Michael O’Brien is a beacon of resilience and mindfulness in today’s fast-paced world. Having spent 22 years in pharma/healthcare, he served as a sales representative, marketing director, and executive committee leader overseeing sales, marketing, and operations. Today, he works as a certified executive coach, speaker, meditation teacher, and endurance athlete who guides others to Pause, Breathe, and Reflect.

Michael’s life exemplifies the power of personal growth. His journey was transformed by what he calls his ‘Last Bad Day’ – a near-death cycling accident that became the catalyst for change. This experience, combined with years of navigating the high-pressure corporate executive world, fueled his passion for helping others manage stress and achieve their goals through mindfulness.

In 2022, Michael demonstrated his teachings in action by completing a coast-to-coast bicycle ride across America, powered by the very mindfulness techniques he advocates.

As the creator of the Pause Breathe Reflect Meditation app, Michael provides accessible tools for integrating mindfulness into daily life. His approach stems from the belief that small, consistent practices can prevent fleeting bad moments from derailing entire days.

Michael’s distinctive combination of corporate insight, athletic discipline, and meditation expertise makes him a sought-after coach and speaker. He guides individuals and organizations in cultivating resilience, enhancing focus, and unlocking their full potential.

Through his work, Michael inspires others to embrace mindfulness as a pathway to both personal and professional success. His message resonates clearly: with the right mindset and tools, we can all learn to stress less and accomplish more, one breath at a time.
