Jim Koetting

Jim Koetting is a business coach, consultant, and sought-after keynote leadership speaker who helps leaders and organizations break free from distraction, strengthen focus, and build healthier, more productive cultures. With decades of experience advising executives and building teams, Jim is known for turning complex leadership and human behavior challenges into clear, practical frameworks that drive real change.

Drawing from more than thirty-six years of sobriety and a lifetime of leadership experience, Jim offers a unique and compelling perspective on digital distraction and performance. He speaks openly about how modern technology hijacks the brain’s reward system, undermining focus, emotional maturity, and decision-making—often without people realizing what is happening. His work bridges neuroscience, behavior change, and leadership development in a way that resonates with both individuals and organizations.

Jim’s signature framework, PRECEPT—Pray, Read, Exercise, Capture, Engage, Practice, Think—provides a simple, repeatable path for reclaiming attention and living with intention in a world designed to distract. His insights are frequently sought after by business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams facing burnout, disengagement, and cultural breakdown.

A dynamic and engaging speaker, Jim combines storytelling, humor, and practical wisdom to challenge audiences to lead themselves first, become more present, and create meaningful impact at work and at home. He lives in Kansas City, Missouri, and speaks nationally on leadership, focus, addiction, and personal transformation.
