Margot Fine (she/her) Partner Consultant, & Conscious Leadership Community Lead
My name is Margot - I love walking by the ocean with my husband, learning new things alongside my 3 kids, the smell of a campfire, getting my hands dirty in the garden, creating art, and making soup without recipes. I am a 3rd generation New Yorker, and have been building community for over 20 years in what is now called Portland, Maine. I have a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from Bates College and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern Maine and am licensed as a clinical social worker, with my practice rooted in radical social change strategies for structural transformation and community justice.
For fifteen years, I was the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director at Maine Inside Out (MIO), where I co-created an innovative transformative justice organization implementing a sustainability framework, strategic plan, and operational oversight with a commitment to non-traditional governance models and shared leadership values. Over the years and previous to my work at MIO, I have been part of community based movements for social change from grassroots farming collectives focused on food sovereignty to large scale political campaigns intended to shift outdated systems. I’ve also worked as a leader and coalition builder at various non profits and in school based settings in the areas of houselessness, incarceration, legal rights, the arts, youth resiliency, and alternatives to suspension and expulsion. I have also been an advocate and thought partner inside government systems focused on systemic changes that move towards inclusivity and responsiveness to all. I’ve been a member of countless local committees and coalitions as well as nominated to sit on government advisory groups. In all environments - grassroots to government - and in all relationships - I hold steady on a path that is driven by a desire to build a more interconnected and equitable world. As a leader and collaborator, I bring a strong racial justice movement orientation to all of my work and strive to create a culture of integrity and trust across diverse teams of people, where all can feel confident to build meaningful relationships, be autonomous and collaborative, make mistakes, and learn and grow personally and collectively.
At Conscious Revolution, I am answering a call to co-create and support the Conscious Leadership Community - with the aim to creatively engage leaders and changemakers across sectors to accelerate progress toward personal healing, organizational change, and systemic and cultural transformation. I have personally been on a twenty five year journey that recognizes the inextricable link between inner work and its outer personal, professional and systemic manifestations, and look forward to being in community with others at all points of their journeys who share this recognition and commitment. I will also be working with non profit partners on higher purpose, values, and organizational design, and to support those that I am fortunate to work with to find the greatest alignment of their organizational purpose and values and to build practices and structures that create, nourish, and uphold the culture, community and world desired to live and work in.
