About Donald Lim

Develop Yourself First

Every Being has life-long dreams and goals that comes with a specific purpose. “Some find it earlier, some find it later and some have never found it”. Finding this precious “Truth” is an important discovery in this journey we call “Life.” However, if we are able to live out this “Truth”, it would certainly be of greater privilege and fulfilment. Some will live it earlier, some will live it later, and some unfortunately will never live it.

The story of my corporate career started with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Montana, USA, in 1993. The illustrious career was primarily developed with 6 Banking Groups over a period of almost 20 years.

However, the most fulfilling aspect of  my career span was…..People Development. My belief is that in every organization, there are people worth developing, leaders to be groomed, and lives that will be transformed permanently.  Over the course of my journey, I have had the privilege to work with young and senior executives, using structured development programs and mentoring processes to develop leaders.

While in pursuit of making my belief a reality, I was given the opportunity to attend a Leadership Development program at the INSEAD Business School by one of the regional banks. I was so impassioned by my experience, that I am now a John Maxwell Team certified Leadership Trainer and Coach, fully committed to finding ways to enrich lives through Leadership Coaching.

We cannot deny that every individual has the potential and capacity to be developed…only if they are willing, of course. Leadership exists everywhere but when it is accompanied with conviction and passion, it will be sustainable and transformational through time!

In conclusion, I believe “A vision can only be birthed out of a conviction and passion” and my passion is in Leadership Development and Coaching, possessing a desire to make a difference in Building and Empowering Generational Leaders

As we look ahead into the next century, Leaders will be those who empower others.

– Bill Gates
