What is the Greatest Gift You Have Ever Received?

Today is Christmas. This is perhaps the most celebrated holiday in the entire world.

Gift giving is core to the message of Christmas. For unto this world a child was born, a gift for all mankind who believe. If you celebrate this holiday, I want to wish you and yours a blessed Christmas.

Now to my question…

I’m working on a new business book (coming out this summer from Wiley). I toyed with the idea of keeping it quiet. But then I realized how cool it would be to have you involved.

Giving Gifts

The section of the book I’m writing now is on the power of giving genuine gifts to others. Others could be your readers, customers, or industry experts.

Here are some of the thoughts I’m working on:

True gifts engage people and help build relationships. A gift is something given without expectation of anything in return. The recipient does not earn it.

Gifts show your appreciation or provide no-strings-attached gestures of assistance.
