One of my new blogging friends and leadership coach/consultant, Lisa Haneberg, gave a wonderful endorsement of my site this past week. She was way too kind with her comments, but they were much appreciated.
As it turns out, Lisa and I have quite a bit in common–even more than I realized. We’re both authors. We’re both bloggers. We both have a passion for equipping other leaders. And, as I learned through her post, we’re both “not very religious” people. I tried religion, and it left me feeling frustrated and empty. Funny thing is, as I read the Bible, I don’t think Jesus liked religious people either. But that’s probably a topic for a separate post.
Lisa is in the middle of a fun pilot project called “2 Weeks 2 a Breakthrough.” She has teams of people from throughout the world who are participating in the pilot program. It’ll be fun to read about what she learns through that process.
I found Lisa through her other management blog called Management Craft. I especially appreciated this post where Lisa asked the question: Is no management better than bad management? In my opinion, as I noted in her comments, the answer is “yes.”
Tony:
One of the reasons why I appreciate your blog and recommend it is because every now an then you surprise me/the reader. I like that. Your comment about not being very religious caught me off guard, and I realized that my assumptions about leaders of churches is perhaps out of date. Thanks, again!
Tony:
I am one of the lucky people to participate on Lisa’s breakthrough project. A lot of really good things have happened on that project, good life-changing things, and good guidelines – I am only on Day 4 of 14.
One of the better things to have happened has been finding your blog off Lisa’s blogroll. It is so refreshing to read comments like yours from someone who is not religious.
Dave, tell me more about that. Why do you find it refreshing?
