On the evening of 16 May, the much-anticipated winners of The Business Book Awards 2023, in Partnership with Pathway Group, were announced at its Annual Gala Dinner held at London’s The Drum in Wembley.
After whittling down 300 entries from around the world into a shortlist of over 100, a panel of expert judges pick the winners and runners up in each category and the Business Book of the Year 2023 is selected from their winners by Head Judge Jacq Burns.
This year Jacq Burns was delighted to announce Leader as Healer by Nicholas Janni (LID Publishing) won Business Book of the Year 2023.
Nicholas Janni, who also won the Leadership Book category said:
“I am deeply honoured to receive these awards and take them as a very strong affirmation of the work of healing and awakening that more and more of us are bringing to the corporate world and beyond. The world is terribly broken. We urgently need leaders who embody deep, soulful, heartfelt presence - bringing service to the greater whole as their primary commitment”.
The Business Book Awards are recognised for their drive to make the business book world as inclusive as possible, celebrating diversity of authors and welcoming traditional, hybrid and self-published books.
Founder of the Business Book Awards, Lucy McCarraher said: “In the sixth year of The Business Book Awards, we see the increasing significance of all the genres of books we include in ‘business’. From Leadership and Smart Thinking, through to Wellbeing, Self-Development and Work & Life, to Business Journeys and Diversity, the short-listed and winning books have important ideas and messages to disseminate to all areas of business life. The Business Book Awards are primarily for UK authors and publishers, but they have gained global recognition, and the number of entries to our ‘International’ category has been overwhelming this year.”
