Books by Bob Oedy

“

Oedy writes with an authoritative but light tone about techniques to reach out, communicate and spur action."

Bill Knight – The Labor Paper

“Oedy penned a comprehensive rundown of just about every facet of the annual music festival. It’s a straightforward, fat-free read that ranges from tips on succeeding in the bowling tournament and festival do’s and don’ts.”

“

When I picked this up I wasn't sure what to expect. By the time you get to the last page you are inspired to make a difference.”

Eddie Cook

“It was suggested to me by my boss to read this book. It rapidly became my “Bible” to my everyday working routine.”
