About David Lim

Led first successful Singapore Mt Everest Expedition
Over 70 mountain ascents, including first ascents
Founder of Everest Motivation Team, leadership development consultancy
David Lim is a renowned mountaineer and leader who gained recognition for leading the first successful Singapore Mt Everest Expedition in 1998. Despite facing a rare nerve disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome shortly after his return, which left him paralyzed, David made an inspiring comeback to climbing. He has led over 70 mountain ascents, including two expeditions to Mt Everest and numerous first ascents in Southeast Asia. In addition to his climbing achievements, David has accomplished notable feats such as crossing the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt desert, on foot and unsupported. He is also the founder of Everest Motivation Team, Inc., a company that assists organizations in team building and leadership development through consulting, speaking engagements, and programs. David's extensive corporate experience includes positions in marketing, journalism management, and multimedia. He is a respected adjunct lecturer at INSEAD Business School and the author of several bestselling books, including 'Mountain to Climb' and 'Against Giants'. His latest book, 'How Leaders Lead: 71 Lessons in Leading Yourself and Others', has been well-received and is currently in its second printing.
