I love to play with words. And, I love phrases that have a double meaning. ‘What’s your gift?’ is one example. I suspect most people will read this as ‘I have a gift or a super power…’ That might be so.
And, I want to point to the other way to answer this question. When you meet people what’s the gift you leave behind?
Today I met a couple of new people over coffee after we attended a seminar together. In listening to the challenges they are facing in their current projects I realized that I could help them in a simple way. One person was looking to make change happen. And, through my list of Book Rapper resources one of the best books on managing change is Switch by Chip and Dan Heath. Given I have a book summary of this book I offered to send this through ‘as a gift’ to help them out.
The other person was wrestling with the idea of leadership and inspiring people to take up the challenge. For me, the best resource around this is Warren Bennis’ On Becoming a Leader. Again, I have a Book Rapper issue derived from this book and I can send this along as another gift.

There’s a double whammy here… In my case, I give the gift of Book Rapper, which is an expression of some of my internal gifts and talents.
And, that’s the ideal gift… give away the thing that you are greatest at. How can you do this in a simple way?
QUESTION: What’s your gift? And, what gift are you willing to give away every time you meet someone?
