What people say about me…….

I would highly recommend Audrie as a keynote speaker for any upcoming events you may be hosting. Audrie spent time with myself and colleagues to truly understand the key messages we wanted to deliver to our audience and tailored her presentation to fit.
Audrie delivered a polished, confident, engaging and motivational speech around the art of human connection allowing the audience some valuable self reflection time around their core values, strengths and how they make a positive impact. I have been to many events watching various different key note speakers and will most definitely always remember Audrie for not only delivering such valuable content but for how inspired and empowered I felt post her presentation. I cannot speak highly enough of her skills and delivery, she truly demonstrates her high capability in public speaking, speaking honestly and authentically throughout.
-Emma Saunders, Relationship Manager Business Banking, HSBC

Audrie has been instrumental in building my leadership skills and confidence in speaking. Full of tips and suggestions to project the right image for each situation, both online and in person. It’s the detail that really makes the difference. I highly recommend Audrie!

-Catherine Tannahill, Director of Clinical Engagement, Portman Dentex

Audrie designed and delivered workshops for all of our York City Ladies players. She listened closely to our intended outcomes and pitched the workshops perfectly. She was engaging and involved everyone at a level that suited them individually, and gained their genuine interest in a short space of time. We would have her back in a heart beat, and will definitely work with her again.

- Paula Stainton, Foundation Manager, York City Football Club Foundation

Audrie is a kind, non-judgemental individual who coaches with honesty and warmth. She is incredibly emotionally intelligent and does not shy away from asking tough, thought-provoking questions. This really helped to tease out things that maybe in the past I’ve not been willing to admit or recognise myself. She has helped me to overcome my self-esteem and given me tools to help with my fear of failure. I speak about myself more confidently in the workplace and colleagues have commented that they have noticed this change. With her coaching I have also taken steps to drastically improve my work-life balance and recognise that success has many formats - not just how far you get in your career. In addition, she has also helped me to develop my presentation style - I am now giving significantly better, more engaging presentations which focus on messaging and storytelling - leaving the audience with a memorable impact. If any of the above challenges resonate with you, I would strongly recommend getting in touch with Audrie - for me, she has truly been a game changer.

Sometimes - just sometimes - one has the good fortune to meet someone very special; a person who is not only fabulous to work with but who has a maturity, skill and level of understanding which brings out the very best in another person. Audrie is authentic and brilliant in equal measure. Her passion for what she does and the goals she helps her clients to achieve is obvious - and it’s almost impossible not to make significant progress because of her guidance and support. I’ve been in business for over three decades and I’ve never worked with anyone who has had such an impact on my life or business. So, if you are looking for transformation, to overcome a challenge, for fulfilment - or just that reflective overview of where you are and where you want to go - Audrie Woodhouse is absolutely for you!

- Sandro Forte FCII, FPFS, FPSA, CEO, Forte Financial Group

Audrie has supported us with a piece of work developing some of our senior clinical leaders as they get ready to apply for broader strategic governance roles. This would involve significant role change and new senior colleagues in who they need to inspire confidence. This has been part of a wider development plan for the staff concerned but the feedback I have had has been how much they have benefitted from their time with Audrie. She manages to give them confidence yet quickly help them identify the key things that they could address to maximise their impact and opportunities. I and colleagues could see the changes in some individuals after just one session and their enthusiasm and determination to implement Audrie’s suggestions has been very rewarding. “Honestly speaking…I thoroughly enjoyed working with Audrie. She’s open and has an inviting presence and poise. She noticed things about me I can hold onto and gave some practical breathing and tongue twister exercises that I hope to use in my next interview. Great fun too.” “Audrie is really engaging, enthusiastic and energetic, she makes the scary doable."

-Sarah Dexter – Smith, Director for people and culture, Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHSFT

I first met Audrie at a networking event in York. I remember thinking to myself, this woman could definitely help me! I have always been pretty petrified of presenting; sticky palms and a dry mouth have always been present whenever I've had to speak in front of an audience. Audrie has recently helped me with a presentation I was preparing for, she gave very honest and constructive feedback to the first draft and helped me transform it into a well polished presentation, that I am now able to deliver with ease. Audrie helped me to see the importance of being myself when presenting and connecting with my audience, as opposed to trying to be someone that I am not! We also worked through techniques to prepare before a presentation, such as breathing (I never thought that I would ever be able to breathe out for 16 seconds!) and warming our voices up. These are simple things that are SO important to do. I cannot thank Audrie enough for her help and guidance! I would not hesitate to recommend Audrie to my clients, associates and friends and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.

The Language Department at the French National School for the Judiciary had the pleasure of welcoming and working with Audrie Woodhouse in May on a course entitled "the Art of Giving Presentations". The delegates who benefitted from Audrie’s skill and enthusiasm in training them to acquire better presentation techniques and feel more at ease with public speaking were delighted with the three days. We would not hesitate to recommend her for similar courses.

- Amanda Gedge -Wallace, Coordonnatrice des enseignements de langues chez ENM (Ecole nationale de la magistrature)

During lockdown I found myself struggling with a number of issues, both professional as well as personal. I was recommended to Audrie by a friend, the best referral I could ever have received. So what’s special about her? I’ve worked with a number of coaches over the years but I promise you, nobody quite like Audrie. I appreciate that a good coach must be many things, including empathetic, understanding, positive, enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient and also be a clear communicator. Audrie has all of these qualities and so much more. She is a beautiful human being with exceptional warmth and a wonderful smile. It’s clear that helping others comes naturally to her. All of these things combined make her stand head and shoulders above the rest and it’s a real privilege to be one of her clients. Thank you for all you’ve helped me with Audrie. 

-Robert Davies, Itseeze web design

I joined a group coaching session offered by Audrie to Assistant Psychologists working within Tees Esk & Wear Valleys'. I had no idea what to expect but I knew I had an interview for the Clinical Doctorate that I was petrified for! Audrie's session was a total eye opener. She helped me to understand how my negative limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome were showing in interviews and what I could do to improve these. She helped me to realise that I already had what it takes for the interview and to be a Clinical Psychologist - I just lacked confidence in myself. I truly believe this session was a huge part of the reason for me getting the role. Thanks again Audrie

- Simone Briony Brownless Assistant psychologist and Associate Lecturer NHS

After being unsuccessful in a few interviews, I approached Audrie after seeing her do some work in my organisation. The work we have done together contributed to my success in an interview and taught me far more than anticipated. As a result, I have grown in confidence as a leader and when speaking in public. With Audrie’s knowledge and skills, she encouraged me to try new things and was extremely supportive. Audrie gives you feedback in a way that drives you to do better and succeed. She has a great sense of humour, is fun, inspiring, hardworking and energetic in her approach. I have loved every minute of working with her and would highly recommend her.

 -Dr Kirsty Charlton, Psychologist and family therapist

I first met Audrie at a workshop where I was one of many. She identified how I could improve my presentation skills and made a positive impact in just 5 minutes. I am generally considered a confident presenter, however Audrie spotted deep seated issues that have prevented me improving. I was so inspired, I travelled 260 miles for 1:1 coaching. I now have a way forward to continually improve my communication and teaching skills. I highly recommend Audrie. 

-Helen Potter Co Founder and CEO of Potter Innovation

I recently attended a public speaking workshop hosted by Audrie, it was great fun, so informative and thought provoking. In a follow up call Audrie really helped me prepare for a big presentation, she coached me through my nerves, gave me clarity about what I wanted to achieve from the event, and shared great tips on how to ensure my presentation was engaging. Thank you so much Audrie!

-Gemma Smith, Managing Director at STRATA

Audrie was an expert speaker and workshop host at a week-long event for business women that I organised in Ibiza in 2018. Everyone agreed that Audrie's 'Honestly Speaking' workshop was a highlight of the event. She is an inspiring speaker and facilitator and has the gift of putting people at their ease so they are able to open up and surprise themselves. I have since had the pleasure of getting to know Audrie even better in a professional capacity and am continually impressed by her professionalism, insight, compassion and integrity. Working with her is profound!

-Lucy Hutchings Hunt, Business growth and tech guru

 She helped me give a voice to my business, which enabled me to express my values. She helped me to see what was truly important and to discard what was not. Audrie helped me to tap into my own self and explore what I wanted from my life, for me, my family and those close to me. It turn’s out, my own values are not dissimilar to the ones of the business. My knees no longer knock together when speaking to groups. I don’t use the sound ‘erm’ every third word anymore when presenting. My words now have power behind them and deliver a more meaningful message, without being salesy. The path I was travelling was not mine, it was one I got lost on and continued through complacency. The path I am on now is the one that makes me happy, calm and confident. It’s the path which has made our family life 100% more positive and fulfilling. Working with Audrie has been one of the best things to happen to me, for me and for my business. Her words, advice and guidance are gifts I have been able to share with family and friends too. If you feel stuck right now, like you are not on ‘your’ chosen path, with life and your work – she really can help you to change things. Give her a call. I know you will be thankful you did. 

-Angela Saunders, Recruitment Director – Mum of two 

Audrie was fantastic! She was open and engaging throughout the day and taught an old dog some new tricks when it comes to presentation skills. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to focus on their voice and generally improve their presentation skills.

-Oliver Twizell, Assistant psychologist NHS

Audrie is a phenomenal coach. She is so perceptive of one’s individual needs and makes you feel at complete ease, whether in a large group or one on one. She can transform the way you present yourself, which is crucial to succeeding in life and business, right down to how you breathe, how you talk and how you stand. Audrie can teach you how to command the room.

-Boyarde Messenger , Boyarde Arthouse

Audrie came highly recommended and I cannot emphasize how much she has helped me in the short period of time that we have worked together. She has helped me in so many different areas that I am not even sure if I can just use a single word to label her role. She had helped me to gain greater clarity in my goals - my "Why", picked up on many little things that I wasn't aware of as we do our role play for my meetings with clients, improved my speaking and presentation skills. On top of that, she has also helped me to navigate through issues that I am facing which allowed me to find the answers I need, and to know exactly what I need to do next. I am more than delighted to have been introduced to her and continue our work together. I highly recommend Audrie to anyone who is serious about being a better version of themselves. 

-Cheryl Goubet – Bodart, Singapore based financial planner

I had the privilege of attending both the group workshop, and an individual professional development coaching session with Audrie. Initially I was slightly apprehensive of what to expect, but from the start Audrie made me feel completely at ease. The workshop provided me with some helpful tips and techniques to utilise during public speaking, or in preparation for interviews. However the 1:1 coaching session provided me with a reflective space to support guided discovery of my personal long term goals, beyond qualifying for chartered membership. I found the whole process really beneficial for both personal and professional development, as it enabled me to reflect on a deeper level about my career journey to date, my unique strengths but also potential barriers to reaching my goals. It was also great to gain perspective from a professional outside of the field of psychology. It has definitely sparked a personal interest in coaching! I found the experience highly validating, and I would definitely encourage other assistants to work with Audrie in the future. It is an experience I will carry forward into my career, and I hope to remain in contact with Audrie going forward.” 

-Chloe  Smith, Assistant Psychologist

Audrie was recommended to me by a close friend as a coach for my daughter who is a 1st year student at drama college. From my first contact with her I knew she was the one for us. We talked on the phone for about half an hour, I could have listened for much longer. Her infectious enthusiasm for what she does is so engaging. I was captured by Audrie’s experience, her vitality and her absolute passion for helping other people. Audrie radiated such trust and caring in her communication that I felt instantly drawn to her and her coaching style. I was looking for someone who would inspire my daughter and encourage her to make the most of every opportunity. She has achieved that and so much more. I’ve worked with many coaches over the years and without question Audrie is the one I would recommend above all others.

- Russ Brown, Director at McMillan (York) Ltd

Audrie, Thanks again for your fabulous workshops. 

-Jane Hazell - Manager - Text, Voice & Artist Development, Royal Shakespeare Company

I had the luck and pleasure to be on a workshop called elevate by the goddess formula where Audrie was one of the guest trainers. Her workshop was a practical one which was immensely helpful for anyone who wishes to do any kind of public speaking, audition, job interview or pitch. Her training can really make the difference as to whether you get the job, funding or just getting your message across to your target audience. Highly recommend Audrie’s workshop or one to one coaching she will make you stand out from the crowd. 
-Heidi Grant, Business Owner

During a ‘Women in Business, Elevate Ibiza’ retreat, organised by The Goddess Formula, I had the pleasure of receiving a one to one coaching session with Audrie. Through her calm and inquisitive approach, I was able to gain clarity regarding my goals and vision. Audrie used explorative questions to enable me to become more precise in my answers. This in turn gave me empowerment when before I felt in limbo and confused. Thank you Audrie for your invaluable coaching. 

- Lynsey Taylor, ABC Childcare

Audrie worked (and still works) with my daughter, ostensibly supporting her in the development of her acting ability. However, Audrie has done so much more than that. She has developed confidence, communication skills and an ability to have a balanced approach to the stresses life occasionally throws at her. My son is due to start lessons with her too, and I know she will have the capacity to work with him (a very different character) in an equally successful way. I would recommend Audrie as both a drama teacher and life coach for young people

-Suzanna Ward, Head at Pocklington Prep School

Audrie is an amazing role model for all our children at Foston Primary School. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Our children have blossomed and grown in confidence and creativity with every session. Audrie can differentiate her motivating and active drama sessions to any age and ability either one to one or as a whole group. She makes our Fridays all the more fantastic. 

-Sarah Moore, Headmistress

When my daughter was offered a contract with an agency we knew nothing about how to prepare her for auditions. We needed someone to teach her acting, performance and confidence skills and when I found Audrie I knew we’d struck gold. She’s not like you’re everyday coach, she’s a real actress with professional experience and a wealth of wisdom. She is everything a person could wish for, kind, patient and knowledgeable but firm enough to gain respect and get results from a teenager. My daughter has blossomed so much since she started her sessions with Audrie, it’s astonishing to see how much! Her acting has improved, her confidence is unlike ever before and her commitment is total. She has found a love for this art and the inspiration has been down to Audrie. Last night my daughter told me that she loves her sessions so much she never wants them to stop. She’s decided she wants to continue with this craft and to take it as far as she can. I don’t have the words to explain just how life changing and wonderful Audrie’s input has been. It’s been worth every penny and we cannot thank her enough. One very happy customer 
- Holly D’Arcy, Parent

I think you have been great for Connor; I've seen a real change in him. Mostly just his confidence and how relaxed he is around adults. He has had a really positive start at Malton and much of that us down to you. I know Connor will be keen to work with you again as he has enjoyed the journey he went on. 

- Paul Mulryne, parent and teacher

During my individual sessions with Audrie she really did give all the tools and more necessary for my vocational college auditions. Everything she taught me gave me the opportunity to start piecing together a repertoire of material that I could most definitely draw upon again. Not only that but her teachings are current and are being used in vocational college training today, meaning she is truly making you industry ready. All my lessons were great fun and was an absolute privilege to be able to work with this amazing teacher/actress/mentor/person who I will always rely on for her guidance and wise words.
- Hannah Woodward, Performing Artist

Audrie has taught our son for nearly three years. She has taken the time to get to know him and see beyond his shyness and reticence to put himself both in the spotlight and fully engage with a character.
Where others dismissed his insecurities for lack of ability, Audrie saw a raw potential. Against all other opinions she encouraged, and worked with, our son to go for a drama scholarship at his chosen school. Her positive, firm coaching and constant pushing for more and better performances plus an incredible knowledge of, and experience in, theatre culminated in what was perceived as a highly unlikely Scholarship for Excellence in Drama for our son.
We cannot recommend Audrie highly enough. Individual talent is teased out and nurtured, not just in this case but in everyone that I have seen come under her tutelage.
