Sydney Hall

Sydney Hall is a true success story and the embodiment of the American Dream. Born into hopeless poverty in The Philippines, her birth mother lived on a roadside in a cardboard box. Still an infant, Hall was adopted by Americans Ron and Linda Hall and was spared a dismal future that the dangerous streets of Manila could all but guarantee.

Hall understood, from a very young age, how fortunate she was. Grade school had nonetheless presented her with another daunting challenge, as Hall was diagnosed with severe dyslexia, which all but crippled her ability to read. Standing out as one of the very few non-Caucasian children in her Utah classroom, Hall was subject to teasing and cruel name-calling, which exacerbated her anxiety and reluctance to participate in lessons.

Undeterred, Hall dug in and eventually defeated her reading disability. She went on to excel in both soccer and gymnastics, advancing to Elite/ODP/Olympic level competition. When her athletic career came to a close, Hall became Artistic Director/Choreographer for million-selling recording artists on Universal, Disney and Sony/Epic Records, as well as the NBA’s Utah Jazz dancers.

Circumstances arose that left Hall a single mother, and she once again met the challenge to persevere and create new opportunities to support her two kind hearted and loving girls. Hall established Sydfemmelle, an all-female design and construction company.

Hall has shared her stories of personal courage, inspiration and prosperity at events for corporate titans such as IBM, Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney.

Hall is able to touch the inner core of anyone looking to find more happiness, those looking to revamp their career and encourage change within any soul who's working to improve upon their life.
