About

Jim Alstott is a Mindfulness and Transformational Coach who founded The Corporate Mindfulness Connection, empowering professionals to reduce stress, increase focus, and unlock their full potential. His journey into the mindfulness space stemmed from his own health and wellness transformation. After losing over 150 pounds and overcoming the physical and emotional challenges of obesity, Jim discovered the incredible power of mindfulness techniques in achieving balance and fulfillment.

“The mind-body connection is so critical yet often overlooked in the corporate world,” Jim observed after years in the recruiting and executive search industry. “I saw firsthand the burnout and cluttered mindsets holding people back." Determined to share the profound impacts a mindfulness practice had in his own transformation, Jim earned certifications in Transformational Mastery and is a Master Coach in CIJ Cultural Catalyst Training and founded The Corporate Mindfulness Connection.

Through 1-on-1 leadership and group coaching programs, The Corporate Mindfulness Connection guides clients to de-stress, gain emotional regulation skills, unlock creativity, and optimize their performance. “It’s incredibly fulfilling to equip high-achievers to thrive holistically in their careers through presence, focus, and customized mindfulness techniques,” he says.

Jim holds a degree in Vocal Performance and infuses his sessions with inspiration from the arts while also leveraging methodologies from Stanford’s acclaimed Creativity in Business Master’s Program. When he’s not coaching overworked executives to live in flow, you can find Jim continuing to flex his creative muscles as the host of the Drop the Needle Podcast. His unique blend of mindfulness, wellness expertise, performance art, and business savvy make the programming at The Corporate Mindfulness Connection truly one-of-a-kind.
