Amplifying Leadership in Underrepresented Communities with Pamela Slim
In this podcast episode, I introduce Pamela Slim, an award-winning author, speaker, and business coach who specializes in helping small business owners scale their businesses and intellectual property.
Pamela Slim is an award-winner author, speaker and business coach who works with small business owners ready to scale their businesses and IP. She is the author of Escape from Cubicle Nation (Penguin Portfolio, 2009), Body of Work (Penguin Portfolio, 2014) and The Widest Net (McGraw Hill, November, 2021). Pam and her husband Darryl co-founded the K’é Community Lab in Mesa, Arizona, where they host scores of diverse community leaders and regular small business programming.
After traveling to multiple cities for her book tour, she realized the lack of visibility for Native American business presenters in the entrepreneurship space. This led her and her husband to establish a space that not only houses their offices but also highlights the often underrecognized leadership in the community.
Pamela emphasizes that there is a vast pool of underrecognized entrepreneurs who are capable but have been systematically made invisible. She advocates for focusing on visibility rather than assuming these individuals need to be taught how to become leaders or entrepreneurs. She believes that building relationships and highlighting existing leadership can enrich businesses and communities.
