If you enjoy the thrill of uncovering you hidden strengths, you'll love what you'll discover inside this fun learning novel. Follow Oscar, a somewhat stressed, overworked, nonprofit Executive Director as he struggles to move his organization and career to the next level.
Although written for nonprofits, this little bestseller has spread like wildfire into the business community. After their initial exposure to Let's Have Lunch Together on nonprofit boards, many leaders have adopted Oscar's practices and put them to work growing their strategic business alliances, as well as their customer and vendor relationships.
There's probably a little bit of Oscar in all of us. He's a great person, who's deeply committed, has a strong vision, and works extremely hard. Like most of us, he's challenged by time, staff, and a tightening budget. He fears things will stay the same and he fears things will change.
"I enjoyed this easy read and
immediately put into practice Oscar's techniques with my clients.
What a blast!"
Jeff Mason
Financial Planner

There's really only one thing holding Oscar back. Although he feels he's building tons of relationships, he's actually building tons of micro-connections. He just cant figure out what more he can do, or what he can do differently to move his micro-connections into strong collaborative relationships.
Follow his journey as a highly successful business woman, from his board, helps him transform a $500 donor into a $10,000 annual giver, strangers into $25,000 major gift donors, and a friend who donates sodas for events into a supporter who helps him raise $250,000 each and every year. Imagine growing your customer's commitment on this level. Oscar's successes are not fiction. They're very real. Our clients actually made all of this happen, and much more.
"Spending time with this book was
the most fun I've ever had being trained.
At first I resisted, then I realized, 'This is my story.'
I finally got the 'Ah ha.' This is a resource that I will use over and over."
Tim Reese
Executive Director,
California-Nevada Community Action Partnership
Step-by-step, you'll see exactly how he converts his board into a powerful leadership team and turns an unhappy donor into his strongest community advocate - an advocate who subsequently helps him raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Imagine having these types of strategic relationships supporting you and your business?
If you're a president, executive director, senior manager, board member, or responsible for sales, development, customer service or marketing, sit back and enjoy this fun book. You'll experience a whole new world in your work and your life too.
