“I’ve known Dallas since birth as he was one of my fathers closest college buddies. Little did I know when I was a child the huge role he would play in my life. Dallas has been by my side through the early loss of my father, a divorce, a near fatal elevator accident, and the rebuilding of everything time and time again… some through all the tragedy he has created a safe place for me to reflect and even celebrate life! Life is challenging but Dallas has helped me see the love and fun even in the darkest days.
I now live between 3 continents with my French Husband and 2 kids. I don’t have a chance to see Dallas as much as I’d like. But I know that wherever I am he has my back and with that I know everything will be ok.

Dallas’ insight, humor, honesty, twinkle of the eye and his sly Happy birthday toasts even when it’s not my birthday… make me smile and remember all is life is possible.” – Amy

“What a joyous experience to interact with such an amazing conversationalist, mentor and friend! Dallas gave me what no one else would when I was going through an extremely difficult time and that was clarity. I was floundering and almost bottoming out. I should have been looking for meaning in my experience and Dallas gave me that. He doesn’t preach or even guide. Dallas makes you look closely at being present and being your best self, however hard that may be when life is throwing darts at you. I did hear his words and was willing to be changed by what I heard. I walked away from the conversation that day feeling like all my troubles had been blown away. I felt in control of me again and ready to begin the next chapter in this fantastic journey that we call living. I had found my house of belonging. Without Dallas, I don’t think I would have acted so quickly or with such strength and purpose. Thank you for being so incredibly inspirational, intuitive and authentic. We are all so lucky to know this man that we call our friend, Dallas!!!” – Susie

“Dallas has made such a big impact in my life I named my son after him, need I say more!!” – Sheri and Dal

“At the 2014 Sun Valley Wellness Festival, I met an impressive gentleman named Dallas Reid Hall who gave a stunning talk on “True Love is Not for Cowards.” In my humble experience, many speakers/teachers/gurus/mentors of today pontificate in theoretical, flowery, poetic language not grounded in deep, personal experiences OR a successful life well-lived. This is not the case with Dallas. That is what makes him so valuable and unique. (Based on my own business and personal successes in life, I know the real deal when I see it. Dallas is the real deal.) In his Sun Valley talk, Dallas gave 10 simple, practical, easy-to-understand principles for succeeding in life. It was refreshing–and obvious–that his principles were based on successful, personal experiences from his own life!! His 10 principles were:

Honor how someone feels.
But, if someone tries pushing past your boundaries, say: “I know that’s important to you. NEVERTHELESS, I’m not going to do that (or I’ll have to pass).”
In a business situation, take care of yourself.
Thus, it’s important to learn how to fight.
This is your life. This is your party. Take care of yourself. I can’t live my life to please you.
If your feelings are conflicted, go with your gut and just say “no” to a request. Don’t compromise if it doesn’t feel right.
Be honest.
Both give and receive.
Discern, but don’t judge.
Be accountable and take responsibility.
These 10 elegant and simple principles are practical and realistic, not a bunch of “feel-good foo-foo.” The principles are based on his successful personal experiences from a life well-lived. Dallas loves sharing what he has learned about navigating through life. So, don’t hesitate to grab him as a mentor if you have the chance. I wish I had known Dallas when I was a younger man. He would have greatly accelerated my personal growth. ” – Paul

“Over the years that I have known Dallas, he has helped me immeasurably with various life situations. With his warm and engaging personality, I find he is easily approachable and always willing to listen. He listens with intent and remembers previous conversations, a rarity among people. With the passing of my oldest child 14 years ago, Dallas made time to “check-in” to see how I was coping. In those times of checking-in, he genuinely would ask, “how are you doing?”, and I knew I could honestly say. Whereas, when other people would ask, I knew they were just being polite. Another life situation Dallas has helped me with was when I was in the process of making the decision to divorce (after 23 years of marriage) and the subsequent divorce process. With Dallas’ third person perspective, he never told me what to do, but would gently ask questions, that would cause me to reflect and question myself. By doing this, I felt empowered. And again, he would check-in to see how I was and how my children were coping. He would call, email, SKYPE and/or visit in person. He always makes time to get together, to listen, share ideas & concerns, share a meal or hike. He creates a safe place to be heard and feel cared about. Dallas creates a safe place to remember and remind me what I am capable of. What Dallas does, in a nutshell, is he creates a safe place for me to let my guard down by being his genuine self. It is not easy to trust people, but with him, he is easy to trust. He is true to his word and stands by it. He is honest without being hurtful and his humor helps put things in perspective without judgment. With him I never feel stupid or feel like I am being judged. Bottom line is this … without Dallas listening ear and open heart, I would not be the person I am today. He stepped up and guided me through some truly life changing situations. I felt lost, unsure and afraid. He got me on track and continues to do so with such ease, it never feels like I am a burden or a pain-in-the-ass. Dallas is a rare breed and I wish there were more people like him. The world would be a better place with more Dallas’s walking the planet.” – Carrie

“Dallas cares! When I need his wise counsel, he holds space for me, allowing me to express my true feelings – my thoughts, fears and concerns. He doesn’t advise me as to what to do, but instead gives me his genuine feedback (he always asks permission first), which helps me get to a deeper place of self-understanding and acceptance – and resolution. Conversations with Dallas are affirming, they help me get in touch with my own inner strength and wisdom.

Dallas walks his talk. His own life-long quest for truth, along with the his commitment to personal and spiritual growth, willingness to take risks, his extensive life experience, as well as his belief that we should also relax, have fun and enjoy this precious gift of life, all make him an excellent teacher, mentor and life coach. He helps you chose love over fear.

Dallas is authentic – he makes no pretense that he has all the answers or lives a “perfect life”. He is real, he connects, he listens, he cares and he gives you the emotional support and love you need to help you along your unique path and open more fully to the joy and mystery of life!” – Karen

“Our friendship has in the past and still is very dear to me. You have given me confidence by truly listening to me and being very considerate of my toughts. What I will always remember is that you asked the question “What did you learn today?” By talking to you I have had so many eye-openers, because you always took on a refreshing and spiritual angle. This combined with your worldy wisdom has helped me separate the major from the minor issues. Moreover you do not shy away from profound subjects, are a super listener, and always able to provide your feedback in a humorful and relaxed way that always makes me feel perfectly at ease.” – Carlijn

“Universal Awareness”. That’s what I think of when reflecting on Dallas’ life and career. He has a unique way of seeing the world with a natural awareness that transcends most parochial thinking. That awareness is a god-given gift, a tool which he has intellectually harnessed to share with all of his friends and clients.

I have known Dallas since 1984. We have been through quite a few of the trials and tribulations that life has thrown at us; he has helped me successfully confront many of the personal life issues which we all encounter. Dallas is a very intuitive individual who is able to connect to people in a personal, yet non-threatening way. I highly recommend seeking out Dallas for quality interaction in your life. Time spent with Dallas is time well spent.” – Robbie

“I have known Dallas for many years. He has been an important person in my life and just recently he served as the best man at my wedding. Dallas lives up to his word and has always been somebody that I can count on.

Dallas is a great listener. Whether it’s been talk about relationships, career, dealing with difficult emotions, or just ways to celebrate and enjoy life, Dallas helps me to get more in touch with the path that’s right for me. Instead of advising, Dallas creates a safe space where I feel I can talk openly, knowing that what I say will be accepted without judgement. He provides excellent feedback, based on his wisdom, knowledge of human potential, and years of experience traveling the world. Dallas is very present, connected and caring in our conversations.

Dallas emphasizes a life of love instead of fear, and he lives up to that credo. He is very interested in our journey of life and how to make it more meaningful and joyful. I thoroughly recommend him as a mentor, and a great person to have in your life!” – Eric

“Dallas is a man of his word. Being a young male, trying to figure out this world, I had a lot of questions that needed to be answered. I turned to Dallas as he let me talk through my situations and gave me feedback to what he would do. Knowing that he had my back and giving me the emotional support that I needed, allowed me to grow into a man. I would be in a much different place if Dallas were not there to help me out.” – David

“Dallas has a unique talent for explaining complex life topics such as fear, boundaries and love in a way that is understandable, helpful and relatable. His topics are also relevant to current events and common challenges. There are many people in the helping professions that have this knowledge but cannot connect with people in the caring and genuine way that Dallas does naturally. He is a student of life and has a PhD in communicating this knowledge from a space of unconditional openness and acceptance of himself and his listeners. Many people struggle with shame and self-criticism, and Dallas does a great service with his podcast to help others understand their humanity and value, and equally important how to get past barriers so they can lead happy, purposeful lives.” – Lisa

“Dallas Hall has been a grounding conversationalist for me, for many years. He provides the space for me to not just feel, but to truly be at ease to express and reflect my feelings. This unconditional respect has been the foundation of all of our interactions, and talks. I cannot quantify how grateful I am for his ability to support and challenge me, to come to my own conclusions.” – Kim

“Dallas has been a friend and mentor for many decades. Fearless in broaching any subject especially the challenging ones we all have in life. He always listens with an open heart and mind and offers sage wisdom and advice. Advice rooted in his many experiences and studies we call this game of life.” – Maggie

“I’ve been fortunate to have Dallas as a trusted friend and mentor for over 30 years. From my teenage years up to today, he has always listened, shared experiences, given perspective and helped me to better face life’s challenges.
Dallas fundamentally understands and cares about people, and he has certainly made a difference in my life.” – Kurt
