In The Fearless Factor @ Work, Jacqueline Wales gives readers a priceless roadmap that takes them on a journey to better relationships and greater success.” –Dr. Tasha Eurich, New York Times bestselling author of Insight and Bankable Leadership "Jacqueline Wales has taken a fresh look at what it means to be fearless, build trust, and become more self-aware. This smart and no-nonsense book will stimulate you to be a better version of who you are." –Dorie Clark, author of Reinventing You and executive education faculty, Duke University Fuqua School of Business “Having spent a long and productive career enduring poor leadership and doing my best to be a decent one, I related deeply with Jacqueline’s observations that effective leaders are ‘forged in the steel of experience’ rather than born. She defines the fears that hold us back with great clarity, and I half expected FDR to emerge from the book to declare, ‘all we have to fear is fear itself.’ Readers who take the time to do the deep dive will benefit enormously from her wisdom.” –Woody Shiflett, Blue Ridge Consulting “We all have fears. What makes this book compelling is that we learn the philosophies and mechanics to help overcome the self-limiting beliefs that make these fears seem real. Jacqueline provokes us to question who we want to be as a person and as a leader, and what a life worth living looks like. Reading The Fearless Factor @ Work will encourage you to be a better person and make a positive contribution to the world.” –Charles Bernard, CEO, Criteria for Success "What a joy it is to read such a clearly written, helpful, inspiring book. Author Jacqueline Wales has divided her book into short chapters so you can dip in and derive value even if you're busy and only have a few minutes to spare. You'll love her relatable stories and actionable insights. Highly recommended." –Sam Horn, CEO of the Tongue Fu! Training Institute
