The Reinvention Institute

In today’s world, the ability to reinvent your career is the new--and only--form of job security.

The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention, by TRI Founder & CEO Pamela Mitchell, is the first book to give you all the necessary tools for navigating the full arc of career change between different fields.

In it, Pamela guides you through the process of identifying your skill sets, repackaging your experience and thinking outside the box in order to manifest the very real potential you have to start anew. She reveals the secrets behind a successful reinvention, and gives you valuable advice that answers all your tactical questions about navigating the roadblocks, getting traction in a new industry, and managing your fears. You’ll get a feel for how it works in the “real world” through real-life success stories, where Pamela breaks down the steps they took (and the mistakes they made) to reinvent their careers, so you can see up close how it’s done.

Clear-headed, calming, practical and thorough, The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention is the ideal guidebook to transforming your career and finding your way to a life you love.
