The Magnet Collective
AI is replacing tasks.
We're building the humans who can't be replaced.
Your organization's next leaders are already on your payroll.

All of this Provides an Opportunity for A New Approach
Early-Career Talent Face
Real Challenges.
They have real challenges. You have genuine concerns.
We have thoughtful solutions.
Lack of Agency & Confidence
Disengagement fuels quiet quitting and turnover — replacing an entry-level employee costs 50% of their annual salary. (SHRM)
Our Solution: We give Fellows a real leadership opportunity early. Low risk for you, high reward for them.
Desire for Purpose Without Skills to Act
They want to lead. They need the frameworks and structures to learn how.
Our Solution: We guide employeess from
"I want to lead" to "I am leading."
Interpersonal Skill Growth
The entry-level jobs where these skills used to develop are disappearing.
Our Solution: Fellows practice conflict mediation and collaboration in a safe setting, then apply those skills to deliver a real project for your team.
Workplace Loneliness & Isolation
Remote work has erased organic connection. Isolation doubles first-year attrition. (Gallup)
Our Solution: Structured peer cohorts build connection by design.
Our Objectives
Workplace Improvement. Community-Wide Impact.
Mission
Develop the human skills in the next generation of leaders that AI can't replace.

About Me
My name is Sophie Levy
For the past ten years, I’ve been bringing people together—often unexpectedly—around shared purpose.
At the national venture philanthropy firm New Profit, I served as what I like to call a “translator” between investors, nonprofit leaders, community partners, and internal stakeholders, successfully stewarding over $25M in philanthropic capital. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of American University's Class of 2020, I led a high-performing national fundraising team at DialogueDirect, connecting citizens across twelve US cities with philanthropic initiatives aligned to their values during a time of widespread isolation and disconnection.
Earlier in my career, I conducted foundational research for Beit Hagefen, an Arab-Jewish cultural center’s inaugural “Third Space": a place in Haifa where people can encounter differences without relinquishing their own identities.
When I need to think, I walk! I completed the 400-mile Jordan Trail at age twenty-one, and later hiked the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, experiences that demanded cross-cultural communication, bilingual logistical planning, and deep resilience that further sharpened the grit and adaptability that define my leadership today.
