Hi, I’m Jim Mitchell, and I like to call myself a practical transformationalist. What does that mean? It means I take the “woo-woo” out of learning, growth, and transformation—whether it’s for individuals, forums, groups, or teams—and replace it with real, actionable practices that deliver immediate results. These results translate to greater effectiveness, efficiency, and power across all areas of your life based on higher levels of trust, truth, openness, compassion, authenticity, and vulnerability in all of our relationships, no matter where in our many lives.
I’m committed to offering practical tools that help you improve your work, family life, relationships, and overall well-being. These are practices that enable you to show up for yourself and those that matter most to you in work, family, and in life in a deliberate, conscious, and impactful way—practices that foster deep, tangible transformation in your many relationships and that immediately add depth, meaning, and significance.
The best part? These practices are so effective they can feel like magic—though they’re anything but! They’re just you becoming a Better Human. And that’s exactly what I’m in the business of: helping people become better humans.
I currently reside in Tempe, Arizona—though you’ll often find me in seat 2C on an American Airlines flight!
Deep Experience
How did I become a ‘practical transformationalist’? By taking the long road! That road has taken me through:
- 18 years in the ‘corporate prison’ (15 of those in middle and upper management at a top five bank)
- 35-plus years of doing my own deep transformation work, or “Soulwork“
- 32-plus years of staffing, then leading transformational men’s, boys, women and mens’, and convict work around the world
- 18 years of working with YPO/YPO Gold Member and Spouse Forums
I’ve put in many thousands of hours leading transformational workshops and retreats, and have spent much time coaching and guiding individuals and teams. For fun after work, my special passion and avocation has been supporting and leading rites of passage for men around the world—from Mexico to England to South Africa to Australia; for lifers in Folsom Prison; for adolescent boys; and for African American men and women in the deep south. I am fiercely passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. And my own.
