Stage IV Lymphoma Survivor.
Maureen O'Brien, CEO, MOF, is a non-traditional leader. Her first post college job was selling building products to contractors in the Chicago area. Following the birth of her first son in 1986, O'Brien launched her own exterior remodeling company called O'Brien & Son, Inc. Four children later, that business is in its 36th year.
Intrigued by the story of this engaging woman and her choice to play with the "big boys," speaking requests came for O'Brien to share her story. Armed with a degree in education and the equivalent of a PhD in hard knocks, O'Brien is an internationally sought-after business strategist, speaker and author, and is considered to be an expert in Transformational Leadership, Entrepreneurial Thinking, and Relationship Selling. She is certified in the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument, a tool that measures whole brain thinking and diversity of thought.
In 2009, O'Brien launched the Global Women's Leadership Forum® (www.globalwlf.com), a certified WBE, focused on equipping women with the competencies, confidence, and courage to lead. In 2017, the company made a stragegic and intentional pivot, and began identifying as the Global Wisdom & Leadership Forum in order to ncrease the engagement and involvement of white men to the conversation.
O'Brien is a recipient of the Dr. MLK Award for the Acceleration of Women in Leadership by the IL Commission on Diversity and Human Relations. She has been named "One of the Most Powerful and Influential Women in IL" by the National Diversity Council.
O'Brien has authored three books: "And the Children Watched—A Reflection on the COVID-19 Pandemic", "Get your Big Girl Pants on and SELL Something: A Handbook for Women (and Really Progressive Men) In Sales", and "Oneness. Wellness. Wholeness: 4 Ways to TAKECARA U®!" Books available for purchase on Amazon.com. She is currently working on a new book called, "With the Time We Have Left."
O'Brien's greatest success came in 2016. She battled Stage IV Lymphoma ... and WON.
Brand Promise: Information. Inspiration. Tools for Implementation.
