Motivational Presentations
David Lim knows something about leadership and overcoming obstacles.
In 1998, he made history as leader of the 1st Singapore Mt Everest Expedition. The landmark climb captured the nation’s imagination about the art of the possible, and ignited the need for calculated risk-taking, courage and imagination in the flat, tropical island nation of Singapore.
A week after his triumphant return from Everest, he was struck down by the rare nerve disorder, Guillain Barre Syndrome, and paralysed completely from eyes down. Spending six weeks on a ventilator and six months in hospital, he emerged permanently disabled from the ordeal. He regained his life through sheer will and focus, and made a successful return to the great mountains. Interviewed in media for his leadership and expedition skills, he has been covered many times in The Wall Street Journal, The Straits Times, CNN, Channelnewsasia and National Geographic Channel (Asia). In 2012, The Straits Times newspaper described him as “unstoppable”.

I enjoyed your session and benefited from it. Particularly the interactive style you have adopted and the exercise you engaged participants in on the selection of your Mt Everest team for final push. The use of actual life examples was powerful to illustrate each of your strategic points. For me, your session of 90 minutes or more just flew by.
