Success is Never Accidental EP 63- Professor Robbie Gilligan

Many of you will know Professor Robbie Gilligan and the outstanding contribution he has made to social work in Northern Ireland and far beyond. In this week’s episode of Success is Never Accidental, I had the privilege of speaking with Robbie, a leading international authority in child welfare and social work. Based at Trinity College Dublin, where he has served as Professor of Social Work and Social Policy for over 20 years, Robbie’s work has shaped thinking and practice on resilience, care, and the life chances of children and young people in out-of-home care – not just in Ireland, but across the globe. We talked about clarity of focus, the power of relationships, and how true capacity is built with compassion. Robbie’s insights are both inspiring and practical for leaders across all sectors. I’d love to hear your reflections on his message.
