Book Reviews

"I Am Talent is a comprehensive and practical handbook for anyone seeking to grow and develop themselves and their careers in the face of relentless change in their work and daily life. This engaging guide covers all essential elements of self development, talent development and talent management. The dynamic, personalized and interactive style makes it suitable for a wide range of readers; from early explorers to seasoned HR practitioners."

"So much of the writings on Talent approach the subject from the employers’ concerns in dealing with attraction, development and retention of talent and future leadership. This book is refreshingly different, as it approaches the subject from the individuals’ viewpoint, underpinned by the journey of self discovery and continual self evaluation, and all of the tools to be accessed."

"And rather than relying on the employers to be held to account for the total career development machinery, this book is about going concerns taking charge of their own career destinies [and lives!]. In the process, there are very good guidelines for employers too, in understanding and countering, the transition from young talent joining companies for life, to the current convention of building c.v’s across companies as a means to managing their careers."

"It is very obvious that John and Debbie truly do appreciate that each individual has inherent talents. Their combined work enables people from all walks of life to insightfully examine their current skills, attitudes and abilities from a mature and honest perspective. What they have put together is a real masterpiece that at last enables people to take charge of their life in a highly practical and insightful way."

"Working through this book is a brilliant personal investment to better understand your own strengths and match them with the opportunities in the market. A refreshing look at understanding your own talent, drivers and finding a fulfilling role in an increasingly competitive world."
