CAREY CONLEY
About Carey Conley
Carey Conley is an author, speaker, coach, and vision leader who has built successful sales and marketing businesses for more than 20 years. She owns Infinity Corporation, a coaching practice that has helped hundreds of people create and execute a clear vision for their personal and professional lives.
Her entire body of work rests on one idea, that a clear and specific vision is what turns ambition into action. Through her vision methodology, Carey helps individuals, families, corporations, nonprofits, and universities name what they actually want across every area of life, then build the blueprint and the daily habits that move them toward it.
Carey is the co-author of Keep Looking Up: Transforming Grief into Hope After Tragedy, written with her daughter Laurel. After losing her husband and son to suicide three years apart, Carey transformed her grief into a mission to help others find purpose, hope, and direction through adversity. It is a story she tells with warmth rather than weight, and it is why her audiences trust her when she talks about building a future after a season that took one away.
On stage, Carey pairs two decades of business building with the practical structure of her coaching practice. Audiences do not leave with inspiration alone. They leave with a seven-area life vision, a written blueprint, a plan for the roadblocks they already know are coming, and a consistent set of actions they can start on the same week.

Carey's signature keynote for women's audiences, built around the practical work of designing a life on purpose rather than by default.

The tone is warm and direct, and every section ends with something the audience can act on.

The same vision methodology, rebuilt for an audience standing at the front end of adult life.
Carey helps young adults set goals they actually believe in, manage their emotions through pressure and setback, build early financial stability, strengthen their relationships, and grow into the kind of leaders other people follow. It is written for students and early-career professionals who want a plan rather than a pep talk.

Built on Carey's own story, and on the book she wrote with her daughter Laurel.
Designed for audiences moving through loss or major life transition, this keynote is about what it takes to find meaning again and to build forward from a place you did not choose.
Carey speaks about resilience, gratitude, connection, and hope with the credibility of someone who has done the work rather than studied it. She is candid about her own experience and equally clear that the point of the talk is the audience's future, not her past.
The Audience Will Leave With
- A way to hold grief and forward motion at the same time
- Practices for gratitude and connection that hold up in hard seasons
- Permission to build a meaningful future after a season that took one away
- A first step they can take before they leave the room
Ideal for: Nonprofit and community events · Faith-based gatherings · Healthcare and caregiver audiences · Organizations navigating loss or major change
A keynote about getting specific. Carey helps audiences envision what they genuinely want personally and professionally, then shows them how to rise above adversity and build a life on their own terms.
Attendees learn that they can change their future, rewrite the narrative they have been carrying, treat adversity as an opportunity rather than an ending, and stay focused through the seasons that test them.
The Audience Will Leave With
- A concrete picture of what they want, personally and professionally
- A method for rewriting the narrative they have been telling themselves
- A way to find the opportunity inside adversity
- Tools for staying focused through a difficult season
Ideal for: Corporate leadership events · Annual conferences · Team offsites · Association keynotes
The most hands-on version of Carey's vision methodology, and the one audiences most often ask to run as a workshop.
Carey walks the room through building a seven-area life vision, turning it into a blueprint, naming the roadblocks in advance, and committing to a consistent action plan. The premise is simple and encouraging. Someday is available now, and it arrives on the back of a written plan.
The Audience Will Leave With
- A seven-area life vision written down, not just imagined
- A blueprint that translates the vision into steps
- A named list of roadblocks and a plan for each
- A consistent action plan they can start immediately
Ideal for: Half-day and full-day workshops · Leadership retreats · Kickoff meetings · Coaching cohorts
Carey's framework for the relationship between mindset, behavior, consistency, and achievement.
She teaches audiences how to form the habits that actually support their goals, how to redirect negative thinking before it compounds, how to recognize the opportunity sitting inside a challenge, and how to stay committed when the early enthusiasm has worn off.
The Audience Will Leave With
- The full C.R.Y.S.T.A.L. Formula and how to apply it
- A habit-building method tied directly to their goals
- Practical tools for redirecting negative thinking
- A way to stay committed long after motivation fades
Ideal for: Sales kickoffs · Performance and culture events · Corporate training · Association conferences
