“Worth 10 times what we’re paying! We recently engaged Margaret for a variety of tasks including workforce optimization and overall strategic planning. The assessments were right on the money and provided a clear direction of how to manage moving forward.
Her wealth of knowledge and insight into personnel and how to plan and execute a strategic plan for our business has become invaluable. Her fees will be paid for ten-fold as we grow the business to heights even I could not have imagined. If you're considering Margaret in any aspect of your business, rest assured she's the real deal and you don't need to look any further."
— John Allen, President, Product Safety Consulting, Bensenville, IL
“Magi and the team at Keen executed a high-quality culture assessment and workshop. They identified focus areas within our existing environment and executed a 2-day workshop of 35 employees from around the world. The outcome delivered on our goal to establish a unified mission and vision and associated values. We are grateful for their expertise on this journey.”

“It is very difficult to get 200+ people in a room with different languages, cultures, longevity and age differences to work on communication. Most of our team is not used to sitting in a room or being trained for a full day. We get fidgety and lose concentration.
Yet, Magi and her team were able to achieve something that I haven’t seen in my almost 13 years at AB&I. They were able to bridge the language, culture, longevity gap seamlessly! Having the translators there who understand what it is to immigrate and deal with the challenges of language and culture was outstanding!
The flow of the day, the games, the engagement and being able to adjust quickly to what the group was sensing shows the professionalism and caliber of Magi and her team! Thank you for engaging us, provoking us to think differently and to community at a higher level not only at work but at home!”
— Zeydi Gutierrez, Director of Business Operations, AB&I Foundry, Oakland, CA
“I participated in a KeenAlignment-led three day offsite for the entire leadership group of one of the companies on whose Board I serve. I can honestly say that it was the most extraordinary and impactful leadership development experiences I have ever observed. Magi Graziano is amazingly effective at drawing each team member into full engagement with her process and at bringing each of them to powerful new levels of self-awareness and to real commitment to change. The team exercises she has designed generate true mutual respect and show each member how awesomely effective they can be as a team when they work together in genuinely constructive and collaborative manners. I recommend this organization strongly!”
— Richard Arnold, Executive Director, Strategy & Corporate Development, Wi-Tronix, Bolingbrook, IL, USA
“I was part of the Leadership Survival Series put on by KeenAlignment in the Fall. This was a fantastic series that really helped me to tap into what was holding me back. Magi truly cares about everyone reaching their full potential and her insights were enlightening. She taught me so much about how I work, how my brain works, how everybody else works and how to put all the pieces together to be an effective leader. So, a massive "Thank You" to Magi for developing such an exceptional program!”
—Jennifer Allen, Accounting Professional, Hellam Varon & Co., Bellevue, WA
“Margo at KeenAlignment was a great coach! She gave us the skills as a company to be able to grow and to be an engaged team.

I want to give a huge thank you to Margo and her team of wonderful coaches. They gave me an opportunity to show my confidence, that will help me be a great leader going forward in my career in an ever-changing engineering world.
