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.
