2025 PROGRAM
Workshop: Building a Professional Name. Reputation and Resilience at Work
DATE:
Friday 20 March, 2026
LOCATION:
Manly Youth Centre (The Writers' Room)
COST:
$30.00
What does it mean to conduct yourself as a professional in a rapidly changing world of work? Drawing on his book The Professional, Tony Frost explores how reputations are built and sustained, why curiosity and lifelong learning matter more than ever, and how individuals can remain purposeful and resilient over long careers. This practical session focuses on values, behaviour, and decision-making rather than technical skills, offering participants a framework for navigating work with confidence, integrity and adaptability.
