While working as high level executive in the corporate world, Michael O’Brien had a near death experience during a company conference in New Mexico. As a result of this incident, Michael uncovered his niche of coaching business leaders. Now he runs Peloton CC.  In this episode of OE, Michael shares his incredible story along with actionable advice that will help you discover your own niche.

In this episode Michael and I talk about:

• Michael’s background working for pharmaceutical companies in the corporate world.

• Living the American Dream on the outside, but struggling to keep a healthy family / life balance on the inside.

• Convincing yourself that happiness will come after the “next” thing (promotion, work project ending, etc.) occurs, instead of striving for happiness “now.”

• Michael’s “Last Bad Day”

• The vivid memory Michael has of his near death accident.

• Illusion of control.

• Michael’s commitment to lead a different life after working through the anger over what happened to him.

• Showing up with an attitude of possibility.

• Lizard Brain (emotional center of our brain)

• If leaders in corporations can show up differently, it would change lives.

• Actionable advice: find alone time! Think about what drives you, how you’re showing up in the world, how you’re showing up for friends and family.

• Your vibe attracts your tribe.

• Power of the question “and?”

• Being present in the moment.
