Unapologetically Raw and Real!
People who know Jacqueline call her FEARLESS! And she has earned the title. Over several decades she has been challenged by self-doubt and the fear that she is not good enough. It led Jacqueline down some very dark alleys that almost sabotaged her life. The journey to find her way to a healthy existence was a long one, with over forty years invested in self-growth, and she is still growing.
As a coach and trusted advisor to many highly accomplished people including academics, entrepreneurs, scientists and corporate executives, Jacqueline has helped them defeat self-doubt and resistance to change that stopped many from taking more risks and thus achieve more.
Clients describe her as candid, empathetic and down to earth—an insightful guide who genuinely cares about helping people grow. The term “unaplogetically raw and real” has been used more than once!
Jacqueline has written extensively on self-awareness, published three books including The Fearless Factor, The Fearless Factor @ Work, and a novel, When The Crow Sings, and created three online programs Transformational Strategies for Success, From Chaos to Clarity and Leading With Trust
She is a TEDx speaker on Unleashing the Power of Fear, a professionally trained singer, earned a black belt in Shotokan karate at 49, and took up Crossfit at the age of 63.
Jacqueline's biggest achievement is her family of four children, three grandchildren and 44 years of marriage!
If you and your team are ready to go From Fearful to Fearless, Jacqueline is the way!
KEYNOTE
In her keynote, “The Fearless Factor,” Jacqueline takes audiences back to her childhood in the impoverished Leith neighborhood of Edinburgh, Scotland. As a child, Jacqueline dreamed of defying the odds to become a writer and a singer.
She escaped generations of violence and abuse in search of security and happiness in all the wrong places, leaving behind her a trail of abandoned children and a pattern of self-abuse that threatened her life.
But that’s just where her story begins.
Jacqueline’s life story has taught her that fear matters to your success. It can take many forms—shame, self-doubt, regret, and countless other anxious lies we tell ourselves.
But when confronted, fear can also be the driving force that propels you toward the life you were meant to live. “The Fearless Factor” teaches audiences to confront their fears no matter what form they take, so that they can fully claim their authority and be fearless in pursuit of their dreams.
“The Fearless Factor” helps audiences unlock:
The strength to fully claim their authority.
The courage to take the next step to discover and honor who they really are.
The will to overcome the negative emotions holding them back.
The mindset shift needed to create the desired success they want.
The power to be fearless.
