David Thomas is a speaker with an unbelievable and inspirational story who will show your audience how to manage change and challenge. David's childhood was one of terrible abuse at the hands of his alcoholic mother and physically abusive stepfather. At 16, he attempted suicide twice, got in trouble with the police, was kicked out of school and received a criminal conviction.

He left home, turned his life around and joined the Fire Service. He was an operational firefighter for 11 years. During that time, he bought a book on memory to help him pass his exams. 8 months later he entered his first World Memory Championships and went on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history. 

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 is now an international speaker, Sunday Times #1 bestselling author and media personality, even appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show that went out to 500 million people worldwide.

"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
