Shannon O'Brien, M.A., Ed.M.
Lead Career & Life Coach of Whole U.






Dear Fellow Seeker,
I'm here to help you find career alignment - while also maintaining joy and freedom in your life.
My own [authentic] career journey began after September 11th, 2001. As a graduating college senior, I had attended personal development seminars that helped me commit to "integrity" as a guiding principle. So I went on to pursue:
- An M.A. as a Rotary World Peace Fellow in Tokyo, Japan, and an
- Ed.M. in Technology, Innovation & Education from Harvard University.
After working 7 years at Harvard and MIT (promoting diversity and invention respectively), I founded Whole U. in 2012. I've coached hundreds mission-driven career seekers to "pursue their life's work" - through planning projects, applying for jobs and grants, networking internationally, and most importantly - being true to themselves.
I was born in the US, grew up 10 years in Europe, and have traveled to 36 countries - and I continue to open my mind to new people, cultures, and what is inherent in each of us.
I look forward to working with you!
☮️ & ❤️,
