OUR STORY

The Business Book Club was founded with the purpose to share knowledge. Knowledge is the start of change, an inevitable process of business and life, and one can obtain it through various means. Books are our favourite way and what is better than to have a conversation with the author. Sharing knowledge through questions and answers helps us understand how each of us can affect change in a positive way. The Business Book Club meets monthly where we invite an author to showcase their book and share their knowledge. Through conversations with the author, we grow our leadership capability by understanding how we can change our business environments.

OUR VISION

To Promote Knowledge.

To Give & Share Unconditionally.

To make a difference in the SA economy by helping people to change their situation through knowledge.

HOW IT WORKS

Once or twice a month between 19h00 and 21h00, The Business Book Club hosts an event in Johannesburg (varying venues around Sandton and Fourways) and Cape Town. A guest author is invited to showcase their book and share their knowledge. Through conversation with the author, interaction with the audience, and networking with entrepreneurs, knowledge is gathered on how to grow and change in the business environment and to gain leadership skills.

Entrance Fee: a pre-loved (business) book donation.
