CEO & Founder | Mindful Career Path

 Alicia Ramsdell is a career development strategist and organizational mindfulness practitioner who partners with leaders to strengthen employee clarity, engagement, and retention.

As the Founder and CEO of Mindful Career Path, Alicia works at the intersection of career development and sustainable performance - helping organizations create space for confidential, structured career conversations that reduce burnout risk and support long-term growth.

With nearly two decades of corporate experience and a background in higher education, Alicia understands the pressures leaders and teams face. She has worked inside complex organizations, managed competing priorities, and navigated career transitions firsthand. That experience informs her grounded, practical approach.

Rather than offering surface-level coaching, Alicia integrates:

• Career strategy and long-term development planning
• Strength identification and professional positioning
• 30-60-90 day goal mapping
• Mindfulness-based stress regulation tools
• Organizational insight reporting for leadership
   

Her work supports employees in thinking clearly about their future - and supports organizations in understanding workforce development themes before disengagement becomes attrition.
