BOOK
BREAKTHROUGH.
Within a week of its release in May 2025, Omar Sharif’s Breakthrough became an Amazon Top 100 bestseller. A powerful and inspiring guide for change, it weaves together raw stories, lived wisdom, and practical frameworks to help readers think differently, perform under pressure, and take control of their future.
In Breakthrough, Omar shares his 6 key tools for success: from finding your passion, seeking the right friendships, and knowing your worth, to building resilience, avoiding short-lived wins, and creating a meaningful vision for the future. Leaders and teams alike will find strategies they can apply immediately to make better decisions, open doors that once seemed closed, and embrace a mindset that drives sustainable success.
One verified reviewer wrote: “I originally bought this for my son, but I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. Omar’s story is raw, inspiring, and deeply human. His mindset and perspective reminds me of David Goggins—relentless, disciplined, unshakeable, but with a spiritual lens that brings heart and healing into the mix.”
CONTRIBUTION
IMPACT BEYOND
Creating shifts isn’t just what Omar does in the room, it’s a value his family has lived for generations. In Burma, that means providing vulnerable children and families with meals, care, and hope for tomorrow. This video shares part of that story
Our story began over 50 years ago, when Omar’s grandfather recognised the urgent needs of orphaned and impoverished children in Burma. What started as a family-run initiative has grown into a mission that continues today, helping young people access food, shelter, and opportunities to build a better future.
This purpose fuels everything Omar does. Proceeds from his bestselling book Breakthrough help provide meals for children in need, and a portion of every speaking engagement goes directly to this cause. For Omar, leadership is not just about inspiring change in the room, but creating shifts that leave a lasting legacy beyond it.
