Regina Mitchell:  

Life has been an interesting journey filled with joy, excitement, success, accomplishment, disappointment, lots of laughter and lots of tears and challenge...but most of all, personal growth. As most of you know, I married right out of high school, moved to the Bay Area in Northern California and had two sons. Because I married for all of the wrong reasons, that did not last. I got involved with a guy who I never married but, together we raised my two children and his daughter. I spent 20 years in beautiful CA experiencing life. I modeled for a while, went to college for a while, and began my professional career. I've never known anyone to say that they wanted to be a sales person when they grew up, but I stumbled into sales, discovered I was good at it, and was quickly promoted into executive management and spent almost 30 years of my career in sales. I've worked mostly in high-tech companies like, Sun Microsystems and Hewlett Packard. I've had many awesome opportunities throughout my career. I've traveled to many places within the US and international places like, Bali and Singapore. I've presented to many CEO's and other C level individuals; I've hired, terminated, trained and coached many employees over the years. I've also experienced many failures and disappointments throughout my career but I've learned from every one of them. I've acknowledged and corrected what needed correction and I have moved on to bigger and more challenging opportunities. My mother came to live with me in 1988-89. She took ill in 1990 which left her needing more and more fulltime care. I quit my job and became her primary care provider until her death in 1996 with the help of my children, sisters, nieces and nephews. During that time, we still needed to eat so I started my own sales and marketing consulting firm. I was very successful as a business owner and was also able to maintain the care that my mother needed. After her death, I needed a change and decided to go back into corporate. I landed at Sun Microsystems who moved me to Denver Colorado where I have lived for the past 10 years. If you've never been surrounded by a mountain range like the Rockies, you don't know what you are missing. They are absolutely breath taking. I very much miss the waters of the Pacific, but the clean air and breath...Expand for more
