Desmond Lim is a regional leader at World Vision based in Singapore, whose journey has taken him across continents—from Southeast Asia to the U.S. and U.K. and through multiple layers of professional and personal transformation. He shares how his upbringing, faith, and cultural context influence leadership in today’s complex humanitarian and development space.   Desmond reflects on building partnerships that are truly collaborative, the importance of humility in engaging communities, and how global organizations can better listen and respond to the realities of local actors. The conversation also weaves in insights about parenting, personal growth, and the quiet power of proximity in systems leadership. Listener Engagement
