Ignite Your Power

A 2.5-Day Leadership Recalibration for Women Who Carry Responsibility

Ignite Your Power is where women leaders reset how leadership feels, so they can lead with clarity, authority, and presence without burning themselves down.

January 23–25, 2026
Live in Pismo Beach, California

You are good at what you do.
You’ve earned your seat.
People rely on you to think clearly, lead well, and hold things together.

But leadership as a woman today is heavier than it used to be.

You’re navigating constant change, limited resources, emotional labor, and pressure to perform - all while staying composed, decisive, and available for others.

Most women leaders don’t say this out loud, but they feel it every day…
the mental fatigue of always being “on”
the weight of carrying people, culture, and outcomes
the quiet disconnect between who you are at work and who you know yourself to be

White-knuckling leadership is not sustainable.

Ignite Your Power is not a break from leadership.
It’s a recalibration of how you lead, decide, and show up, so you can do your job without burning yourself out in the process.

This is not your surface-level, spa retreat.

This is a high-touch, deeply practical leadership experience for women who refuse to choose between professional power and personal fulfillment.

This is where you remember, leadership and joy are not mutually exclusive.

  • I attended the Ignite Power Retreat of January 2022 and I was in complete awe.

    This retreat was both enlightening and empowering. During the retreat all aspects of my life were addressed both personal and professional. I was engaged on all levels, physical, mental and spiritual. I’m positive that all women would benefit from this retreat. This wonderful experience has forever changed my life; how I see myself and how I interact with others. Thank you, Magi, for providing such an amazing opportunity.

    – Shelley Turner

  • Who wants a breakthrough?

    💣💥💥Thank you Magi and the entire Ignite Power team for your inspirational coaching. I'm excited to do the work with the support of this high vibe community.
    I recommend KeenAlignment for all women who are looking to live their best life.

    – Marsha Nievas

  • 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 

  • I learned so much about who I am as a woman and leader, and got to learn from a group of extraordinary women.

    It gave me a path forward on how I wanted to show up to others in my life at work and at home, and gave me a better understanding of how to make that happen. 10/10 would recommend.
    - Jenny Landon, Senior HR Generalist, AB&I Foundry

  • 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.

Your nervous system.
Your decision-making.
Your presence.
Your internal alignment.

Because the women leaders who thrive next are not the ones who push harder…
They’re the ones who can stay grounded, clear, and steady inside complexity.

The ones who serve as the steady lighthouse their team can rely on, through difficult scenarios and celebrations.

They’re the ones who have ignited their true power.

Will it be you?

INSIDE IGNITE, YOU’LL TAP INTO THE LEVEL WHERE LEADERSHIP ACTUALLY LIVES:

If You Don’t Recalibrate, Leadership May Cost You

At first, nothing looks wrong.

You keep delivering.
You keep showing up.

You keep doing what’s required of you.

But over time, the strain shows up in quieter ways.

You’re more tired than you should be.
Your patience is shorter.
Decisions take more energy than they used to.

You notice yourself managing people instead of inspiring them.
Holding things together instead of moving them forward.
Reacting more than leading.

This is where burnout doesn’t announce itself, it flickers.

This is where:

✷ Team engagement starts to slip and signs of apathy appear
✷ Culture feels harder to sustain - team innovation gets sparse
✷ Confidence becomes tied to outcomes instead of inner clarity - rendering you less able to handle complexity
✷ Leadership begins to cost more than it gives

Most women don’t step away from leadership because they aren’t capable.
They step away because they’ve been carrying too much for too long, without recalibration.

Ignite Your Power exists to interrupt this pattern.

Before exhaustion becomes your baseline.
Before misalignment turns into disengagement.
Before the work that once mattered starts to feel heavy.

This retreat is where you reset how leadership feels from the inside out.

This Leadership Experience Is Designed for You If…

  • You carry real responsibility at work: for people, outcomes, culture, or all three

  • You are respected for your competence, but feel the internal strain of always being the one who holds it together

  • You’re navigating complexity, change, or growth and know your leadership presence matters more than ever

  • You want to lead with clarity, confidence, and grounded authority, not constant effort

  • You value depth, intelligence, and practical tools over surface-level inspiration

  • You are successful, but you know something needs to recalibrate before the cost shows up somewhere else

  • You’re ready to do the internal work that makes external leadership more effective

This Experience Is Not for You If…

  • You’re looking for a relaxing getaway or wellness retreat

  • You want motivation without introspection or personal responsibility

  • You’re not currently leading or preparing to lead others

  • You prefer theory over real-time self-examination and practice

  • You’re not willing to slow down long enough to reset how you lead

The women who get the most from Ignite Your Power already know this work is necessary.


They’re not curious. They’re ready.

What Changes First…

The first thing that changes is not your role, your team, or your workload.

It’s how leadership feels inside your body.

Most women leaders are operating with a nervous system that is constantly bracing:

✷ for decisions

✷ for conflict

✷ for responsibility

✷ for being needed

You may be highly capable, but your system is always on alert.

That’s where fatigue, second-guessing, and emotional distance begin.

Inside Ignite Your Power, the first shift is physiological.

You learn how to:

✷ Settle internal reactivity without losing authority

✷ Stay present and clear under pressure

✷ Respond instead of absorb

✷ Make decisions without carrying emotional weight afterward

When your nervous system recalibrates, everything downstream changes.

You see budding innovation, motivation and self-leadership rising from within your team. 

Not because you changed who you are…
but because you’re no longer leading from depletion.

This is where you lead your team to optimize.

This retreat works at the deep  level where leadership is actually generated - before behavior, before strategy, before culture.

Then Your Decision-Making Sharpens

Once you’re no longer operating from constant internal tension:

✷ Decisions become cleaner

✷ Conversations become more direct

✷ Boundaries become easier to hold

✷ Confidence stops depending on outcomes

You stop over-explaining.
You stop rehearsing conversations in your head.
You stop carrying what isn’t yours.

Leadership becomes simpler, not easier, but clearer.

Finally, Your Presence Changes the Room

This is the shift others notice first.

You don’t need to say more.
You don’t need to push harder.
You don’t need to manage perception.

Your presence does the work.

Teams feel steadier.
Conversations move faster.
Resistance softens.
Trust increases.

What You’ll Experience During the 2.5 Days

Ignite Your Power is designed as a progression, not an event.

Each day builds on the last, so the shifts you experience aren’t temporary insights, but integrated changes you’ll bring back to work and life.

  • Day One: You Stop Holding Everything Together

    January 23, 2026

    You arrive carrying more than you realize.

    Responsibilities.
    Unfinished conversations.
    Unspoken pressure.

    The invisible weight of being the one others rely on.

    Day one is about unloading without unraveling.

    You’ll begin to:

    — Settle your system without checking out

    — Notice where you’ve been bracing, pushing, or over-managing

    — Reconnect with your own internal signal instead of external noise

    This is where clarity starts, because you’ve finally made space for it.


  • Day Two: You Rebuild From the Inside Out

    January 24, 2026

    This is the core of the retreat.

    You’ll work with:

    — Neuroscience and physiology that explain why leadership feels heavier than it used to

    — Practical tools to regulate stress, pressure, and emotional load in real time - to remain the solid leader your team needs

    — Frameworks for making clean decisions in moments that matter, making leading feel smoother than ever before

    You’ll practice leading from presence instead of tension.
    Responding instead of absorbing.
    Holding authority without carrying everything yourself.

    This is where many women realize:

    “I don’t need to become someone new to lead.
    I need to come back to myself.”


  • Day Three: You Integrate and Leave, Optimized

    January 25, 2026

    On the final day, everything comes together.

    You’ll:

    — Solidify what changes from Monday morning on, not just what felt good in the room

    — Know exactly how you operate best as a leader, at work and at home

    — Leave with a grounded sense of direction and internal steadiness

    You’ll come out of Ignite your Power:

    Calmer.
    Clearer.
    More decisive.
    More yourself.

THE EXPERIENCE, IN ONE SENTENCE

Ignite Your Power is where women leaders reset how leadership feels, so they can lead with clarity, authority, and presence without burning themselves down.

What Women Leaders Say After Working With Margaret Graziano

The women who come to Ignite Your Power describe it as a foundational leadership experience. They leave this retreat and step powerfully into the solidity, calmness and confidence that their professional and personal goals require.

  • “What surprised me most was how practical this was. Nothing felt abstract. Everything translated directly into how I lead my team, handle pressure, and communicate.”

  • “I’ve been through a lot of leadership development. This was different. It addressed the internal pressure I didn’t realize I was carrying and once that shifted, everything else followed.”

  • “I came in exhausted and second-guessing myself more than I realized. I left grounded, clear, and confident in how I lead. The change wasn’t loud, it was steady. And it stuck.”

  • “Magi has a way of getting straight to the root of what’s actually happening, in you and in the organization. I make decisions faster now, with less emotional weight, and my team feels the difference.”

  • “This work didn’t just change how I lead at work. It changed how I show up everywhere. I’m calmer, more present, and far more effective, without working harder.”

You’ll walk away with:

✷ A steadier nervous system under pressure
 So you can handle decisions, conflict, and uncertainty without carrying the emotional weight afterward.

✷ Clear, confident decision-making
 You’ll trust yourself again, without overthinking, rehearsing, or second-guessing.

✷ A grounded leadership presence
 The kind that doesn’t rely on force, volume, or constant effort to be effective.

✷ Tools you can use in real time
 Practical methods to reset, refocus, and re-center in the middle of your workday,  not just in ideal conditions.

✷ Stronger boundaries without guilt
 You’ll know what’s yours to carry and what isn’t.

✷ A renewed connection to yourself
 Not as a concept, but as a lived sense of clarity, alignment, and inner authority.

✷ A clear path forward
 You’ll leave knowing how you want to lead next, with intention instead of inertia.

Leadership feels sustainable again. Your life both personal and professional are reignited, full of passion and mission.

Is this your time?

  • Magi Graziano was energetic, authentic and passionate speaker -- clearly with a vision to do great things with and for people she crosses path with.

    There were creative exercises, and also sessions where we discussed things we learn to help us absorb all the knowledge we were introduced to.

    – Christina Lim

  • I recently attended KeenAlignment’s Ignite Power Leadership Retreat.

    he event was intense and impactful. Magi was amazing at leading a diverse group. The experience provided insight and new tools for my leadership toolbox. The level of engagement was extraordinary – everyone found their “inner voice” and showed that in just 3.5 days, that they were transformed into leaders. I would highly recommend KeenAlignment for workforce development.

    – Francesca Dunbar

  • 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 people 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.

    – Amy Johnson

  • This is a one-of-a-kind course that I had been looking for but couldn’t find in the market of professional and personal development.

    It covers all aspects integral to work – leadership, human development, self-care, self-expression, our feminine and masculine traits, and most importantly, a vision for living. The course is brilliantly and thoughtfully constructed. I could take it again and get another level of insight. KeenAlignment’s commitment to transforming the workplace for both men and women shines through this active and engaging course.

    – Alane Watkins

  • The event was life-changing!

    Margaret 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 Margaret and her team of Keenalignment. Bring your open mind and be ready to be transformed– you won’t be disappointed!
