Book Helene Chung as a Speaker

‘Helene speaks as she writes – with crystal clarity, sensitivity to her audience,
a firm grasp of her subject, and always a touch of humour.’
Dr John Fitzgerald
Head of Ford Foundation, Beijing
Former Founding Professor of Asian Studies, La Trobe University

‘With China emerging as a world power, Ms Chung’s detailed knowledge of the
country, its politics and its people comes across in her articulate and amusing
presentation, during which she engages with her audience in a relaxed and
informal way. I have not heard better in the 25 years that I was based in Asia.’
John W Downer, AM
Former Group Chairman, Maunsell International Consulting Engineers

'Helene's presentation was so interesting, very topical, very entertaining and well presented. She was very relaxed and responded well to our audience and their questions. We had fabulous feedback from our clients who thoroughly enjoyed her presentation.'
Margaret Parker FCA
Director Hayes Knight Melbourne

'Helene is a polished, charismatic speaker who knows how to hold an audience. Her
talk was tightly written and engagingly delivered. It was informative, moving, and amusing. Everyone enjoyed the event, and people were keen to chat with her afterwards.'
Chris Pearce & Janet Grecian
The Hobart Bookshop

'I have gained the highest admiration for Helene's poised and engaging manner,
and for the elegance of her exceptionally well prepared presentations.
Helene brilliantly articulates poignant moments in her rich cross-cultural
experience, using bold strokes of insightful analysis and characterization,
garnished with light humorous nuance, to achieve a unique and sympathetic effect.’
Dr Thomas Bartlett
La Trobe University, Honorary Associate in History
Melbourne Chinese Studies Group

‘A thoroughly professional presentation … I wish the lessons I sat through at
school on modern Chinese history had been half as interesting and engaging.’
John Crone
Former China Head, Radio Australia
Secretary, Chinese Language Teachers Association (Vic)
