Mitchell first ventured into social impact, values-based business as a teenager, producing benefit rock and jazz concerts in Westport, CT. where he grew up.
His last concert was for a Presidential candidate whose platform was world peace. This and the previous concerts were so successful that when he went into the field of psychology, he stayed active as an entrepreneur, especially in promoting wellness & green tech, products and services designed to make positive impacts on health and environment.
He learned the principle then as a teenager that one can do well by doing good, and his work has been guided by this. He is a systems/holistic thinker.
Relationships and communications, whether in business or at home, are core and focus of Mitchell’s work as a coach, media host & entrepreneur.
Mitchell has facilitated groups in Stress Reduction, conflict resolution and communication nationally and internationally. He has taught Qi-Gong, Meditation and Stress Management/Biofeedback at retreats across the U.S., the Caribbean and Mexico.
