Bio
Dr Audrey Tang
I met Sharon while we were both working on Sky 191's Chrissy B Show as part of the "Resident Expert" team, subsequently I have had the absolute privilege and pleasure of collaborating with Sharon to promote personal development on a broader scale. Sharon has been one of my keynote speakers for charity events I have run advocating the importance of mental health, where she has been dynamic, motivating and a thorough asset to the profile of the evening; and through 3 months of lockdown we have been broadcasting weekly practical psychology & coaching webinar sessions on YouTube to support emotional and mental wellbeing. As a co-host and presenter, Sharon is dynamic, engaging - and demonstrates sound knowledge as a coach and trainer with exercises that produce results. Subsequently, Sharon is also fronting a segment on a leadership development show I have created with Disruptive TV - again, I couldn't ask for a more reliable, inspiring and practically driven presenter. Beyond her extensive knowledge as a coach, Sharon has extremely astute business awareness, and I have benefitted greatly from her advice and experience in this area as well. She is at the top of my "go to" list of professionals.
