Allen O'Donoghue Motivation Interview Podcasts

Hi everyone and welcome back to Episode 2 of the Motivation Interview podcast. In this week's episode, I speak with Katie McKeown. Katie is a young lady who talks very openly about the challenges she has faced in trying to participate in football at a competitive level, a notion that most males don't ever have to think twice about, and how that inspired her to give back to her community and become the first female referee in the county of Louth. Katie discusses her determination and how that is helping her build a career in accountancy.

We hope you enjoy this conversation with this highly inspirational young lady...one that every young woman should listen to.
