DAVID THOMAS MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE AND INSPIRATIONAL STORY WHO WILL SHOW YOUR AUDIENCE HOW TO MANAGE CHANGE AND CHALLENGE.

David suffered a deeply abusive childhood at the hands of his alcoholic mother and aged stepfather. He went off the rails at 16. He started burgling shops, attempted suicide twice, nearly killed a police officer one night, received a criminal conviction and was expelled from school. He turned his life around and after a series of dead-end jobs, joined the Fire Service at 20. He loved the job but struggled with studying. Aged 27, he bought a book on memory to help him pass his exams. Just 8 months later, he went to the World Memory Championships and came 4th. He has since gone on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history including breaking a Guinness record for memorising and reciting the Maths formula Pi to 22,500 digits.

David Thomas motivational speaker, Sunday Times #1 bestselling author and media personality, even appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show that went out to 500 million people worldwide.

His inspirational story is a triumph of success over terrible adversity. He is the epitome of resilience, determination and application. His motivational keynote is perfect for business events because he shares his methods that have made him a world class exponent in his field. These are the main themes:
