All in with Tiffany Hall

TIFFANY HALL

All in at

50

Beauty, grace, humility, and kindness are a few words that come to mind when I think of Tiffany Hall, our featured woman of May. When Tiffany Hall enters a room, she catches your attention with a radiating confidence. With some people you meet in life, you know immediately that you’re going to gain from the interaction with them. When I first met Ms. Hall, I had that feeling, and I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know her better.

As the new Community Engagement & Events Manager at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Hall brings a new energy, a sense of community, and her love of Lawrence to this role. “Lawrence is a great town for a single person. You can really navigate, and there are always things to do,” said Tiffany when reflecting on her time here.

After living in Topeka for several years and raising her children Paige and Brooke, whom she describes with heartfelt pride and admiration, she made the decision to return to her alma mater in Lawrence as soon as they graduated. She jokes that she

had her bags packed and boxes loaded at the time of their graduation. Always smiling and welcoming everyone she meets, her charismatic personality can be perceived in only extremes. When it comes to Hall women, Tiffany emphasizes, “You either dig us or we’re a lot.”

Awakening in her mid-40s, Tiffany realized that life is too short to not go All-In with everything she decided to do. She re-focused on herself, made the decision not to waiver, and committed to her life with renewed vigor! And, whether that be with her new role at the Lawrence Chamber, her volunteer work, her friendships or her faith, she surely seems ALL-IN!

Gaining confidence through life’s trials and tribulations - divorced twice, single parent after her first husband’s passing and a not-sofriendly second parting of the ways - she believes that life and challenges occur so you can “learn from them and become equipped with the tools you need to face the next obstacle.”

Tiffany Hall celebrated her 50th birthday just a few short weeks ago, and while fittingly reminiscing on her semi-centennial, as well as her excitement about Lawrence, she exclaims, “I have an Amazing life! It’s a life that I’ve built with the support of family and friends, and the environment here has really allowed me to thrive!”

She credits her ability in overcoming personal adversity to allowing herself to feel what she feels - experiencing the emotions, joy, and grief, and then getting over it in the way that works for her. Ms. Hall describes her Faith as an important element of her strength, as well.

An avid traveler, Tiffany has journeyed around the world once and has no intentions of slowing down. She proudly boasts of having been to every continent except for Antarctica. She loves the adventure - from Cuba to Matchu Pichu and the Galápagos Islands – as she explains, “Every time you travel, you open the door to new opportunities!”

Hall wants her daughters and other young women to “know who you are and don’t be defined by other people’s expectations” Her final words of wisdom to our audience is “ Trust your gut, she may be a bitch sometimes-but she knows what’s up.”

Salute, Tiffany Hall! You’re an Inspiration to us all!
