You need a speaker who doesn’t just hold attention-but electrifies a room. That’s me. I’m Karis Gill, multi–award-winning founder, storytelling strategies, and the go-to speaker for businesses ready to harness the neuroscience of storytelling to drive real action.

With over 100 high-impact workshops and keynotes delivered across industries, I bring high energy, sharp humour, and strategies that stick. My sessions are known for getting audiences laughing, scribbling furious notes, and walking away saying: “Why has no one taught us this before?”

Because no one teaches you how to sell, lead, or pitch through story. That’s where I come in. I show you the neuroscience and how the brain is wired for story, why decision-makers buy with emotion, not logic- and how to craft business stories that move people. This isn’t fluffy theory. It’s science-backed storytelling that gives your team an unfair advantage.

As a founder, I’ve generated multi–seven-figure revenues over the last 5 years, using the exact storytelling principles I now teach. Whether I’m delivering a keynote to thousands or running an intimate workshop for your team, my goal is the same: to make you better at storytelling than 99% of people you’ll ever meet.

If you're ready to stop sounding like everyone else and start speaking in a way that connects, converts, and compels- let’s talk.

Madison Rolley is a travel strategist and digital educator helping over 270,000 travelers move through the world with more clarity, strategy, and ease.

Through her short-form educational content and digital tools, she is redefining what modern, accessible travel can look like for a new generation.

Across Instagram and TikTok, Madison has built a highly engaged community of over 270,000 in under three years by focusing on clarity-first travel strategy, calm content, and high-impact systems.

Her short-form videos — which have helped hundreds of thousands plan trips for a fraction of the cost — have driven impressive traffic, including one TikTok video that surpassed 30 million views. One organic viral post sent thousands of visitors to a travel deal company’s website and social channels, resulting in 10,000+ new followers, 10,000+ email subscribers, a temporarily crashed site, and more than 30,000 new community members who now trust Rolley for travel insights and strategy.

Her flagship product, the Travel Tuesday Hub, organizes real-time global travel deals into a filterable, streamlined platform — giving users the ability to find and book smarter during the most competitive travel deal season. The Hub launched with over 500 paid users in its first campaign, entirely through organic content.

Her audience doesn’t follow her for aesthetics — they follow her because they trust her. Her work has been highlighted in Business Insider, Newsweek, The Washington Post, and more.

Since taking her first solo trip at 19 while studying abroad in the south of France, Madison has gone on to visit 20+ countries across three continents. Now 27, she continues to empower travelers around the world and lead by example — building tools, systems, and storytelling that are reshaping how modern travelers move.
