I want to thank you! Your training has ignited a spark, and I feel that
it will spread to all of the employees." |
| "Audrey
- I just received a call from the leader of our ‘virtual classroom’
team. She said that your presentation is the model of how web classroom
meetings should be conducted. You did a superb job of getting everyone involved
with your exercises and your presentation with its stories was OUTSTANDING!"
- Vicki McCarl, Corporate Planning, Xcel Energy |
| "Audrey, you have become the new buzz here at Xcel Energy. The women who attended your session have not stopped talking about it and you." Thanks again, - Harryette - Harryette Johnson, CES Business Planning Consultant, Council for Diversity and Inclusion , Xcel Energy, Customer & Enterprise Solutions |
| "Liked the examples of how the differences between men and women play out. The idea of gender flexing is very useful for folks in law enforcement, especially women! The video, power point presentation, handouts were all excellent. You know how to approach a sensitive topic with humor and powerful content. I like the way you slide the critical issues between humor. This was very interactive and informative. Lots to think about. You know your stuff." - Participant comments, Rocky Mountain Women in Law Enforcement Conference |
| "I run the WIN-SC (Women's Information Network of Southern Colorado); you spoke at an event for my partner organization in Fort Collins, the WIN-NC, last February. Feedback from the event was very positive, and the WIN-NC core team recommended you as an excellent speaker choice." - Richelle Ahlvers, StorageWorks Grid Architect, SAND CTO Office, StorageWorks Division, Hewlett-Packard Company |
| "Audrey, I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing seminar you held for us today here in Tampa. I am a legal secretary for Butler Pappas and really enjoyed hearing you speak. While others may not think it, I feel I struggle every single day in my communication skills, on both a personal and professional level. It's very tiresome. My goal is to try and communicate properly while feeling confident in doing so. I'm hoping by reading your books and listening to your CD's I can accomplish that." Thanks again, - Francie Moschenik, Butler, Pappas LLP, Tampa, Florida |
| "Dr. Nelson, Fifteen years ago I took the class He Speaks, She Speaks. It was by far the most important training of any kind that I have ever received. At the time I was both newly married and in a predominately male workforce. Your class not only helped me learn to adjust my communication style which helped me become more effective in the workforce, it brought a great deal of awareness to differences in communication styles between my husband and me. The understanding that came out of your class made what could have been a very painful experience of learning how to effectively communicate with each other not only easier but something we continue to find humor in to this day. - Fifteen years later I’m still in a male dominated workforce, still married and now a mother of a girl and a boy. Having a different perspective on life, I very much enjoyed taking your class again." - Pam Hergett, Civil Engineer, United States Forest Service |
| "Congrats Audrey! As usual you are Awesome Audrey. We are so pleased to have you on our LDP faculty and an educational partner within the Farm Credit system. Thanks for always giving your best for this program and to our people." Warm regards, - Cindy Knutson, Farm Credit Council Services |

| “In the last four years of cross-cultural classes, Audrey’s gender communication class has consistently been our most popular offering. Every class is full and there is always a waiting list. I never have to worry about attendance. Audrey’s expertise in the field is evident from the beginning and it seems that participants can’t wait to recommend the class to their co-workers. We are fortunate to have someone of her caliber in our community. -Peter Salas, Boulder County, Colorado |

“Audrey Nelson is supremely qualified to tackle the difficult and sensitive issues around gender inequity. Her professional training and work in this area is unparalleled. Her approach is honest and straight forward-this is not work for the faint-hearted. She tells it like it is for there is no other road to evolution. She can identify blindspots and problem people in the organization and offer real life solutions. Her positive impact on the women’s community in our company was unprecedented. She gave us a voice where there was fear and silence. I would not hesitate to recommend Audrey Nelson. -Laura Webster, Cirent Semiconductor |

“Move over, John Gray, of Mars and Venus fame, Boulder’s own Audrey Nelson PhD is on the scene! On the snowy morn of February 11th, I had the unexpected delight and pleasure of hearing Audrey present a talk on nonverbal communication between the sexes. I laughed so hard I cried! Audrey’s entertaining and intelligent beat on the way we communicate is uproarious because it is so true, it hurts. Once again, I am wowed by another local hero and this one in the realm of communication, where we need it most! -Cindy Morris, MSW |
|
“[Audrey was] wonderful! People can’t stop raving! Thank you again, and I’ll call you soon to set up another meeting!” -Carol Colon, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield |
| “Thank you for another superb presentation at last weeks PHMA “Putting Your Best Foot Forward.” I find the subject your train absolutely fascinating and could indulge in your coaching for days. I attended one of your communication between the sexes presentations at the PHMA in Louisville, which I know I mentioned to you. However, first off it was the quality of your presentation that initially made me realize it was you. I have always remembered that presentation and quote it to many I meet.” -Ian Taylor, Professional Housing Management Association |
| "I had the distinct pleasure of listening to you at the recent Colorado Human Resource Association monthly luncheon. While I could apply any number of adjectives to my impression of your presentation the best I can come up with was---WOW! I would tell you that the caliber of speakers at the luncheon is above average in general. You raised that bar significantly."-Timothy A. Engelhart, President, Engelhart & Company |
| "You were fabulous with the book discussion group. Many of the participants made an effort to tell me how much they enjoyed your interactive style. You are one of the most dynamic speakers I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. It was my honor to work with you and I sincerely hope our paths cross again. However, I would not want to face you as the opposing expert in a sexual harassment case. You would have the jury on the edge of their seats!" Mike Sterchi - Lawyer, Federation of Corporate Counsel |
