A BRIEF GUIDE TO OUR THREE FEEDBACK BOOKS

Where’s The Gift?

  1.  Where’s the Gift? Using Feedback to Work Smarter, Learn Faster, and Avoid Disaster

Where’s the Gift? was written for those who (1) are primarily interested in mastering the receiving-side of the feedback conversation, and (2) want a hard-hitting, to-the-point book they can read and digest in about 60 minutes.

In Where’s the Gift? You will learn how to:

  • Get the timely feedback and information you need to achieve your goals.
  • Make sure that when someone has a concern involving you, you are the first rather than the last to know.
  • Lean into discomfort and always find the hidden gift in feedback, even when that feedback is vague, inaccurate, or poorly delivered.
  • Handle criticism with less anxiety and frustration, even when the feedback giver is unfair, misinformed, or punishing in their delivery.
  • Help those around you (team members, customers, supervisors, etc.) become your most effective coaches.
  • Turn critics into allies, and mistakes into stepping-stones for success.

The straightforward and easy-to-master concepts in this book will make you more effective in every aspect of your life, and the benefits will last a lifetime. As we like to say at Fdbk HQ: change a little, gain a lot.

3. Finding the Gift in Feedback—An Educator’s Guide to Excellence

Note: This book covers much of the same terrain as “The Feedback Breakthrough” and “Where’s the Gift?” but it tailors the concepts to the unique needs of school teachers, administrators, and principals.

In Finding the Gift in Feedback you will discover why the most dangerous feedback is no feedback at all. You will learn how to: 

  • Get the timely feedback you need to make a difference in the lives of the children in your classroom, your school, and your district.
  • Gain insight from the feedback you receive from both your supervisors and those in your charge.
  • Handle criticism with less anxiety and frustration.
  • Turn critics into allies and colleagues into coaches.
  • Make sure that when someone has a concern involving you, you are the first instead of the last to know.
  • Use feedback to help students achieve better outcomes.
  • Find the hidden gift in ALL feedback, even when it is vague, inaccurate, unfair, or poorly delivered.
REVIEWS OF FINDING

Finding The Gift In Feedback

Finding the Gift in Feedback has transformed my approach to criticism. When being observed by my principal and fellow educators, I used to think they were out to get me, and I thought I needed to be perfect. I only wanted to hear praise. I now welcome criticism as a key to my professional growth. I want observers to tell me what I can do to improve, not just what I did well. This compelling book has helped me harness the power of feedback to improve my teaching skills, my classroom management, and my students' learning.

Christina Ellis
Elementary School Teacher, Litchfield Park, Arizona
Finding the Gift in Feedback is an invaluable resource for both teachers and administrators. The book puts feedback in a new light and helps readers find genuine value in all feedback.
