His work has appeared in Forbes, The New York Times, The CEO Magazine and The Huffington Post. His latest book, “This Land of Strangers: The Relationship Crisis That Imperils Home, Work, Politics and Faith,” has been called “the most important book of the decade” by Rick Boyatzis, co-author of Primal Leadership. A frequent guest on PBS, Hall’s recent appearance with NY Times columnist, David Brooks, received a Telly Award for excellence. Hall currently coaches CEOs and leadership teams in companies and nonprofits. For the last decade he has led an annual executive leadership conference for the chief executives of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Austin College, Mo-Ranch, Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services, Shriner University and Texas Presbyterian Foundation.
