– “A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world!”

Related is the quote from Samuel Goldwin:

– “When I want your opinion, I will give it to you.”

What we need is more involvement and engagement. I try to blog about these and related ideas on my blog at

Have FUN out there, too!

Lee would say that he has tried to use every challenging experience in his life to learn, grow, and press through the pain–nothing wasted! And, now his motivation is sharing his experiences with others, and you will be able to do the same someday. Wishing you more victorious days ahead. The Leading with Honor Team

It would be good to see a longer list of women leaders, including those in countries world-wide. As well, there are many in non-business environments who are worthy of praise. All are great role models for everyone.

Quite often I have heard women leaders speak and one thing I found common was how they praised their spouses for tremendous support behind them. It does take a lot more for women leaders to balance their career aspirations and personal lives so kudos to them and their supporting husbands.

]]> Comment on L2L Book Review: Leaders Open Doors by Debra Manesse, Professional Organizer, Assistant & Coach http://linked2leadership.com/2013/05/16/l2l-book-review-leaders-open-doors/#comment-120678 Fri, 17 May 2013 20:18:55 +0000 http://linked2leadership.com/?p=29140#comment-120678 Thank you for your article – our children (and grandchildren alike) are amazingly insightful! I think it’s their innocence & purity towards people & life that shines through their questions & responses, Their little filters (minds) haven’t been distorted, i.e; they have not ‘taken in’ wrong thinking or prejudices to distort truth as we adults have done. Therefore they ‘see’ life in it’s purest & simplistic nature. Perhaps that’s the way it was meant to be from the beginning of time. Truth & trust go a long way!

Just before reading your article I was talking to my roommate about the realization of how God has connected me with missionaries lately (the last 2 1/2 years) & how He has brought them into my life & space.

My current roommate is a missionary who will be getting married soon & moving out. My soon-to-be new roommate was on the mission field for several years.

Suddenly I was impressed with a thought so I shared it with her, ‘maybe I could offer my home (quaint as it is) to traveling missionaries where they could stay for a place of respite & provision?’ Thus, ‘opening doors for people’ enabling them to serve and/or work with greater effectiveness & ease.

Come to think of it, I have been a ‘professional’ door opener for the last 10+ years! As a Personal Assistant and Caregiver for the elderly I have opened doors for many people thus improving & enhancing their lives.

I am also close friends with a ‘traveling evangelist’ whom I would like to marry someday, if God’s will, yet I myself have never traveled as he does. Hm-m-m, food for thought.

Best regards!

Very similar to your advice, my wise husband has been encouraging me throughout this experience to seek meaning and gain, through personal growth, at least as much if not more than I’ve lost. That has made all the difference in my attitude and perspective.

Like you said, controlling behavior may help in the short term but is definitely not going to work for a long time and needs to be changed.

I congratulate the author also on helping children with special needs.
