From Overcome Your Obstacles | Tracey McCann | TEDxBallyroanLibrary · · TEDxTalks
“How many of you have ever felt as though you are stuck in a box, as though there is an obstacle hindering your progression—you are trapped and unable to escape?”
On , Tracey Mccann, Chief Financial Officer of Ryanair DAC at Ryanair, spoke about obstacles during Overcome Your Obstacles | Tracey McCann | TEDxBallyroanLibrary on TEDxTalks.
In a 2019 TEDx talk, Tracey McCann discussed her experience with a rare muscular condition, rapid-onset muscular dystonia with parkinsonism, which she said she developed at age eight. She stated that doctors predicted she would die within six weeks or be bedridden for life, but she described herself as still active. McCann said she is a two-time bestselling author, with her first book becoming a number one Amazon bestseller within 48 hours, and that she spoke in China in early 2019. She encouraged the audience to "overcome your obstacles" and "face everything head-on," asserting that people have free will and should take responsibility for their lives.
