David Thomas

David Thomas is a 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.

David Thomas is in demand as a motivational speaker and for his speaking and presentation skills coaching sessions.

Testimonials

I am really impressed. David Thomas has worked wonders.
Lord Digby Jones

Very engaging, very entertaining with some really poignant points.
Baroness Sue Campbell, CBE 

David Thomas successfully mixes humility and humour to captivate, educate and amaze his audiences. Everybody who is serious about their success should move mountains to hear him.
Steve Pipe, Chairman AVN 

I never realised that such a successful person could be so real that I could find comparisons with myself. That is what David’s presentation enables you to discover. He made me realise that success does not have to be a spectator sport.
Helen Jones, BAAN 

David, pleasure to meet you in Sitges and getting to know you over dinner. Inspirational, humbling, a great story. Lots of good humour and light heartedness too, which was enjoyable. I’m sure everyone took something away from the day and will reflect on the dormant potential and true capability that still resides in each of us, and the business as a whole.
