Carly Fisher Consulting

21/06/2025

Was such a privilege to be asked to speak with .hayleykelly on ep 201 about my career as a business psych to date, pivots and shifts and the incredible businesses, executives, individuals and opportunities I’ve had.

And there’s so much more to come 🤎

Maybe now Mum & Dad, and my friends can answer the question when people often ask - “so what does Carly actually do…?” 🙈🤣

I love what I do across federal and local Goverment, 1:1 & in my provate sector consulting world, and have done for nearly 20 years.
It’s been blood, sweat, late nights and tears at times, but always worth it. No-one’s coming to do it for us.

The lives and paths we cross and the privilege I have of driving peak performance outcomes via psychology, business and the science really is something else - less talk, more analysis & action is the crux! 💫

On Spotify, Apple etc. Link in comments if anyone is interested. ☺️rising

Let’s talk PERSPECTIVE.

Things can get extremely frustrating at times.
Especially when they’re mostly out of our control.

And things go wrong.
(Like missing an international connecting flight in Melbourne due to engineering issues in Canberra)

But you know what.

I chatted along to a lovely old guy collecting his refreshment vouchers from the airplane company because there was a 3rd delay.
A long delay.

He asked where I was from, I mentioned I had driven 3 hours in the early morning for this flight and a connecting international flight that’s now taken off twice over, but these things happen, and I guess I’ll get there eventually.
He shared that he was trying to get to Melbourne quickly to see his wife, whose sister had died.

My heart sank for him.

And a timely and grounding reminder that s**t goes wrong in life & business, we don’t need to carry on like a two bob watch, we just have to sort through it.

Because life is about so much more than a temporary or 24 hour interruption.

I hope he’s the first off the plane when we land ✈️💫

Music and Podcasts = the lifeblood of my weeks ✨

According to Spotify AI, I’m in the top 6% in the world (…and they haven’t calculated my Audible and Apple hours) 🙈

The thirst for knowledge is very real.
Tunes are a given in our household and my 2x offices.

Travelling, cleaning, walking, working or relaxing, you’ll find me listening to music & new content and learning deeply 🔐 🎧

I love nothing more than the privilege of supporting/donating to incredible charities 💫
An important way of giving back.
And this National Charity is close to my heart, as a Non-Exec Board Director.

Perinatal Mental Health week is so critical in raising awareness for maternal mental health and the team have absolutely crushed it .

This week supported 10 coffee deliveries across Australia to the doors of beautiful mums as a reminder of the village we have around us - and I don’t know about you, but mums supporting mums is right where the magic is - it’s a tough gig 🤎

Also, if you are stuck for a Christmas gift, a charity donation gives back in so many more ways than we know (my brother and I do this every year instead of gifts and it is THE best feeling) 🥹💫

Donate via the website. 🎁

I love this sentiment so much. 💫

It’s how kindly we hold the space with others when things are a bit much for them, that makes things ever less heavy and less messy ~ zero drama or making it about us.

This is much easier said than done in the busy, frustrating and time poor moments when the pressures on - that’s for sure.

How are we showing up for our colleagues and teams at work, at home and in our lives ~ when they’re working through the questions or misunderstandings, the tough or complex stuff? 🍂

Have been a bit quiet of late here ~ I recently took a brief hiatus and completed 100+ hours of an intensive 8 week program in the evenings, building exciting future business plans and reallllly stretching myself to dig deep. It was a game changer!

It took a bucket load of pushing on (despite life!) high desire, epic consistency and daily action — and we got there. This model might seem simple, but my gosh it’s powerful - and usually the simplicity is where it’s at.

Anyone else staring at the arbitrary Christmas deadline (when every goes a little mad) and not bothered one bit by it? 🙋🏼‍♀️

With a desire to get to Xmas day & 2025, consistency in attack plan and daily action, we will get there! 😉

Have a great weekend 💫🩵

I was so humbled when my uber smart and talented colleague Joe reached out from the USA during COVID to ask if I would contribute to a chapter of his 3rd book - FANATIC. Why we do what we do.

We all know human behaviour and what drives people is why I do what I do, but this one is more personal and very close to my heart. 💛

“Everyone is passionate about something, but not all of us become fanatics. Why and how some people do is a fascinating question with both practical utility and broad implications for our social, emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing. Joe Ungemah explores the psychological motivations behind fanaticism through interviews and direct experience.
Falling within the social, physical, cognitive, and emotive psychological domains, these motivations combine to make a particular passion core to someone’s identity
…and that fanaticism should be embraced for its work in creating a sense of purpose and identity, as well as the opportunity for connection it provides.”

Huge congratulations Joe - can’t wait to get around this one and the inspiring stories ⭐️

• the why •

I am currently doing some fairly hectic professional development and training over 8 weeks with some of the brightest minds and talented professionals in my industry. This is required for me as a psychologist, but also as a business owner and someone who loves learning new sh*t!

It would be hypocritical if I didn’t right, as a business psych and having the privilege of challenging, engaging and coaching super talented and driven individuals to grow and do what they do best. I have to level up always and do the same.

When I think about my own ‘why’ (and help others to dig deep and understand theirs) I always come back to 3 things ~ for my kids, for my future and because I absolutely love what I do via the impact it has.

The rest is academic, financial, societal etc etc but that doesn’t light me up as much.

When I feel lacking in energy, flat, over it and demotivated from time to time, it helps me so much to breathe deep, dig deep and remember ‘why’ we do what we do - and tap back into that.

If you’re after some great real talk on this topic ~ check out Simon Sinek’s work it’s 👌🏼

Have a great restful weekend, and ready to tackle a big week ahead! 💫

I think a silent sob might just creep out of my throat. 🥹🤎

So so honoured to be named on the
NSW Minister for Women ~ Rural Women’s Hidden Treasures Honour Roll for rural contribution.
I don’t know if I’m ’one of the most highly regarded trauma psychologists in Australia’ but I’m so honoured.

I work hard in two professional roles, but the best time I can spend to balance that, is volunteering hundreds of hours to support rural health and growth - what a privilege 🍂

The nomination was for significant volunteer contribution to:
- The absolutely horrendous & critical volunteer trauma psych response to Eugowra floods
- Rural mental health advisory via NSW Health board
- National Charity Board Director for mental health outcomes for mums (primarily rural) - The Nurtured Village.
- Providing free advice and referrals to psychologists, OTs, speechies, health practitioners and other specialists for rural kids, adults and families in our region every year.
- the work with The Compassionate Friends for grief and loss in rural areas
🥹
Gosh, I was extremely flawed when I read the beautiful nomination and reflected on the work, because it’s just done without thinking too much about it.
And it’s not work to me, it’s so much more.

I cannot affect change in rural areas alone ~ there’s so so many others as well 🙏🏼 ~ but I can always give back in some way by volunteering many hours trying to improve rural living ~ one person, one family, one trauma, one strategy or one contribution at a time - and gosh we need it, it’s so hard for us rural folk to get high quality professional help 🤎

People often say - where do you get the time? My response is always - everyone has the same 24 hours in every day, I just have the privilege of being able to use my quals and experience to help others when they need it most, and to give back - that is the mission.
… and like all volunteers I get just as much back myself ✨

Thankyou & my beautiful family for everything x
