Meet Your Life Design Coach
Dallas Fuentes, MS, ACC
I create sacred spaces for self discovery, transformation and life design.
Life Design Coaching
High performance individuals have coaches. You should too.
As your life design coach, I accompany you on a journey of self-exploration and personal evolution. Through conversation, self-inquiry and the application of design thinking methodologies, you make breakthroughs, gain new insights, explore creative approaches, and get deep with your life.
My process includes use of the Socratic Method, a coaching technique that includes conversation and inquiry to deconstruct thoughts and facilitates new ways of seeing. This style of coaching helps you to get unstuck, fosters self examination, curiosity and open-mindedness. Socrates is famous for saying “the unexamined life is not worth living”. I agree.
Design Thinker
A well designed life is generative.
As a design thinker, I apply ideation, divergent and convergent thinking, pattern recognition, synthesis, analysis, prototyping and other human centered design tools to create life plans, conduct life reviews, design transitioning strategies for adults that are ready to embrace new life paradigms, repurpose and recalibrate their lives.
Futurologist
Where there is no vision, life doesn’t change.
I assist you in designing forecasts and scenarios for your future based on current trends and drivers. This action helps to expand your thinking and enables you see the many directions your life could take. You begin to embrace the potentialities, see the possibilities and feel hopeful for the future. When you think like a futurist, you envision your life flourishing.

Loving Life
I collect of vintage photographs and cobalt blue glass. I’m a digital minimalist, working on improving my chess game and am addicted to high end, platform sneakers. I have a fast growing collecting of wide brim, bespoke hats. I play the shekere and the kalimba, percussion instruments from West Africa. And yes, I have blue locs.
