Does fear hold you back? Is fear keeping you from your goals and dreams? Do you want to differently navigate your fears to achieve your dreams? Our special guest Jacqueline Wales answers these and other questions about living and leading as a “fearless” leader and person. Jacqueline is the founder, creator and curator of The Fearless Factor. An astute observer of behavior, she’s endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and finds people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles to be incredibly interesting and courageous. She believes that being fearless is not the absence of fear but the courage to take the next step. As the author of When The Crow Sings, The Fearless Factor, The Fearless Factor @ Work, and soon to be published Fearless Women Leading The Way, Jacqueline’s explored human behavior and asked tough questions to discover hard truths for more than 35 years. While observing and talking with thousands of people over several decades, Jacqueline has come to understand that the challenges we all confront are not much different—no matter who you are or what you’re doing in life. Jacqueline’s a writer, singer, and global nomad who’s lived and traveled on three continents, developed a passion for martial arts earning a black belt in karate, and now an avid CrossFit athlete.
