E19: Katie Keich - Part 1: The One Thing Holding Women Back

If YOU’VE ever been an athlete or you’re raising CHILDREN who are athletes, this episode is for you.

In this episode, my guest is a former basketball player turned coach, business consultant, entrepreneur, and my friend - Katie Keich.

When I met Katie 6 years ago, I could just tell she’s one of those women with a rocket ship strapped to her back. Her career is already so impressive, yet she constantly pushes the limits of what she’s capable of. She sets goals and reaches them, sets more goals and reaches them. No matter the challenge, she’s up for it. She’s confident in her ability to figure it out. Adversity? No problem, she’ll get around it. She’s got that “IT” factor. That grit that doesn’t let her give up. And today, she’s gonna tell us where that comes from!

Katie & I covered a lot of ground during our chat, so again, I’ve broken the conversation into 2 parts.

In part 1, Katie will walk us through her career journey from corporate executive to entrepreneur. Katie’s been in rooms with some pretty powerful women and she’s spoken on some very BIG stages. Be sure to listen all the way through, because she’s going to reveal what she’s found to be the ONE THING that’s REALLY holding women back. It’s the one common theme she’s heard across all events, all industries, all levels of success, even across corporate America and professional sports. And it’s not what you think it is!

And then come back for Part 2, where Katie's got BREAKING NEWS about her NEW BOOK! And she's introducing us to her new project, “Pass The Torch”, a very high-profile mentorship program for athletes at all levels. She’s got an open call for current and former athletes that want to join the program and help her start a movement. You could be one of those people!
