Máire learned a valuable lesson about passion when she was 15, but didn't value that lesson until much later, when she started to become irked by all the social media posts telling her to 'Find your passion and never work a day in your life!'. She remembered that lesson, and started applying it to her life. And now lives a life of passion. She works - and plays - at something she loves. She is a professional speaking coach, speechwriter and communications trainer. She is also an award-winning Toastmaster.
