WHERE PURPOSE & PERFORMANCE UNITE
The Magnet Collective
Our Why
It's Pretty Simple:
We’re Failing a Generation of Future Leaders
Emerging Leaders are:
-
Disconnected and disengaged
-
Under-prepared for interpersonal demands of workplaces & communities
-
Seeking purpose and agency, yet lack the skills to deliver
-
Navigating AI-driven transformation without the adaptive leadership skills to thrive
All of this Provides an Opportunity for A New Approach
Our Objectives
Workplace Improvement. Community Impact.
Mission
To revive decision-making skills for purposeful, productive workplaces and its community.
Vision
Where every aspiring leader possesses the skills to solve our most pressing problems
— professionally and personally

Purpose: We guide fellows to uncover purpose—professionally and personally.
-
Performance: We prioritize progress over perfection, empowering our fellows to experiment boldly, learn quickly, and elevate both themselves and their impact.
-
Courageous Leadership: We’re building leaders of tomorrow who act with clarity, conviction, and kindness.
-
Community & Connection: Skills & relationships are only durable if they're co-created. We provide the linkage, learning, and leadership opportunities that workplaces & communities need to thrive
What We Deliver
Real Business Outcomes. Measurable Results.
What Makes Us Different
Fellows don't just learn skills; they practice them repeatedly and prove mastery through a final project that strengthens company culture & relationships.
The result: Skills that stick.
When your early-career talent faces pressure, they have the emotional endurance, experiential reference, and peer relationships to handle it.

Early-Career Talent Face
Real Challenges.
Your emerging leaders face unique challenges that directly impact your business.
They have real challenges. You have genuine concerns.
We have thoughtful solutions.
Lack of Agency & Confidence
Their Reality: Disconnected from organizational strategy & unsure how to contribute meaningfully.
Risk: Disengagement fuels quiet quitting, lower productivity, and 50%+ higher turnover.
Our Solution: We give Fellows early agency through a real leadership opportunity: designing and leading a colleague-facing program. Low risk for you, high reward for them, building confidence and loyalty that reduce costly turnover.
Desire for Purpose Without Skills to Act
Their Reality: Want to lead with their values but lack the frameworks and confidence to turn aspiration into action
Your Risk: Purpose-driven talent (your future leaders!) leave for competitors who offer growth, meaning, and visible paths to leadership.
Our Solution: We guide Fellows from
"I want to lead" to "I am leading."
Missing Interpersonal Skills
Their Reality: Raised in digital environments, early-career employees lack conflict, conversational, and collaboration skills.
Your Risk: Preventable conflict erodes productivity, management capacity, and team cohesion; costing U.S. companies $2B daily (SHRM).
Our Solution: We replace theory with practice. Fellows rehearse real conflict intervention and collaboration in a safe setting., then apply those skills to deliver value for your team.
Workplace Loneliness & Isolation
Their Reality: Remote work has erased organic connection. Early-career employees are isolated and lack peer networks that drive engagement
Your Risk: Isolation lowers productivity and doubles first-year attrition.
Our Solution: Structured peer cohorts build connection by design. Fellows form lasting relationships while working toward a shared, purposeful goal, boosting engagement, resilience, and retention beyond the fellowship.
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.
