 Challenge.
We all face challenges of varying degrees every day, whether
it's professional or personal, large or small, immediate or over
time. And change -- some invited, some unasked for-- is our
biggest challenge.
The title of W Mitchell's latest book is also his philosophy on
life -- "It's not what happens to you...it's what you do about
it." This expert on taking responsibility for change shows his
audiences not only how to gain perspective, but how to cope, and
even better, to prosper with personal and professional change.
Bio
W Mitchell knows about challenge, change and courage -- all
first hand. He speaks to you about the battles and the victories
of life. From co-founding a metal casting company that put
thousands to work, from his election as mayor and congressional
nominee, from a fiery motorcycle accident that left him burned
over 65% of his body, and from the airplane crash that took away
his ability to walk, Mitchell now soars above the rest with
grace, good humor and gumption.
Mitchell speaks with passion about the human spirit. He focuses
on the positives of change--taking responsibility--and the
proven result...himself. "Before I was paralyzed there were
10,000 things I could do; now there are 9,000. I can either
dwell on the 1,000 I've lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left."
Listen to this powerful story. Across the globe, from the Indian
Ocean to Indiana, from Presidents to Parliaments and from
non-profits to multinational giants, audiences herald his
thought-provoking words about perseverance and becoming more
than just a survivor. He delivers from the heart, with warmth,
wit and wisdom. You'll hear an unforgettable speaker with an
invaluable message
