Pamela Mitchell, CLC, is the CEO and Chief Vision Officer for The Reinvention Institute (TRI), and has successfully reinvented her career twice during the past fourteen years. Her first job was on Wall Street, where she ran on-site training and managed third-party partnerships for Knight-Ridder Financial. After five years (and a director's title), she left to pursue her dream of working in the entertainment field. She landed at the Discovery Channel as International Sales Manager for the Multimedia group and, after several years, worked her way up to Director of Sales & Marketing/Europe-Latin America, Africa/Middle East for all consumer products. She then moved to Playboy, where she served as Vice President of International for Playboy.com. In 2003 she turned down another international VP job to change careers yet again, and founded TRI. She is a certified coach and a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), the coaching industry's top professional organization. She also writes a bi-monthly column on women in business for Inc.com, the website for INC magazine.
Testimonials
Thanks to Pamela for being so candid and uplifting! It was refreshing to hear a thoughtful and practical approach to change. She made the idea of a career shift seem possible, and gave me inpiration to inject a sense of discovery in my professional life. I've reworked my resume and am steadily applying my free time to making that leap. Pamela is so much more than a cheerleader -- she's a champion of change.Elizabeth Jote, associate, Kleinman & Weinshank, LLP
