How Atlassian’s Work Futurist is flipping the script on how work really works.

In this episode of Amy speaks with Dominic Price, Atlassian’s Work Futurist and self-described recovering workaholic. 

From growing up in Manchester, UK to helping transform global organisations, Dom shares an honest, entertaining take on productivity, leadership, and the very human side of work.

Together, they explore what’s broken about modern work and what needs to change if we’re going to build something better.

They discuss why “high-performance teams” are a myth, how our obsession with busyness is holding us back, and why many wellness initiatives are more theatre than substance.

Dom explains how large companies can become unstuck from outdated ways of working, and why small businesses have an unfair advantage when it comes to learning and adaptability.

The conversation also touches on cultural differences in global workplaces, the role of honest conversations in team dynamics, and how to cut through the noise of tech tools to actually get work done. Dom reflects on his own journey, the impact of losing his sister, and how fatherhood has shifted his priorities and approach to boundaries.
