REVIVING CIVILITY IN THE WORKPLACE
The Magnet Collective
OUR WHY
We return civility to
conflict & conversation
Without productive conflict & conversation, our workplaces don't work.
And it's not just your workplace. Thousands of US companies are seeking a solution to incivility and employee detachment from work amid technological and social shifts:
-
According to the Society for Human Resources Management 2025 Incivility Index, US businesses are collectively losing $2 billion per day due to incivility caused by absenteeism and reduced productivity.
-
The Journal of Applied Corporate Finance published that culture is not a luxury good, but rather, requires continues investment as an essential component of company success. In a survey of 1,348 U.S. executives, 92% agreed that improving company culture would increase firm value. As one executive warned, “By failing to attend to the embers of the campfire, the board was later left battling a forest fire.”
-
A 2025 Q1 McKinsey Quarterly piece urged leadership to invest in strengthening collaboration, connectivity, innovation, mentorship, and skills development to ensure “Return to Office” policies reap the predicted benefits in productivity and profit in this post-COVID ecosystem.
-
Gallup studied over 3.3 million workers across 100,000+ teams within 50+ industries and confirmed time & time again: highly engaged companies outperform those with lower engagement.
OUR HOW
Mission
The Magnet Collective is a workplace fellowship created to shape the conflict & conversational skills workplaces and societies need to thrive.
Vision
We envision workplaces where every aspiring professional leader possesses the constructive communication & conflict skills they need to solve our most pressing problems — professionally and personally.
Approach
Employees will graduate from the fellowship with a ready-to-launch, social, company-wide initiative. Our personalized fellowship enables colleague camaraderie, deploys necessary conflict & communication tools, and facilitates the application of these skills to create a shared project: a company-wide initiative tailored to your workforce.

What We Help Solve
Real challenges. Thoughtful solutions.
Blending Generational Differences
Every generation has their own take on how they show up at work. Translate unproductive differences into constructive communication that cultivates more profound solutions.
Outside Influences Impacting Stability
The complexity of our world is ever-present, and sometimes those complexities manifest as unproductive and preventable workplace conflict. Expand the space for multiple perspectives to work — and thrive — at your organization.
Building a Balanced Return-to-Work Experience
Change is hard, especially when that change means you can’t do laundry during lunch anymore. Reignite your employees’ purpose and passion for your mission by reimagining their role
in it.
Employees in Need of Support Evolving With Our Culture
When a company’s culture evolves, not all employees evolve with it. Demonstrate that your employees in need of additional support have the agency and professional development opportunities despite organizational shifts.
About Me
My name is Sophie Levy
For the past ten years, I’ve been bringing people together—often unexpectedly—around shared purpose.
Whether raising funds for a Palestinian-Israeli third space for constructive conversations, canvassing across 12 U.S. cities in the wake of COVID-19, or trekking 2,650 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, I’ve spent the past decade cultivating meaningful connections and experimenting with tools for collaboration—all in pursuit of common goals.
