“I wholeheartedly endorse Dr Shireen Chua as an insightful and engaging presenter. Her adaptive preparation, delivery and fresh content was well received by all!”

Jenny Collings,

Shireen Chua delivered a thought-provoking and impactful presentation on “Developing Intercultural Intelligence in Organizations: Practical Solutions for Cultural Diversity and Inclusion” at the IIA NZ Conference in November 2023.

Her session highlighted the growing prevalence of cultural diversity in today’s globalised workplace and its significance in fostering high-performing teams through inclusive practices. Shireen drew from her extensive personal and professional experiences working with multicultural teams, offering invaluable insights into the factors that shape an organisation’s ability to nurture and grow cultural diversity.

Attendees left with a profound understanding of the importance of cultural intelligence (CQ) and its direct contribution to team success. Shireen shared practical solutions for developing cultural intelligence, addressing unconscious biases, and fostering inclusivity.

Shireen’s session was a highlight of the conference and resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom were inspired to take immediate steps to implement her insights into their workplaces.

There are speakers who inform.
There are speakers who entertain.
And then… there’s Shireen Chua, who does both and somehow leaves your worldview just a little sharper every time.

I had the privilege of watching Shireen speak live in New Zealand, and I walked away genuinely changed. Her presence was magnetic. Her humour? Effortless. And her ability to command a room while staying completely human and grounded !

As someone just starting my own speaking journey, I found myself not just inspired, but quietly studying every move … the way she built trust with her audience, shifted the energy in the room, and brought complex cultural truths to life with clarity and grace.

Shireen doesn’t just speak, she connects, challenges, and awakens. She’s the kind of voice every event needs, and every aspiring speaker should learn from.
