Greetings from Asia!
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s Monday evening here in Manila, Philippines. I arrived on Sunday, and since then I’ve been adjusting to the time difference and revisiting the wonderful culture and cuisine here. Although I wasn’t too disappointed to be greeted at the airport with…
Krispy Kreme Donuts!
Yes, my hosts met me with a box of Krispy Kremes. One more reason why this is going to be a fantastic visit to Asia.
At the last minute, Margaret and I decided that she would stay behind. We’re doing some renovations on our home, and we both thought it wise for her to be available to the contractors. Of course, this means that my hosts here have to put up with me alone – without her gracious presence. But as usual, they are taking great care of me.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) I speak here. Then I’m off to Shanghai, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur to talk more about leadership and dreams. I’ll be back on American soil the first week of July.
This isn’t my first visit to this continent, and I truly love teaching in Asia. Even when I experience a language barrier, I can sense the hunger and desire to grow in everyone I meet.
In a few venues, I’ll get a chance to teach on the message of my book, Put Your Dream to the Test. The idea of examining your dreams has connected in every culture I’ve shared it with so far. And I look forward to seeing people’s reactions here.
If you want to know more about Put Your Dream to the Test, you can use the “look inside” feature on Amazon.com.
I’m trying to share some of my day-to-day experiences via Twitter. So be sure to follow me if you want to stay up-to-date.
Magandang gabi!
(“Good evening” in Tagalog)
(Yes, I had help with that.)
Leadership off the legal pad
Posted by: | CommentsWelcome to the official weblog of John C. Maxwell.
There’s nothing I like better than speaking and writing about leadership. And for over thirty years, I’ve shared what I know about leading and influencing others through conferences, speaking engagements, books, audio recordings, and articles.
Much of my work has even ended up on the Internet in one form or another. But if you know me well, you’re aware that I can’t personally take much credit for that.
I’m just not very computer-savvy. I’m not exaggerating much when I say that I need help turning on a computer. I just prefer the feel of pen on paper, preferably yellow paper on a fresh new legal pad.
In spite of my lack of personal computer knowledge, I’ve finally been convinced to enter the 21st-century world of blogging. So with the help of my blog administrator, I plan to put my current thoughts on leadership here on this blog.
Starting today, I’ll be posting regularly right here at John Maxwell on Leadership. I look forward to the give and take of an online community. So I hope you join me and feel free to tell others.
And even though I’m still learning about Twitter, I’ll be Tweeting as @johncmaxwell. Follow me and join the conversation there.
