Work From The Inside Out 120: The Power of Fearlessness with Jacqueline Wales
Jacqueline Wales is a motivational speaker, professional coach, and the author of three books. She has helped countless people become more empowered, confident, and resilient. Her work focuses on leaders who dig into self-discovery, take accountability for their actions, and responsibility for their decisions. Jacqueline challenges herself daily to be better and challenges her clients to break through boundaries, and excuses to achieve results.
Jacqueline has explored human behavior and asked tough questions to discover hard truths. She draws on her own traumatic, abusive childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland where she experienced a great deal of fear and uncertainty growing up in a home where alcoholism was present. Jacqueline got her first job at 15, and left home at 16, trying to reinvent her life in London. At 20, Jacqueline was pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. The next ten years were a miasma, as she describes it. She went to college, got a degree, got married, divorced, had another child, and moved from London to San Francisco.
It wasn’t until she was in her 30s that Jacqueline found her ‘real self’. Today, Jacqueline has been married to her second husband for 42 years, is the mother of five adult children and has lived in many great spots across the world, including Bali, Amsterdam, LA, New York, and Paris.
