It's Not What Happens To You - It's What You Do About It, is the title of W Mitchell's latest book, and it's the message this expert on responsibility, change and renewal shares with audiences around the world. He has served in the Marines and worked as a Gripman on the San Francisco cable cars; the former mayor of Crested Butte, Colorado, congressional nominee and radio and pubic television personality, has been described as a renaissance man. In 1975 Mitchell co-founded and chaired Vermont Castings, Inc., which put thousands of people to work.
 
As he delivers his message about Taking Responsibility For Change you realize he has reached a unique understanding, through personal experience, of how to deal with change; both the unexpected and the elusive. Having overcome near fatal burns and later paralysis from an airplane accident, two life threatening - and life changing experiences, he now talks to groups about the possibilities of the human mind and spirit.
 
Mitchell was awarded the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE); the pinnacle of recognition in platform speaking. He once told a patient at Craig Hospital in Denver; "Before I was paralyzed, there were 10,000 things I could do. Now there are 9,000. 1 can either dwell on the 1,000 I lost, or focus on the 9,000 1 have left."
 
With warmth, wisdom and wit, Mitchell keynotes, opens and closes meetings for organizations all over North America and around the world.
 
Mitchell earned an Executive Masters in Public Administration degree from the University of Colorado. He has offices in Colorado and Australia and lives in California and Hawaii.
