Dr. Clinton Lee's biography
Often described as a “Renaissance Man”, Dr. Lee is truly a humble disciple of knowledge. There is nothing that he enjoys more than learning from the tried and tested classical methods found in the hallowed hallways of institutions. What is remarkable though, is also his thirst for practical everyday knowledge, which others describe as “street smarts” or the essentials to a pragmatic life. His reservoir of knowledge is also drawn from conversations and interactions with people from all walks of life, their stories their experiences from people like you and I. He blends these two rivers of knowledge together seamlessly and the result is extraordinary.
His deep respect for different cultures is evident when you meet and interact with him. His experience of life is immense after having traveled to over 100 countries. He brings all of this into his life in all aspects. He is a Licensed Associate with the prestigious Trompenaars Hampden - Turner, an international Cross-Cultural Management Consulting institute that is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His reach in cross cultural consulting both in corporate and individual consulting, is expansive.
Dr. Lee travels extensively consulting, giving talks and seminars but appreciates the simple joys of life like a stunning sunset, music for the soul and conversation for the heart. If you see or bump into him, do say hello, he will be happy to meet you. In his spare time he enjoys tempting the “Gods of fate” when he plays backgammon with his good friend over a cup of coffee, writing his second book and soaking in all that life has to offer. The kitchen constantly beckons Dr. Lee and many years ago he completed an abridged Cordon Bleu cooking course that is immeasurably valuable with his knowledge of wine.
