Testimonials for Jelena Dokic

Jelena brought many of our delegates to tears (in a good way). She was open, challenging, vulnerable, clear and very positive in her presentation. What a woman! An outstanding presenter that the delegates loved. We would recommend her for anyone who wants to understand the power of forgiveness and having an outstanding mentor.
Victorian Association of Catholic Primary School Principals

Jelena was so generous with her time. She arrived half an hour earlier than agreed which was so helpful. She was also so accommodating and stayed to sign books for half an hour after the event. Jelena's delivery of her story captivated our 600+ attendees and held their attention for the entirety of the 40 min keynote. Jelena has so much to give and our attendees loved her for it.

Jelena was generous with her time and honesty when speaking to our guests. She was completely open and raw and it allowed our guests to really get an insight to the woman she is. Her communication and professionalism was outstanding and we were so grateful that she went about and beyond her contract to support and attend our event. We could have listened to her all day and hope we can create another event just to have her back. Could not have been happier.
