Speaker Engagement Process
If you are wishing to engage me for a speaking engagement then it is best to contact me via the contact page to discuss your specific needs and to request a quote for my fees.
I am able to present at a time and location of your choosing. Being a full-time working clinician however, any weekday appointments will need at least 4 weeks advanced notice.
Travel arrangements including time to travel will be incorporated into my quote. AV equipment will be needed for some of my talks but can be provided if needed.
Although I do online speaking, my preference is to present in person for better audience engagement.
A Speaker Contract outlining my fees and agreed topic will be provided and will need to be payable prior to presentation.
Fees
Each engagement will vary dependent on time and capacity ie education Vs training. This is best quoted once I have a brief on what is expected from you.
There may also be variations on fees dependent on the amount of people in the expected audience.
For an example of basic educational fees, I charge $1500 + GST per hour. For business training fees it is a minimum of $2500 + GST per hour.
I will sometimes discount fees for charities, schools, educational groups, not for profits and close medical or business associates. This will need to be discussed in advance. Very rarely will I can present at no cost but this will need to be discussed in advance.
Speaker Bio
Dr Cedric Chu is an educational and motivational speaker with a rarely seen breadth and depth of life experience and clinical knowledge across a broad range of topics aimed at health education, mental health, emotional intelligence training, neurodiversity, personal development and business leadership skills.
With 30 years of full-time clinical experience as a General Practitioner, he has recognised that his unique perspective is from being both a Specialist and a Generalist. Having to problem solve a myriad of bio-psycho-social issues for peoples of all demographics, all ages, all races and across an entire life span from birth to death has given him one of the broadest insights into people and their problems and how to enlighten an audience.
He has a a special interest in evolutionary psychology, emotional intelligence, neurodiversity, biomechanics, and complex medical cases. But he has found that being a highly effective clinician has come from his ability to “tell it like it is”, simplify complex concepts, and educate patients using a life coach approach.
"Keeping it simple" to successfully educate patients to manage their lives in a succint way is the approach that has led him to bring the same knowledge and simplicity of learning to public speaking engagements across a broad range of topics. And additionally he has found that a lot of his consultation advice translates very well into the Personal Development and Leadership Training space.
Additionally, being a founder of 2 medical centres and being a business owner, he has found that the same skills and advice have helped fellow business owners and leaders navigate their own challenges and avoid burn out by improving their emotional intelligence, mental health care, people management skills and life planning skills.
He is in the process of authoring these leadership seminars into a book called “The Functional Spectrum of Intelligence System” which is a new approach to team building and personal development for high functioning people and business leaders using practical principles of neurodiversity and evolutionary psychology. He is still presenting these talks while the book is being authored.
In addition to his clinical and business expertise, his breadth of knowledge, perspective and varied speaking engagements come from his broad extra-curricular life.
Dr Chu was born in Hong Kong but emigrated to Australia at age 3 and is also well versed in speaking on racial issues and challenges for immigrants. He also speaks on trauma issues with personal experience. He is a graduate of the University of Queensland and he also has over 20 years of experience in training medical students. He has worked in rural and urban settings, and also worked in Ireland.
He has also travelled to 70 countries around the world with a life plan to get to every country, and he wraps this international experience into his teachings. Additionally, he is creative as a cartoon artist and travel blog video editor, he trains and leads off road 4wding adventures, and he is also an accomplished martial artist who uses martial arts philosophies and energy principles to navigate life.
Due to Dr Chu being a rare generalist and specialist speaker he has a broad target audience so listed on the attachment is a list of commonly requested speaking engagements across different industries. However, he is happy to discuss custom needs for different audiences.
