Built for Influence: Dr. Jacquie Baly on Tenacity, Leadership & Trusting God’s Plan

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Jacquie Baly is a leadership strategist, educator, entrepreneur, author and public-service leader whose story is rooted in faith, hard work, family and perseverance. In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Jacquie joins David Pasqualone to share how she kept moving through difficult seasons—including years of financial pressure, entrepreneurship, motherhood, career transitions and returning to school later in life for her doctorate. Jacquie explains why leadership is not a linear path, why growth requires doing uncomfortable work, how organization and planning create momentum, and why great leaders should leave people and institutions better than they found them. The conversation also explores the lessons behind her book Built for Influence, raising high-performing children, mentoring the next generation, and the three things Jacquie does when pressure rises: pray, exercise and seek trusted counsel.
