Why do only a few people truly excel? Some point to innate talent. Others suggest education. Research doesn't support either. In Where's the Gift? you'll discover the secret that few have learned: the ability to capitalize on feedback, in all its forms, will do more to drive success than IQ, education, or talent. In this remarkable book, Michael-John and Nigel Bristow demonstrate that there is incredible power in feedback. Whether you call it advice, suggestion, criticism or even insult, feedback gives you the power to change, build stronger relationships, achieve more of your goals, and to do so with fewer bumps and bruises. Where's the Gift? employs a classic African folktale and a simply story backed by years of research and real-world experience. The message appeals to individuals form all walks of life, and has already had a major impact on people and corporations around the world. The straightforward lessons in this book will make you more effective at work, school, and home, and the benefits will last a lifetime. As the authors like to say: change a little, gain a lot.

Michael-John Bristow and Nigel Bristow are international consultants and speakers who have helped thousands find the power in feedback. Their years of experience and ongoing research put them at the forefront of talent development and organizational effectiveness training. They have consulted with organizations around the world, including 3M, Boeing, ConocoPhillips and Textron. They have personally shared this message on six continents (not being fond of sub-zero temperatures, they hope the book will make it to Antarctica on its own). Michael-John and Nigel were born in South Africa before immigrating to the United States. Michael-John is the founder and President of Step Change Learning, a training and consulting firm that uses the latest research in cognitive neuroscience and psychology to help organizations and individuals reach their full potential.
"Where's the Gift?" is as profound a work as any I have read. Michael-John and Nigel Bristow's simple understated approach sheds light on one of the most important things we all need to do more: listen and learn to all forms of feedback, without judgment or emotion. They have been talking about "mindfulness" long before it became popular. I believe "Where's the Gift?" to be the single most important catalyst for any success I have today, professionally or personally. --Neal Suggs, Vice President & Associate General Counsel, Worldwide Sales, Microsoft
"Where's the Gift?" is a hard-hitting to-the-point book which emphasizes the value of properly "digesting" all feedback. Its benefits are applicable not just to supervisors but to everyone in the workplace and at home. --Eric McGonigle, Employee Development, Cessna Aircraft Company
