The golden book of Business Presentation Skills by Prajeet Budhale: book review

A Guidebook for Entrepreneurs

Businesses have always fascinated me. They do not restrict people to degrees or cubicles. Businesses offer you to fly, “IF” you have the courage that it demands. An absurd idea that you can present to the world is the first and probably the most important step of any business. This book, The Golden Book of Business Presentation gives us practical tips from a successful businessman himself.


Having a business idea and being able to display that in front of people needs skills. Stage fright or the fear to present your ideas to a panel is a different task. If someone gave me pointers on how to know these do’s and don'ts of a presentation, it would be really helpful. This book does the exact same. Written in a workbook format, it gives the reader an immersive experience and practical, real-life solutions to the real-life problems that arise during presenting. Ranging from building a presentation to tackling the questions and doubts of the panel that you’re presenting in front of. It throws light on the thought process of the interviewer and the audience and lets us understand their perspectives too.


The author Prajeet Budhale himself has 21 years of experience in business consulting and coaching. So, when someone with that status tells you to do something, you take the advice very seriously. It is not some random ideas, it is a detailed review of those ideas, compressed in a 100+ pages book. I wish I could summarize this book like this book teaches me to summarize my presentations. It is a joyous read. You will learn a lot and gain a lot of insights.
