We have had many conferences, and many after dinner speakers, and without doubt Rob Lilwall was one of the very best. His journey is fascinating and his talk and style highly engaging, filled with humour… It works very well in the corporate environment with great messages about overcoming challenges and being resourceful.
Head of USB Asia Equities, Hong Kong
Your story is fascinating and your presentation of it was engrossing. This was plainly evident by the amount of questions that you were asked despite your presentation taking place at the end of a long day (and well into the scheduled drinks time)! Thanks again for your enthusiasm and for taking the time to join us at dinner as well.
Manager, Business Development, HSBC, Hong Kong

Thank you for your excellent contribution to our 2011 Asia Pacific Director of Finance Conference in Hangzhou. Your colourful description of your exploits as well as your obvious passion for what you do was impressive throughout your presentation and it was a real inspiration to everyone listening. I like the way you tailored your presentation to tie in to the key messages of our conference of the need to set aggressive goals, alter them when necessary and to persevere to achieve them. The feedback on your presentation was tremendous.

Rob was exactly the ticket for our conference…his story was not only epic and inspirational, but also perfectly suited to help people realize the only real limitations are those we put upon ourselves.
President, Asia Pacific, DuPont Sustainable Solutions
Rob's story about getting beyond borders and taking calculated risks, following dreams and persevering in the face of obstacles was extremely motivating and added great value to our conference. He kept the audience captivated with his anecdotes and inspired to be more creative and innovative in their own lives.

Rob Lilwall’s drive and determination is an inspiration to all. Who would have thought that such a simple thing like riding a bicycle could create such emotion that we can do anything regardless of any adversity faced. Rob’s journey and his story reaffirm peoples’ behavior at its best; his humble nature and approach to life made the journey so seamless ‐ regardless of culture, language and belief of the people he met along the way.
Head of HR Services, Linklaters, UK
[Rob] has challenged himself both physically and mentally, learning how to focus on the positive in almost any situation… At the very least you should read his book but, better still, I recommend you meet him and hear his story first hand. He is a first rate presenter and will engage with his audience and take them with him on his amazing journey.
