A golden trio representing the Gold Coast for Dancing CEOs 2025—Sally Pearson OAM, Nicole Joy, and Liz Cantor are ready to take the stage, raising awareness and vital funds for WLSQ within their community.
 

Sally Pearson OAM is celebrated as one of Australia’s greatest Olympians and the nation’s most successful track athlete. Sally made her Olympic debut in the 100m hurdles, earning silver—Australia’s first hurdles medal in 40 years. She went on to make history at the 2012 London Olympics, winning gold in the 100m hurdles and setting a new Olympic record. In 2017, Sally claimed the World Championship title in London before retiring in 2019.

For her outstanding contributions to sport, Sally was awarded the Order of Australia Medal, Australia’s highest individual honor. Now, she’s trading the track for the dance floor, ready to bring her competitive spirit to Dancing CEOs.
 

Nicole Joy is a speaking coach and the founder of SHEspeaks, a groundbreaking platform empowering emerging female speakers. SHEspeaks provides women with the tools to craft their signature talks and the opportunity to present them at unforgettable events—imagine TED Talks meets Taylor Swift.

With nearly two decades of experience speaking on stages and starring in TV commercials for some of Australia’s biggest brands, Nicole knows that confidence isn’t a rare gift but a skill we all possess. Her mission is to help others rediscover and embrace it—something she calls her “favourite job in the world.”

Liz Cantor is one of Queensland’s most beloved television presenters. She’s a familiar face as the weather presenter on Ten News First and host of lifestyle shows like Creek to Coast and Weekender on Channel 7.

​

With a Prima Ballerina for a grandmother, dance is in Liz’s DNA. She’s ready to channel that heritage onto the Dancing CEOs stage, bringing her charm, energy, and grace to help make a difference for WLSQ.
