Kelvin Lim

FOUNDER / PRINCIPAL COACH

FOUNDER / PRINCIPAL COACH, ECI

Having always possessed the belief that each and every person offers great potential that is just waiting to be tapped, Kelvin began his foray into the coaching field in the 1990s. From 1997 to 2004, he was the Landmark Regional Team Leader. In 2005, he became the first certified Master Coach in South East Asia. He also served as an instructor for both Coach and Corporate Coach Universities.

In his own words: “Life is a journey that requires a person to evolve for this adventure to be successful, insightful and fruitful. The world in which we are offers many levels and opportunities that we are not always aware of. Coaching does not enable you to just access temporary opportunities but also empowers you to evolve as a person to the point where those opportunities come to you, and you are fully able to take advantage of them.”
Kelvin’s corporate clients include Imperial Tobacco, Grant Thornton Singapore, The Housing Development Board, The Singapore Police Force, amongst others. His individual clients include C-level Executives, business owners and influential public figures. He has also personally trained more than 40 internationally accredited coaches.

He is involved as well with the United Nations where he contributed to the fundraising efforts to help people recovering from the 2010 Haiti earthquake. He was also one of the sponsors for the events attached to the UN’s 64th anniversary in New York. He has also served on the board of several non-profit organizations such as Culture Project in the company of public figures such as Fisher Stevens, Best Director Oscar Winner for “The Cove.” Kelvin is also a book writer and publisher.

As a successful entrepreneur, Kelvin founded his own coaching company, Executive Coach International, in 2004, with one purpose: empowering people to live their lives to the fullest and all it has to offer. ECI has received multiple awards, including the Promising SME 500 Awards in 2014 from the Small Medium Business Association (SMBA) in Singapore, which acknowledged ECI’s success and the promising future it offers to its clients.

Kelvin received his Bachelor of Business Administration from Monash University and his MBA from Aldersgate University. He is also one of the original 7 Guerilla Marketing Master Trainers in Asia.
