In conversation with Dr Agnes Bryan

In this episode of SWM, I am in conversation with Management
& Organisational Consultant, psychotherapist, Executive Coach
and writer Dr Agnes Bryan. 
Having both recently spent time with family in the Caribbean
we share our initial thoughts of sunnier climes and clearly have
both valued the restorative nature of our travels.  We move
on to talk about her long and illustrious career in health and
social care education, her work with the Tavistock & Portman
National Health Trust in the UK as a member of the Senior
Management Team and her current interests in what she claims is
her retirement. 


Agnes shares some wise thoughts about her time at the Tavistock
where she was often the only person from a BAME background, she
shares what that was like and what she achieved in her
role.  Agnes also shares some interesting thoughts about
what might motivate people to train in this profession. 
  Agnes has great energy, passion and commitment and
this definitely comes through in her reflections on the past
present and her future.


Agnes also encourages SW's to write and is closely involved with
the  Journal of Social Work Practice 
 https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/cjsw20   who have
a special edition coming out in 2020, in which there will be a
number of articles from practitioners - internationally - who we
might not ordinarily hear from, I'm really looking forward to
reading this edition.
