Speakers
Jelena Dokic
The former world no. 4 tennis player, Jelena Dokic is a living testament to resilience, triumph, and the unyielding spirit of a true champion. Her journey on the court has been nothing short of awe-inspiring, marked by monumental victories and a fearless determination that defies all odds.
At a mere 16 years old, Jelena etched her name in tennis history by orchestrating one of the sport’s most astounding upsets, dethroning the formidable Martina Hingis, the world number 1, at Wimbledon. This iconic victory propelled her to the tournament’s quarter-finals, a precursor to her consecutive semi-final appearances the following year at just 17, a testament to her precocious talent and steely resolve.
However, beyond the world of grand slams and stadium lights lies a narrative of unparalleled courage and perseverance. A two-time refugee, Jelena bore the weight of adversity early in life, navigating a path fraught with bullying and racism. Yet, her most daunting battle unfolded within the confines of her own home, a harrowing ordeal of abuse endured at the hands of her father for over 15 agonising years, starting at the tender age of 6.
The scars of this traumatic past manifested in the shadows of her success, casting a long, silent shadow on her mental health. It led her to the brink, where the darkness threatened to engulf her entirely. At 22, she stood at the precipice, grappling with the crushing weight of her experiences, contemplating a life teetering on the edge. Yet, it was this very darkness that ignited a resilient flame within her, a resolve to not only survive but to transcend and thrive.
Jelena emerged as a beacon of hope, bravely sharing her story through the pages of two bestselling books, Unbreakable and Fearless. These powerful narratives unmask the raw realities of her childhood abuse, the labyrinth of mental health struggles, diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and the profound journey of reclaiming one’s voice and strength, unshackling from the chains of the past. Her words echo as a testament to the immense power of sharing our stories and finding the resilience within to soar beyond limitations.
In 2024, Jelena’s story captivated audiences once again through the critically acclaimed documentary Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story. The film became a number one hit and, in 2025, was named Feature Documentary Production of the Year at the Screen Producers Australia Awards, and the 2025 Logies Best Factual or Documentary Program, solidifying her impact as both a storyteller and a symbol of survival.
Beyond the tennis court, Jelena has become an influential voice, a sought-after speaker, a compelling TEDx presenter, a revered commentator, and a familiar face in NINE’s coverage of the Australian Open and other grand slams. She’s not just an expert in sport but a living embodiment of the human spirit’s capacity to heal, rise, and lead.
Jelena’s story is a tapestry woven from threads of adversity, courage, and unwavering resilience, a testament to the unbreakable human spirit and the power of finding one’s voice, transcending the past, and thriving against all odds.

Dominic Price
Dom Price is a Work Futurist, team obsessive, and Partner at Be Luminous — and someone who has lived the chaos of scaling a business from the inside out. Joining Atlassian as employee #600, Dom stayed for 12 years as their resident Work Futurist, helping grow the company to over 16,000 people globally. That’s not theory — that’s scar tissue.
Dom operates at the intersection of tech and humans, and his mission is simple: upgrade the human operating system of how we work. Because as he’ll tell you, “a fool with a tool is still a fool… you’ve just made them faster.” In a world drunk on AI and the next shiny solution, Dom is the pragmatic voice asking whether your people are actually set up to use it well — driving change that’s sustainable, not just spectacular.
As a keynote speaker, Dom doesn’t trade in polished frameworks or borrowed wisdom. He shares real, lived experience — the messy, hard-won kind — which is exactly why he’s in demand. Less thought leader, more battle-tested practitioner.
Co-creator of the Atlassian Team Playbook, TED speaker, and advisor to C-suite leaders globally. Dom believes that work — and life — should be about thriving, not just surviving. A keen traveller and veteran of 53+ countries, he calls Australia home. Manchester made him. The rest? Still very much in progress.
