Shannon O'Brien​

I'm Shannon, founder of Whole U., a career and life coaching practice I've built since 2012 to help purpose-driven job seekers and entrepreneurs find their life's work. Before that, I spent years advising students at Harvard and MIT, and earned a Rotary World Peace Fellowship to study in Tokyo. I host the Whole U. podcast and YouTube channel, and I've spoken at Babson, Equinox, and Rotary International. I've traveled to 36 countries and grew up partly in Geneva, which shaped how I think about people and culture. Ask me about career clarity and purpose, navigating a career change, holistic wellness, and building a coaching practice.
