Renee Lim is a performer, medical doctor, and educational designer. The three careers are not chapters in a story; they run in parallel, and they inform everything she brings to the stage.
Her screen work includes The Dry, Please Like Me, Clickbait, and Black Snow, with theatre credits including Grace Under Pressure. As a locum doctor in Palliative Care and Geriatrics in NSW, she works at the sharp end of human experience. As Director of Program Development at the Pam McLean Centre, she designs experiential courses that use behavioural psychology and performance to improve communication across the health sector, and educates the next generation of clinicians at the University of Sydney and UNSW. She is also CEO of Changineers, an educational technology social enterprise building effective tools for social change.
Her consulting work spans the for-purpose sector, from the Paul Ramsay Foundation to WSLHD FLASH and Violet. She writes and directs with KFilms and supports community engagement at the Vault at KXT on Broadway.
This convergence of careers produced eNayble, the framework Renee built to equip people with practical, creative ways to connect and to step into difficult conversations with clarity and courage.
Talking Points
Complex Conversations
We've all been there: the conversation we've been avoiding, the one that keeps us up at night, the one where the stakes feel too high to get it wrong... This keynote explores what makes conversations complex, and what it really takes to step into them with clarity and courage. Renee also introduces the eNayble complex conversations model as a pathway for those wanting to go deeper.
Complex Conversations
Commitment
What does it actually mean to commit to another person's needs? Not just in theory, but in the moments that matter. This keynote explores what gets in the way of commitment and what becomes possible when we genuinely take the time to understand what is valuable to the people around us. Renee also introduces the eNayble commitment framework as a pathway for those wanting to go deeper.
Commitment
Self Management
In complex situations, the one thing we have both control over and expertise in is ourselves. This keynote explores the inner landscape of high-stakes moments: our values, our emotions, the way we react to others' emotions, and what it means to bring our most equipped selves into difficult situations. Renee also introduces the eNayble self-management framework as a pathway for those wanting to go deeper.
Self Management
Engagement
When something matters deeply to us, it's easy to forget that others don't see it through our eyes. This keynote explores what it really takes to make a message land and to cross the gap between what we mean and what another person actually receives. Renee also introduces the eNayble engagement framework as a pathway for those wanting to go deeper.
Engagement
Grief
A safe, sometimes funny, always optimistic space to get to know this thing called Grief together, so it becomes a little less scary and a little easier to share. Drawing on performance and storytelling, Renee explores grief not as a linear process to get through, but as a layered human experience we can learn to engage with more honestly and more compassionately. Renee also introduces the eNayble grief connection approach as a pathway for those wanting to go deeper.

Conference MC and Panel Chair
Most MCs can open and close a session. Renee can hold one. A working performer across film, television, and theatre, with parallel careers in medicine and educational design, she brings stage craft grounded in years of understanding how people connect and communicate. She reads a room quickly, adjusts when programs shift, and knows how to lift what happens between presentations, not only the moments she's on the microphone. Healthcare organisations, education bodies, and creative sector events gain something harder to find than a polished host: someone who already understands the industry, the audience, and the stakes.
