“Mr Christian Chua did a great job in engaging our Primary Six students in learning social and dinning etiquette. The students enjoyed his sense of humor and there is never a boring moment! The emcee made the graduation lunch very entertaining for both students and teachers. It is through his well-thought activities that the students bonded even more during the session. Our school is very pleased with the service provided by Christian Chua Training Academy.”

Motivation for Students
Highlights from this Program
Christian Chua’s signature program for motivating students, “Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling” has transformed the lives of thousands of students. Not only does he motivate students to perform better, he actually shows them how to do it and how to remain motivated every day.
Often described by students as one of the best workshops they have attended, Christian is able to relate to all levels of students with ease and an unseen level of connection. His presentations are conducted with wit and a much appreciated humor that students cannot seem to get enough off.
Most motivational workshops may seem similar, but one thing that no one can replicate, which Christian Chua is able to do is finding that ‘conversion’ moment where the child decides to transform his or her life and say “I have decided to change.” Christian Chua is able to create that vital moment of change.

With only a 30 minute tour around the establishment and a 45 minute Cable Car ride, the students were required to present as many new business ideas as possible to improve the Cable Cars as an attraction. Working together with Christian Chua, executives from Faber Tours visited the school 2 weeks later and were delighted to be presented with over 10 feasible new business ideas, many of which you see implemented in the attraction today, including the “speed dating” night which is still highly popular.
