. Join us and step into your power as a leader, ready to forge the path to a vibrant, impactful future!

  • I was deeply impressed

    I recently had the privilege of attending Magi's Leadership Retreat for coaches, and I was deeply impressed by her exceptional ability to cultivate an environment ripe for transformation.

     The retreat featured a well-structured agenda that not only illuminated my blind spots but also fostered a strong sense of community and support. I highly recommend Magi to any coach or leader committed to elevating their impact and driving meaningful change.

  • The event was life-changing!

    The event was life-changing! Magi and the team, I want to thank you for that. I found a piece of me that was very deep and holding me back.

     I came away with more confidence, self-knowledge, and self-love. I encourage anyone to sign up to spend time with Magi. Bring your open mind and be ready to be transformed– you won’t be disappointed!

    – Kathleen Dammann, Manager, Coherent Solutions

  • Her insights were enlightening

    I was part of the Leadership Survival Series put on by KeenAlignment in the Fall. This was a fantastic series that really helped me to tap into what was holding me back. Magi truly cares about everyone reaching their full potential and her insights were enlightening. She taught me so much about how I work, how my brain works, how everybody else works and how to put all the pieces together to be an effective leader. So, a massive "Thank You" to Magi for developing such an exceptional program!

  • The ideal space to reset, refocus, and recharge

    After an exhausting week that left me physically and mentally drained, the Coach’s Retreat offered the ideal space to reset, refocus, and recharge.

    ​From the moment I entered the beautiful beach house setting, surrounded by like-minded coaches, I could release my stress and immerse myself in the present. Magi, our exceptional host, created an environment that fostered genuine connection, personal growth, and a strong sense of community. The retreat’s activities—from setting intentions and engaging in deep, generative conversations to hiking through the Redwoods—were thoughtfully designed and perfectly balanced with moments for self-reflection. By the end of the weekend, I felt reenergized and more aligned with my purpose. The experience elevated my impact, empowering me to drive meaningful change while reminding me of the importance of self-care and surrounding myself with supportive, like-minded individuals.

    – Nadine Duong, KeenAlignment Coach

  • A transformative experience

    I attended the Ignite Power retreat in February 2021 and it was a transformative experience for me as a woman and aspiring leader. It was exactly what I needed at this moment in my life. It was amazing to see such a large group of loving and willing women dive into themselves and pinpoint what's holding them back from happiness and success. I enjoyed this so much and HIGHLY recommend it to any and ALL women.

    – Kelly Branyik

  • Truly inspiring and insightful

    Keen Alignment is empowering for both individuals, as well as small and large corporations. Truly inspiring and insightful in so many aspects from understanding team dynamics to self development and improvement.

    The Ignite Power Retreat is a must if you want the tools to be the best YOU!

    – Amy Johnson

  • Exceptional leadership training and practical tools

    Magi and her staff provided exceptional leadership training and practical tools for our entire Executive team and leaders. The leadership training gave us an opportunity to look inward at ourselves individually and the impact on the overall team. It was insightful and challenging – but ultimately rewarding and has made us a stronger team with clearly defined, unified goals. Through the Conscious Hiring process, we have gained the tools to thoughtfully tie the process of recruiting and staffing to the mission and vision of the organization. Overall, we have learned to identify and take responsibility for our workplace. Thank you to Margaret and the KeenAlignment team for the new direction, guidance and ongoing support.

I feel like I have a true understanding of the multi facets of leadership and how to apply them to my life and work situation. I feel I have gained an appreciation of where I can go and how I can effectively catalyze those around me to contribute to my company's mission and vision as well as to share my values, skills, and talents in the world around me to make a difference.
