cover story
Falling on your
face still moves
you forward
BY CHERYL HARBOUR
W
hen media mogul Pat Mitchell was a young girl,
she was imbued with her grandmother's teachings. The favorite was this gem: "Even if you fall
on your face, that's a good first step because at least it's
forward movement."
And move forward she did - indeed. Pat's a trailblazer and
a relentless advocate for making the world a better place. She
was the first woman to serve as president and CEO of PBS. She's
also the former president of CNN Productions, where she was
executive producer of hundreds of hours of documentaries
and specials, some of which received 35 Emmy Awards and five
Peabody Awards. Currently she is president and CEO of Pat
Mitchell Media and TEDWomen.
Even with all of that, Pat reports lovingly her favorite credential is being a grandmother - and as with everything
else in her life, she's done that in a big way. She has 12
grandchildren!
She says she and her husband Scott have been fortunate
enough to experience the joy of having their sons and daughters and their spouses and offspring join them in uniting into a
"loving, generous, open-hearted family." And no matter what
else Pat is involved in, she makes the most of time with those
grandkids, ranging in age from 2 to 26.
