Stacey Edmonds

CEO
Lively, A Learning Agency

Stacey Edmonds is a social scientist, teacher, and multi-award-winning digital producer with a career spanning psychology, criminology, enterprise leadership, and learning design.

As Partner, Future of Learning at Deloitte, Director at Transport for NSW, and Senior Partner at Korn Ferry, she has spent two decades translating complex human behaviour into practical organisational change. She also serves as a juror at the New York Film Festival and International Business Awards.

Her focus for the past decade has been a specific and well-documented problem: phishing training that does not change behaviour. Research now shows it can make people more likely to click, not less. She approaches this through the lens of behavioural science rather than compliance, drawing on peer-reviewed evidence to make the case for what actually works. Her sessions are consistently rated the most engaging and practically useful of the events she speaks at.
