OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

W Mitchell, CPS, CSP, CPAE, author, TV host, business and conservation leader and internationally sought after speaker motivates and inspires audiences worldwide. His positive message about Taking Responsibility for Change, told with warmth and wit, makes Mitchell one of the most requested and respected professional speakers today. He has told his story about overcoming seemingly insurmountable disaster to millions around the globe, including Parade Magazine, Time Magazine, USA Today, Good Morning America, The Today Show and Maury Povich.

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.

Having overcome two life-threatening and life-changing accidents, W. Mitchell is The Man Who Won’t Be Defeated. His presentation, It’s Not What Happens To You, It’s What You Do With It deals with the vast possibilities of the human mind and spirit, and he has been awarded the highest recognition in professional speaking by the National Speakers Association.

You’ll meet the internationally-recognized mayor “who saved a mountain”; the co-founding chairman of a $65 million dollar company; a pilot, river rafter and sky diver. Together, we’ll create: VALUE Ongoing payback, long after the ovation has ended. OPPORTUNITY Gain perspective on adversity, recognize what you can do. EMOTIONS Laughter, tears, renewed spirit and “ah-has” REACTIONS “We’ll never forget”; “More than worth the investment”; “Amazing personal touch—it felt like we were having a conversation.” END RESULTS You will lock in the messages of your meeting.
