Seattle, WA—The Noble Edge: Reclaiming an Ethical World One Choice at a Time, by Christopher Gilbert, PhD, received a 2021 Speak Up Talk Radio Firebird Book Award in the Business/Motivational category. Sponsored by Speak Up Talk Radio, the Firebird Book Award website relates that "each book is meticulously evaluated by two of our 17 available judges, based on our scoring system that evaluates the content as well as the quality of the writing and production aspects. All judges evaluate using the same scoring criteria."
The Noble Edge previously won a Paris Book Festival Award in the Business Category, a Pinnacle Book Award in the Mind, Body & Spirit Category, a finalist in the Canadian Book Club Awards, the Gold Medal Literary Titan Award, one from the Hollywood Book Festival in the Business category and a 2021 International Impact Book Award in the Leadership category.
The foundation for the book is Gilbert's private sector business experience, research and as an International Ethics consultant to governments and corporations around the world. Noble Edge Consulting, co-founded by Gilbert in 2014, is "committed to providing leadership development training that focuses on creating a culture of ethics, trustworthiness and building strong relationships. Our executive team brings more than 50 years combined experience working with leaders around the globe to provide solutions that increase self-awareness, remove barriers and support personal and professional empowerment. Because after all, people aren't IN the organization, people ARE the organization."
"The Noble Edge is a remarkably inspirational self-help book that will provide readers with the tools they need to make better choices in their lives. I recommend the chapters on the wisdom of ethics, truth of ethics, subjectivism, relativism and transformation. Christopher Gilbert, PhD, writes as if he is having a one-on-one conversation with his readers." —Literary Titan, 5-Stars
"Gilbert highlights the pitfalls of relying on ethical "isms"—subjectivism, relativism, consequentialism, virtuism, and universalism—illustrating his points through dilemmas faced by an imaginary choice maker and stories about his own business challenges." —Publisher's Weekly Review
"This book invites you to go beyond yourself, to be a beacon of trust and honesty, to set the right example, and do the right thing." —Susan Keefe, Midwest Book Review, 5-Stars
In this increasingly toxic moral era, trust and authenticity grow more precious by the minute. The truth is that our most rewarding business, personal, and family relationships are founded on honesty. The Noble Edge invites readers into an inspirational conversation about building trust that is spiced with personal stories, humorous anecdotes, and invaluable guidance.
"The important ethical issues of today are not found in arguing about which schoolyard bully is the most unethical," says Gilbert. "That's the smoke in the moral room. The fire is our misguided belief that 'good' people make the good decisions and 'bad' people make the unethical ones, when we all go up and down the moral ladder every day."
"The Noble Edge is fast paced, easy to read and covers a lot of ground. I have not seen a distinction between morals and ethics as well delineated as in this work. It's a great primer for corporate and individual social responsibility." —Mike Philips, Board Chairperson, Alaira Capital Partners, London, Past Chairman and CEO Russel Investments
"In this very readable and practical approach to ethics, Chris Gilbert brings his years of experience, his substantial knowledge and research and his quick wit. Chris has made the topic approachable and straight forward." —Joe Lawless, Executive Director, University of Washington, Milgard Center for Leadership and Social Responsibility
