In this conversation, Marcylle Combs interviews
Margaret, or "Magi," Graziano, who shares her journey from recruiting to consulting, focusing on organizational change and personal development. Magi discusses the importance of conscious use of self in coaching and the impact of her upbringing on her resilience and independence. She highlights her extensive training and the role of mentorship in her career, emphasizing the need for personal growth in facilitating change within organizations.
Magi Graziano is the CEO/founder of Keen Alignment, and Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author for her book "Ignite
Culture."
Magi's story is one of constant reinvention and resilience, a narrative she is eager to share with a wider audience. Her career began as a single mother at 19, stepping into the workforce with a position at the first Cable TV company. Her
path took numerous turns thereafter, evolving from working on straight commission as a recruiter to becoming a thriving business owner. She embraced the challenges of tech startup entrepreneurship, led one of the fastest-growing
consultancies, and became a best-selling author in her field of expertise.
Magi's life is a testament to overcoming challenges and failures, viewing them as lessons to surpass both real and perceived limits. This journey has not only shaped her
but also provided her with a framework for recalibration and recovery that she shares with others, helping them live in alignment with what truly matters. Her passion extends to empowering leaders, cultivating healthy team cultures, and
balancing personal well-being with productivity. She is particularly versed in introspection and work-life balance.
Raised in a family struggling with alcoholism and becoming a single mother at an early age taught her the importance of resilience and empowerment. A significant turning
point in her life came when, after developing a successful recruiting career and on the cusp of a major app launch, she faced the potential theft of her intellectual property by male business partners. This adversity propelled her into a legal battle for her rights and integrity, culminating in the establishment of Keen Alignment. Through this experience, she turned personal and professional trials into a platform for empowering others in the workplace.
Magi shares how she has continually recalibrated her life and career to not only meet the moment but to inspire and contribute to others. Her story is one of evolving against the odds. She hopes audiences will find value in the lessons
of resilience, empowerment, and transformation that have defined her journey.
