"Building resilience is about how many times you have raised yourself from the ground, not how many times you have succeeded."

The ACS QLD Emerging Professionals Community hosted Screw Up Stories, an evening full of honesty, humour, and hard-won career lessons.

Speakers included Peter Tippett, Beau Tydd, Lisa Horney, Gabriela Guiu-Sorsa, who shared their personal stories of setbacks, missteps, and the unexpected lessons that came from them. Attendees left inspired, reminded that mistakes are not the end of the road but stepping stones toward growth.

Event Highlights:

• Opening Presentations: Speakers reflected on moments that challenged them and the insights gained.
• Panel Discussion: A candid conversation about resilience, adaptability, and embracing imperfection.
• Q&A Session: Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from industry leaders.
• Nibbles & Networking: A relaxed setting to connect, share experiences, and build lasting connections.

Whether navigating career transitions, tackling challenges, or simply seeking motivation, this event reinforced that setbacks can be transformed into foundations for future success.

At Screw Up Stories, failure was reframed not as something to fear, but as an inevitable part of growth.
