PRAISE FOR UNOPENED GIFTS II

“This is a fascinating business story and truly engaging read with multi-layered characters that will capture you. Both aspects offered me a tremendous opportunity to learn from the journey of the characters, and to examine my own. Thank you James. This is a gift!”

–STEVE BILT, CEO, SMILE BRANDS, INC & CHAIRMAN,
SMILES FOR EVERYONE FOUNDATION

“McPartland uses challenging moments in Kyle’s otherwise successful career to highlight the opportunities we all face in being honest with ourselves and communicating openly both at work and at home. Kyle’s journey gives us a safe and powerful way to confront the truths about ourselves that everyone else in our lives already knows. By shining a light on the obstacles that keep us from being fully transparent in our daily interactions, McPartland helps us clean up our emotional houses to become the best life partners and leaders we can be. Well done!”

–FRANK NAPOLITANO, PRESIDENT, 24 HOUR FITNESS

“In his work and life, James McPartland is a man of passion and purpose. Through the characters in this book, he examines the relational challenges we all deal with at work and at home, but in an entertaining and compelling way. There’s a message in this story for each of us about how we relate to the people in our lives, and how we can evolve. This is a great read!”

–DANIEL J. LUBECK, FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR,
SOLIS CAPITAL PARTNERS

“James McPartland has provided a front row seat to a timeless journey of self discovery and ultimately, the pursuit of mastering our own gifts. Kyle’s story quickly appears as familiar to the reader, and his path to growth especially relevant to the relationships that we value most. His willingness to learn from others is, by example, a gift that is pleading with us to be opened, offering the greatness of those who surround us. A must-read for anyone who succeeds on the strength of relationships.”

–DEAN PAPPOUS, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, GOLD’S GYM INTERNATIONAL

“McPartland’s great success in business is secondary to the substantial impact he has on people. As a mentor, colleague, and friend, it’s a gift to introduce people to his work.”

–ALDEN MILLS, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, COACH, AND ENTREPRENEUR

“Throughout the years I’ve seen McPartland develop companies, people, and most importantly, himself. He has personally provided me with powerful insight that has proven to be quite meaningful in the direction my life has taken. This book tells a story of the kind of impact McPartland’s work can have on the people he engages with.”

–JIM MIZES, CEO & PRESIDENT, BLAZE PIZZA

“James McPartland takes you on a deeper journey with this novel, navigating learnings from both positive and negative experiences. On this journey it is revealed that the learnings are abundant and our “teachers” are everywhere. A must read for the high performance growth mindset.”

–STEVEN RENATA, CEO, KIWA DIGITAL

“An easy read with many invaluable lessons. McPartland shares life lessons through a dialogue filled with characters you’ll likely recognize. I’ve found working with McPartland very helpful for putting life into perspective!”

–SHELLEY CHURCHMAN, DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE, LES MILLS US

“James McPartland is about as authentic as they come. Like so many successful people, James has had to overcome tremendous personal and business obstacles. His journey has compelled him to spend his life helping others learn how to embrace and overcome their own personal challenges and turn them into ‘gifts’. He does this through humility, humor, and amazing insight. I am honored to be a part of his journey and to benefit from his passion and compassion as a friend and mentor.”

–DAVID A FROSH, MANAGING DIRECTOR, WHISKEY HILL PARTNERS

McPartland’s warmth, humility, and genuine demeanor are legendary among those like myself, who have come to see him live out his philosophy and core values in both life and business over a long period of time. The fact of the matter is that Mac ‘walks his talk’. He is the real deal.”

–SHELDON WOLITSKI, CEO, THE SELECT GROUP

“Much like Kyle, I had to learn the true importance of relationships. I related to his growth in how he communicated with his wife and how she was as much of a business partner as his direct reports. We often neglect those closest to us, which can lead to resentment and a feeling of being disconnected. Through the experiences of Kyle, James has woven a story that is relevant to executives, managers, and leaders of all levels.

–MARIO DEPASQUALLE, VICE PRESIDENT, GOLDMAN SACHS PRIVATE BANKING

“James is a man who has made an impact on my life and who I’m lucky enough to call friend. His words continue to keep me inspired wherever I am at the time I’ve received them.”

–ERIC ERICSON, LEADERSHIP & OPERATIONS DIRECTOR,
POOL MANAGEMENT GROUP

“James has a unique and powerful way of making the complicated simple, and turning the simple into actionable results. He brings a fresh and unique approach to situations that begin at the core of the issues…the real foundation. His positive approach is contagious and impressive. He is a winner in life and in business.”

–GREG PALMER, CHAIRMAN, SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTHCARE STAFFING

“Whether it be in attendance at one of his seminars, gaining inspiration from his weekly blog, or learning much about myself through his books, I have experienced McPartland to be someone who has a rare gift; who dedicates his life to helping others find theirs.”

–STEVE HUNT, FRANCHISEE, SOLA SALON STUDIOS /
PAST PRESIDENT & CEO OF YAKTRAX, INC.

“If you invest the time to read this book, to find your own way to recognize the unopened gifts in your life, you will gain more than you ever imagined. And if you’re truly courageous, you can go further and discover that the most powerful unopened gift of all is the one closest at hand…Yourself.”

–BUDDY TEASTER, PRESIDENT & CEO, SOLES4SOULS, INC.

“McPartland’s book really makes you contemplate both your leadership style and how you relate to others in the workplace. An insightful read.”

–JULIA SUTTON, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, EXHALE

“Through our work together in the realm of executive coaching, my discussions with James McPartland have proven invaluable in advancing my leadership approach and style, ensuring I recognize each individual’s journey (whether at work or at home), and the part I am playing therein. By encouraging me to adapt my communication style to suit my audience – analyze results – and change again, I have grown as a leader and have strengthened relationships across the board. More than ever, I recognize the gifts people bring to me, as well as the gifts I have to give.”

–COURTNEY SUE WALDFOGEL, DIRECTOR, HOSPITALITY & DINING,
NESTLÉ NESPRESSO U.S.A.

“A wise person once said you can measure the success of one’s life by the quality and character of your friendships. I can truly say that my life is better because of my friendship with James.”

–ROBERT L “CHIP” HARRIS, FORMER CHAIRMAN & PRESIDENT OF ACACIA RESEARCH

“Working with James McPartland throughout the years has helped me identify some of my greatest gifts. I’m certain this book will help the reader identify some of their own.”
