Huddersfield woman Gina Battye has beaten hundreds of hopefuls to be shortlisted for the Speaker of the Year category at the Association of Professional Coaches, Trainers and Consultants (APCTC) Awards.
Gina, who runs Quarmby-based Health By Gina Ltd, stood out from the hundreds that were nominated for the 12 categories of the APCTC awards, which will be held on March 27. Judges selected her as one of only seven shortlisted for the category.
Now she is relying on her promotional video, in which she addresses a room of 200 professional speakers on how to take a holistic approach to becoming healthier and happier, to secure votes from the public.
Once voting has closed, it is then up to the APCTC judges to make the final decision on which of the top scoring shortlisted finalists receives the award for each category.
The awards, billed as the Oscars for coaches, trainers and consultants, takes place in London..
Gina said: “Being a finalist for Speaker of the Year is such an honour. Awards like this give recognition to professionals for their contribution to the industry. I am proud to be representing the speaking industry when I stand for this award.”
