Growing up, Riley Kehoe was taught that pressure reveals character so with every hardship, she should, “thank the trial.” Her parents’ commitment to live incredible lives with integrity created a level of trust that would ultimately be tested in the most traumatic of ways. At the age of 10, her family was on vacation in Thailand when the Boxing day Tsunami struck. By focusing on the voice of her father yelling, “Run” that she had learned to obey without hesitation and telling herself, “One more step” over and over, she was able to survive a tragedy that killed over 290, 000 people. Riley uses her several close encounters with death and the hard knocks she’s experienced in life to inspire audiences all over the world in podcasts, speaking events, social media and her recent TEDx talk titled, “An Insight I Almost Died For."  @rileywithcourage
