Not every day brings a moment quite like this.
ClarityVP’s Valerie O’Keeffe had the privilege of meeting Dr Norah Patten — set to become Ireland’s first astronaut — at John Paul Construction’s International Women’s Day 2026 event.
Hearing Dr Patten share her extraordinary story was both humbling and energising. Despite the remarkable path she is on, her warmth and groundedness left a lasting impression. A true inspiration — not just for women in business, but for anyone with a bold ambition and the courage to pursue it.
