This month, MVT CID President & CEO Kenyattah Robinson (shown left speaking at an MVT CID Annual Meeting) joined fellow panelists Anitra Androh of Miles Stockbridge, Phyllis Liebman Brill of MRP Realty and Nina Albert of WMATA for the JLL Mid-Atlantic African American Business Network and Women’s Business Network Mid-Atlantic Leadership Panel event titled “Achieving Ambitions — Our Panelists’ Perspective” at the PwC Club at Capital One Arena on Thursday, October 5. JLL’s Michelle Dandeneau moderated the panel.

“It meant a lot to join these exceptional local leaders in commercial real estate and share my career experiences with my friends and former colleagues,” said Robinson. “The fact that I helped organize the inaugural JLL Mid-Atlantic African American Business Network and Women’s Business Network Mid-Atlantic Leadership Panel in 2015, while a JLL employee, made my participation on the panel even more gratifying.”

Robinson continued: “Providing insights from my own life, and gaining perspectives from other leaders through dialogue such as this, is one of the rewarding aspects of leadership. The importance self-awareness, presence management, personal resilience during periods of change and transition, and strategic risk-taking have all greatly enhanced my personal and professional growth, and I was honored for the opportunity to share this perspective with the participants in attendance.”
