Who We Are
Conscious Revolution provides holistic support to expand and deepen leadership consciousness through coaching, unique community experiences, and organizational consulting. The strategies, tools, processes, and methods we use are designed to initiate change at an individual and organization’s foundation and create sustainable momentum for leaders to achieve their goals and transform themselves and their organizations.
What We Value
We Are Human
We are human first and foremost. To be human, you need space, laughter, boundaries, humility, and connection. We incorporate our humanity into our work with clients.
We Build Courage
We build courage to say what needs to be said. We respect our own and others boundaries and always speak our truth.
We Question the Norm
We question the norm and build a new way. We know that we can’t build new systems using the same thinking. We are aware of the trap of binary thinking.
We Cultivate Curiosity
We cultivate curiosity and love learning. We value many perspectives and know there are many sides to the story. We look for the lessons in the mistakes and always see potential in every situation.
We Honor Our Commitments
We honor our commitments and are flexible to change when circumstances shift. We only commit when we’re sure. We do what we say, and we say what we mean.
We Seek Joy
We seek joy in everything we do. Changing the world is a joyful endeavor! We find opportunities to celebrate and honor each other and laugh, connect and have fun with one another.
Meet Our Team
As a team we are dedicated to elevating our own conscious leadership. Our personal learning informs our holistic conscious leadership approach. Through transformative experiences, coaching, and hands-on support and consultation, we influence you to think differently, learning to rely on your own instincts.

I’ve got a couple of things I’m doing that I’d call my life’s joy (formerly called life’s work). Being a mom to my two kids gives me a chance to directly influence two people that will do great things in this beautiful, chaotic, wild world. Yes!
My life’s joy is also helping leaders build inspiring organizations that they love. There’s no better way to spend precious life time! The unique organizations we create together impact so many people for the better.
I have been told I’m a catalyst for transformation. To do this work I have a commitment to be awake in every aspect of my life, a commitment to equity and abundance, and a vow to be content in being both polished and a messy work in progress.
Witty things make me laugh. Kindred spirits fill me up. I love the sky, trees and water. Ask me to travel, sing, dance, hike, or see live music and I’m immediately in. Skiing and camping are a blast once you’ve started but the prep almost makes me not want to go. Someday I’ll be deeply settled in my body and soul and helping others to do the same.
And yeah, I have all those credentials one typically needs to be declared legit. Twenty-five plus wisdom-building years grinding it out as a global HR leader; Undergrad in Human Resources, Masters in Organizational Development & Leadership, Certifications galore. In 2019, I became one of the world’s first Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants.
Our work together will fill everyone, including us, with joy and inspiration. Yes, we can do that! Yes, that’s what we are doing! Join us!

I’m Margot, a community weaver, advocate for radical transformation, and lifelong learner. My roots stretch from a third-generation New York lineage with Russian and Polish ancestry to the place we now call Portland, Maine—where I’ve spent over 20 years building connections and nurturing community. I find joy in walking by the ocean with my partner, learning alongside my kids, playing in the garden, creating art, and making soup without recipes.
I’m shaped by my work as a co-founder and Co-Executive Director of Maine Inside Out, an organization I helped bring to life that uses theater as a tool for social change, centering people most directly impacted by incarceration. In my role as Co-Executive Director, I worked collaboratively across different identities, guiding the organization’s vision, strategic planning, and operational growth. I also nurtured MIO’s sustainability framework, focusing on non-traditional governance and shared decision-making processes. Throughout my career, I’ve worked within organizations and systems, fostering change on issues such as food sovereignty, incarceration, youth resiliency, and alternatives to exclusionary practices. My experience includes working on large-scale political campaigns and alongside government systems, advocating for inclusivity and responsiveness at every level.
In addition to my organizational work, I am passionate about facilitating groups and curating transformative experiences that empower individuals and communities. I aim to bring people together in meaningful ways, creating spaces where people can learn, be heard, be held, and grow—whether in a workshop, a retreat, or a collective action.
While my journey has been shaped by hands-on, organizational experience, I also graduated from Bates College, received a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern Maine and have a Clinical Social Work License. These academic experiences have provided me with useful tools that complement my practical work and deepen my understanding of collective healing and change.
I approach leadership with a focus on trust, collaboration, and growth, and I am committed to fostering spaces where people can evolve individually and collectively. My work continues to be driven by a desire to support lasting change and ongoing evolution, whether that’s with individuals, organizations, communities, or systems.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside, connecting with the natural world and finding joy in the simple acts of creating, collaborating, and being as present as possible in the moment.

Dr. Zoe Spencer says “I am wise enough to know that I know nothing at all.” She is a scholar/strategist/activist from Barry Farms projects in DC. She currently teaches sociology at Virginia State University. She is a published author and a highly sought after speaker and presenter. Most importantly she is a freedom fighter, a seeker of truth, and unapologetic in her purpose of making a better world for humanity, no matter how small the mark. She says: I am a microcosm of the Universe, in real life. I was put here to perform a task, maybe even to take this test…test my faith, test my humility, test my obedience, test my resilience, test my focus…test my willingness to simply admit that every blessing is given to carry out a divine purpose…And the closer I get to actualization, the more I realize that I am just a vessel, on loan to this Earth to see what I will do here, to tell stories, fight, love, and then leave…hopefully a legacy-a lingering spirit- that will live on-long after my body is no more.

This was very hard for me to write, which is funny because 1. I have a degree in writing and 2. My favorite kind of writing is autobiographical. But whenever I sat down to write this bio, this public facing piece of myself, I was overcome with fear and indecision. The simple fact that you, dear reader, were going to read this paralyzed me.
I’m sharing this with you because it’s part of what you get when you work with me. I’m a human first and foremost and I bring my humanity to work. I show up wholly and passionately because doing this work, the work of helping leaders create conscious, equitable companies, it’s the work I was born to do.
The deepest part of me lights up when I am helping others. I love your challenges, your problems, your concerns, your fears. I love them because I know that together we can figure them out, conquer them, quell them. My many years of experience as an employee of all stripes coupled with years of acting in an HR capacity leave me uniquely qualified to think with my HR hat and act with my human heart.
When I joined Conscious Revolution in 2021, I was looking for a home that would allow my love of helping others to truly flourish. I’ve found that home.

I joined the team in 2022 to help guide Conscious Revolution’s financial growth, impact, and planning as the fractional finance lead. I enjoy working with Conscious Revolution because they are always pushing the norms and challenging me to view financial success through a non-traditional lens.
I’m also the founder of Rise Financial Solutions, a boutique firm offering CFO, accounting, and FP&A consulting services. I started Rise to support business owners and investors with everything from day-to-day accounting to the complexities of M&A, financial modeling, and strategic planning.
Committed to ethical practices, Rise is advancing toward B Corp certification and is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, reflecting a strong focus on sustainable business decisions.
Prior to founding Rise, I worked in a variety of financial roles at organizations including Activision Blizzard, Constellation Brands, and Topgolf and I’m a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State of California. Beyond the balance sheets, I enjoy surfing, hiking, and quality moments with my wife and dog, embracing the very lifestyle and environmental values my firm advocates for.
