Terry Rogers has been a practicing physician for over 56 years. He was the director of respiratory and  critical care at Seattle Swedish Hospital,  served  a Senior Medical Officer and  CEO for King County Blue Shield.  He was also CEO of the Foundation for Healthcare Quality in Seattle.  He retired as Medical Director of Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers and still sees patients on a weekly basis. Terry has given his life to the good health of other people.

Terry is also the author of Faces of Recovery,  a remarkable book that features before and after photos of patients who have been in a 28 day residential treatment program.  The visual alteration that occurs during treatment is stunning. Terry's photography provides these people with self-evidence that they can live a healthy life.

In our conversation, Terry talks candidly about the corrosive effects of alcohol and drugs, his own experiences and the power that art and photography can have in how we see ourselves and what we can achieve.

021_Benjamin Taylor: This week I am talking with Benjamin Taylor about Systems Leadership, Barry Oshry and his deep commitment to transform public services. His core purpose is improving the lives of those most in need of support. Benjamin has built his consultancy, RedQuadrant, into a dynamic resource for helping UK governments agencies, charities and NGOs. The depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience in providing the most useful resource and intervention to match the situation is based on his mastery of multiple change frameworks and tools. And to prove it, he has brought his treasure chest and parked it just down below. Enjoy.
