Margot McKinnon began her career as a high school English teacher. Her most treasured memories are of helping struggling students. Her unconventional teaching methods lifted students to levels they could not imagine were possible. When her book The Exquisiteness of Being Human took off, she became a sought after inspirational speaker. She ran workshops and offered private sessions in the evening and on weekends to meet the demands. Soon after, the side hustle was destined to be the main hustle. Margot developed a Bold Vision. She decided to share her teaching methods with the world.

​Margot's first step in her Bold Vision was to complete a longtime ambition of earning a doctorate from the University of Oxford. Her thesis explored how to integrate the concept of spirituality into public education. Upon graduation and moving back to Canada, Margot wrote her second book: The Dominance Theory: A guide to elevating your 5 dimensions of self. We are all on a spectrum as to how developed or how healthy we are in each of our 5 dimensions. With The Dominance Theory, Margot helps people recognize which of the 5 dimensions dominate their personality and which ones have atrophied and become dormant. Her theory conceptualizes the 5 dimensions in this way:

• Body: Physical/Material
• Mind: Logical/Systematic
• Spirit: Unconditional Love/Eternal Self
• Soul: Meaning/Purpose
• Oneness: Connection/Belonging

Margot's book is an awakening process. As an educator, Margot argues that the school 'system' is too Mind Dominant and must do more to address the Spirit, Soul, and Oneness of children. Complete with self-inventories and conversation guides, The Dominance Theory is an inspiring and practical guidebook for activating the mysterious potential you know is there but you have not tapped into yet.
