Michael Leslie Amilcar

Michael Amilcar was the featured guest of Montgomery Community Media’s September Small Business Network (SBN) session. The event took place on September 19 at our studios in Rockville.

The series of monthly morning sessions facilitated by Kelly Leonard address topics of interest to small business owners in Montgomery County.

September topic:  “A Seat at the Table: Reclaiming Your Power and Telling Your Story.”

Participants will learn to:

• Pay attention. Be mindful of what is happening internally and externally to help you visualize your future and your right to occupy a seat at the table.
• Acknowledge your assumptions about who is allowed to have a seat at the table and what your voice needs to be when you are there.
• Recall what you’ve been taught about leadership and understand how that has shaped your perspective.
• Always seek different perspectives to find gaps in your thinking or representation.
• Examine your options and make a decision on the actions you will take.
