My guest is Byron Jackson, the Executive Director of Possibilities, Inc., an organization which has a mission to strengthen the ability of people to work together for community change. Byron came to Possibilitieswith a background in social work, earning his degree at the University of Oklahoma. He has an impressive track record of presenting community training on cultural diversity, team building, and many other topics. His skill in working with diverse groups along with his humor, unpredictable behavior, his odd assortment of clothing, and extensive community contacts provides the Possibilities team with many important assets.
In this episode, Byron shares his passion for serving others, which came about through a lifetime of experience in social work as well as recovery from addiction. After being selected as the Director of the organization he served for years, he immediately found himself at a baseball-inspired crossroads: either swing for the rafters, or take a seat on the bench. Presented with a looming budget deficit, he was advised that it might be time to close the doors forever. However, Byron has a bold new vision which has attracted the leadership and donors needed to keep the organization working together for community change.
