Unconventional? Yes. Applicable? More than ever!*Master the Lever of Change -know when to push, when to back off, and how to manage the pushback.*Sharpen your others-oriented skills with mindful Appreciative Inquiry.*Become fluent in the language of Cross-sector Collaboration.Capture in a few hours what it took Bost 50 years to discover. By retracing his steps, you'll secure the "whys" as well as the "whats" and "hows." Then, you will have a few more tools to tackle the mission that you were called to accomplish. It works. It's waiting. It's time.ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Bost fondly refers to himself as a blind hog in a field of acorns. In other words, life is so full of opportunities to do what is best for everyone, that it doesn't take extraordinary skills. It takes heart.He learned to be "others-oriented" from his father and grandfather--blue-collar workers who respected all people long before it was politically correct. Standing on this core value--genuinely caring about the other person--Bost has built relationships that have lasted a lifetime.In fact, he claims, "Relational capital is the most precious asset that I own. And I will protect my relationships at all cost."It's these hard-earned relationships; with people in all five sectors, that consistently allow Bost to be the catalyst--the trusted connector--to achieve results only possible with cross-sector collaboration.His record stands for itself--50 years in five sectors moving the needle--Public Education (Associate Superintendent), Religion (Executive Pastor), Business (Owner), Politics (Mayor), and Social Reform (Activist).While most of his learning came from living and giving, he did earn his Bachelor of Science in Biology, Master's in Community Development, and subsequently an Ed.S. in Leadership and Administration from Appalachian State University.In 2018, Appalachian State University inducted John Bost into the Rhododendron Society, in honor of his significant impact as a teacher and a humanitarian. Like the rhododendron flower, Bost continues to bloom. Bost lives with his wife and soulmate, LaDonna Setzer Bost, in Clemmons, North Carolina.
