ALL ABOUT DR AUDREY

Having then spent since 2014 promoting the importance of wellbeing for living (and leading) well - I reocgnise that transformation happens beyond the "tick box" - it is when psychology and creative expression meet "In Real Life". And it is through my work using burlesque for self expression that I see women in particular giving themselves permission to reclaim who they truly are.
I'm Dr Audrey Tang and I'm a Chartered Psychologist, TEDx Performer & Speaker, Broadcaster and Business Author in the area of wellbeing.
Back in 2008 I qualified as a teacher I spent 4 years as Head of Drama and then Head of Psychology prior to the opportunity to do a PhD. I researched the emotional management (“Emotional Labour”) expected of client-facing professionals (eg. Teachers, Nurses…) and how these demands (above the technical skills) could result in burnout if not supported by the organisation.

As such my books - the "Head Heart Gut" trilogy of leadership comprising The Leader’s Guide to Mindfulness, Wellbeing and Resilience, AND Be A Great Manager Now, all published by Pearson and FT are not just theoretical but filled with practical tools to implement the transformational concepts that resonate with us; and in 2022 I built Wellbeing Media Studio to ensure that I was not only promoting academic wellbeing information through my show "Mental Health Matters", but also creating a space where pratitioners could build their media confidence first hand.
In 2023, and thanks to a family legacy donation, I established the CLICK Arts Foundation which gives grants to fund grassroots projects to advance drama, dance, singing, music, and the visual arts for the public benefit in the Midlands region. While I used to run CLICK as a Community Theatre Group, it is a joy to support others who share our values. Rather than the large-scale shows I used to produce (including taking musicals to The Edinburgh Fringe and Internationally) I now host four main fundraising events each year - a LeMans Karting endurance competition - where my Burlesque Squad lead the cheer on track! (...like a mini Superbowl!), a 5 hour burlesque-a-thon, The Age of Love Cafe - where we keep the conversation about sex and intimacy across the lifespan going, and the Charity Single to raise awareness of local causes.
And I also continue delivering training, coaching, dance teaching as well as giving expert in wellbeing comment to the media.
