Carli Phillips BHSc, MBA
International Wellbeing Keynote Speaker
Carli is a lead researcher in employee wellbeing, so every tool she shares is grounded in evidence and built for busy working lives. She pairs the science with her own lived experience of burnout while juggling business, study and caring for loved ones. It’s a candid moment that stays with audiences long after the event.
“We had Carli come to a large conference for the Child Youth and Family department at our organisation. The presentation was outstanding – the overwhelming positive feedback from attendees after the event was elevating. We would definitely recommend Carli for events, her communication, ease, professionalism and empathy throughout this whole process were faultless. Thankyou.” Sarah Reidy, Acting Lead Maternal and Child Health Universal Services, City of Casey
Wellbeing Keynotes
Busy & Burnout Proof
Always-on work, stacked deadlines and overflowing inboxes push people quietly towards burnout. Carli shares her own story of burnout and anxiety, then the daily habits that protect energy, sharpen mental fitness and build lasting resilience. Audiences leave with science-backed tools that fit into the busiest days.
Bring Back The Joy!
Written for carers, teachers, nurses, early childhood educators and support workers. Drawing on the emerging science of joy and awe, Carli shows how a few minutes in a demanding day can calm the nervous system and reconnect people with why they care. Audiences leave feeling recognised, thanked and uplifted.
Being Human Is A Superpower In A World of AI
As AI changes work at speed, the answer isn’t to compete with machines but to become more deeply human. Carli shows how to work smarter, protect wellbeing under pressure and return to what matters: purpose, connection, recognition and the power of a thank you.
Feeding The People Who Feed Australia
Based on Carli’s original research into wellbeing across primary industry and food production. It tackles the three biggest concerns she found: mental health, nutrition, and smoking and vaping. Practical tools are designed for the tractor cab, the production line and home, along with how to look out for a mate who’s struggling.
“Carli’s Busy & Burnout Proof session challenged us to rethink the culture of being constantly busy and highlighted the importance of protecting our wellbeing to perform at our best. She shared practical, evidence-based strategies to build resilience, manage stress and prevent burnout through simple daily habits.” Stacey McKenna, Australian Chair, Meat Business Women
