“I loved how fast-paced it was. 100 people in the room with completely different challenges and Carly still made it relevant for everyone. That's hard to do.”
“I walked in thinking I'd struggle to keep up. I walked out having already made two videos and a couple of posts. I was genuinely wowed by what I could actually do.”

Explore Speaker KitMost people teaching AI come from technology. Carly comes from business.
That changes the conversation. Carly teaches AI from the point of view of the people actually running teams, serving customers and trying to get work done.
Operator first. AI second.
Carly has spent 21 years across automotive, financial services, operations, growth, marketing and technology.
She built and scaled businesses herself, including Get My Refund, which grew into a multimillion-dollar financial services business and was recognised in the AFR Fastest Growing Companies 2023.
She understands what AI looks like when it has to work in a real business, not just in a demo.
People leave ready to use it.
Every keynote, workshop and executive session is designed to move people from curiosity or confusion into practical action.
The examples are grounded in real work, the language is plain English and the focus is always on what people can actually do next.
That is the difference between AI awareness and AI adoption.
Real feedback from real sessions.
Carly has delivered keynote presentations, workshops, executive briefings and AI training sessions for business owners, leadership teams, industry groups and organisations across Australia.
The room did not just listen. They took action.
“Carly’s presentation was the highlight of my day. I loved that she shared some basic things for us that we can do also.”
“Loved it. It was hands on, it was easy to follow. As we all know the presentation at the end of the day is the hardest, but this was great and I am glad I stayed. 10/10”
“My brain's just in freaking overdrive thinking of all the stuff I can get AI to do. That agentic browser session — wow.”
