ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
A Commonwealth short story award winner, and author of 'The Familiar Stranger and Other Stories,' Dr. Frederick Mordi, has released his second novel, The Talent Coach, reports ITREALMS.Published by New Africa Book Publishers (NABP), The Talent Coach is a tour de force that adds a new perspective to the nature versus nurture debate. The novel tells the compelling story of Dr. Joe Jordan a highly sought after by many high-profile clients including CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies, heads of state, and athletes.
Dr. Jordan visited Nigeria recently at the invitation of a leading new-generation bank. While in the country, the celebrated orator, who is often described as a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge, met with Nigerians from all walks of life.
As he had done in the 62 other countries across all the continents of the world that he had visited, Dr. Jordan helped many Nigerians to literally re-discover their hidden talents and taught them how to mine their natural endowments to become successful in life; using the 12 principles that he had carefully curated.
The pulsating novel has a length of 206 pages, divided into a prologue, 12 topics, each with a striking quote, which drives home the message intended for the reader, and an epilogue.
There is also a workbook at the end of the novel that Dr. Jordan had developed to help people carry out a critical self-assessment of their talent and become a better version of themselves.
From debunking the myth that talent is exclusive to a select few, to exploring the intricate relationship between nature and nurture, Dr. Jordan expertly guides readers on a journey of self-realisation and shows them how to unleash their innate potential.
In the first topic, "Everybody Has Talent," he emphasised the universality of talent and dispels the notion that it is confined to a lucky few, while the second topic "Nature or Nurture" delves into the long-standing debate surrounding the origin of talent.
The Talent Coach offers indispensable advice on the need to focus on one's strengths and stay committed to a chosen path, in the next topic: "Remain In Your Field"& "The Icarus Parado" looks at the challenges some talented individuals often face in sustaining stasis in stardom.
In "Practice Makes Perfect," he highlights the undeniable role of deliberate practice in honing talent, while "Dealing With The Impostor Syndrome" equips readers with the tools to overcome self-doubt and embrace their accomplishments. Dr. Jordan guides readers on how to build their emotional strength to enable them to bounce back from setbacks in "What Is Your Adversity Quotient?"
These are just a few samples of the interesting concepts that the novel, which is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking personal and professional growth, offers readers. The author’s engaging writing style and adroitness in the use of dialogue will hold the attention of readers to the end.
The Talent Coach has received rave reviews and endorsements from acclaimed experts. According to Fela Durotoye, an executive coach, leadership expert, global speaker, and nation builder: “Through the pages of this brilliant book, the ultimate talent coach himself, Fred Mordi, helps us to unravel the mystery of TALENT, as the secret place of our greatness.”
Professor Emurobome Idolor, the first to obtain a PhD degree in Music from a Nigerian university, said “The factual content of this book makes it all-important for parents and children to own.”
For Olakunle Kasumu, presenter/producer, Channels Book Club Show, “All the recurrent questions about talent, natural abilities, acquired skills, and nature versus nurture, are answered as you read a story that is, in itself, captivating.”
The Talent Coach is available for purchase in leading physical bookstores across Nigeria, and in digital bookstores such as Amazon, Lulu and Selar.
Dr. Mordi, the author of the book, is a corporate communications practitioner with over two decades of experience cutting across journalism, public relations, government affairs, stakeholder management, change management, and reputation management.
