Breathe in…Breathe out… It’s time to stress less and Pause Breathe Reflect with Michael O’Brien. Michael is a qualified meditation teacher, executive coach, endurance athlete, and creator of the Pause Breathe Reflect Meditation and Relaxation app. He loves helping people accomplish hard things through mindfulness. He’s a survivor of a horrific near-death cycling accident that he calls his Last Bad Day and recently rode his bicycle across America. Michael was also the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association first male Chapter President and started his HBA journey in 2003
He has shared his personal transformational Last Bad Day (aka near-death cycling accident) story and leadership advice with Fortune 500 companies, at TEDx, and with Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Real Simple, ABC, and NBC.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why it's important to approach life at a slower pace than society expects.
- How you can "reset" throughout the day.
- Ways to incorporate breath work to help you become more self aware.
- The app he created to help you practically make changes.
- Advise for young entrepreneurs and high performing executives.
- Why "hustle culture" is a recipe for disaster (and why you don't need to do it to succeed)
