Dr Jason Fox is a wizard-philosopher masquerading as a motivational speaker and leadership futurist — and arguably the most compelling presence you'll encounter on a conference stage. He works with clever, questing teams seeking meaningful progress beyond the default, and his client list reads like a Fortune 500 roll call: Microsoft, Red Bull, Novartis, Toyota, KPMG, Cisco, Salesforce and more.​

The bestselling author of The Game Changer and How to Lead a Quest, Jason has lectured at three universities in systems and behaviour, and his monthly museletter reaches more than 11,000 leaders worldwide. In 2016, Professional Speakers Australia named him Keynote Speaker of the Year — the highest honour of the craft.​

At Communitas '26, Jason won't be delivering a keynote. He'll be delivering a provocation. Expect to leave with more questions than you arrived with. That, as it turns out, is exactly the point.​.

Rebecca Johnston-Ryan came to principal life through the sharpest possible training ground: Victoria Police Family Violence, the Coroners Court of Victoria, Russell Kennedy Lawyers, and the Fitzroy Legal Service. She holds degrees in Law and Arts from the University of Adelaide and a Master of Laws from La Trobe University, and served as a Board Member of the Law Institute of Victoria.​

As Founding Principal of Johnston Ryan Legal, a Melbourne firm specialising in criminal law, family violence and personal safety matters, Rebecca has built something that looks a lot like the future of accessible legal practice — grounded in empathy, stripped of jargon, and unapologetically community-facing. She is, in her own words, your legal big sister: the lawyer who guides you through the system with clarity and without judgement.​

At Communitas '26, Rebecca brings the hard-won wisdom of a practitioner who has seen both sides of the bar, and who is building a practice life that is sustainable precisely because it is honest.

Justine McKeogh is the Director of Annara Consulting and a force for reimagining what it means to practise law as your whole, wired-differently self. With over 38 years in allied health as a registered Occupational Therapist, Behaviour Practitioner and certified Neurodivergent Coach, Justine works at the charged intersection of neurodivergence and the legal profession — coaching neurodivergent lawyers and helping organisations identify and harness their own neurodivergent strengths.

Her research and writing on neurodivergence in legal practice has been featured in Lawyers Weekly, where she explored the prevalence of neurodivergent brains in law firms and the strategies that allow those brains to genuinely thrive. She doesn't treat neurodivergence as a deficit to be managed. She treats it as an edge to be held.​

At Communitas '26, Justine brings her manifesto to the room — a call to arms for a profession that is only just beginning to reckon with the extraordinary range of minds that have always been doing its most important work.

Megan Puszkar founded Macedon Ranges Family Law in Gisborne, Victoria in 2013 with a clear vision: that authentic, consistent legal advice could make even the most difficult moments feel human. With nearly two decades of legal experience and a practice specialising in family law and wills and estates, Megan has spent her career proving that warmth and tenacity are not in conflict.

She is known for her open-minded approach, her gift for making the complex accessible, and her deep commitment to empowering clients to face the future with confidence. Beyond her practice, Megan is a respected mentor and an active presence in her regional community — the kind of principal who builds a practice around life, not the other way around.​

At Communitas '26, Megan brings the perspective of a founder who has navigated the middle chapters of a legal career with both eyes open — and is here to talk honestly about what it takes to make it last.
