ConneCt WIth me on faCebook! lynne Walker mcnees over the Years, We have been blessed with incredible keynote speakers at the iSPa conference & expo. most notable among them are favorites like John Wooden, Sidney Poitier, maya angelou, Simon Sinek, Peyton manning and Brene Brown—all standout speakers, but for different reasons! after this year’s keynotes, i know that a few more names will be added that list of all-time iSPa favorites. one that’s sure to make my personal list is mick ebeling. now that is a true humanitarian! many of you cited mick’s keynote as the best part of your #iSPa2019 experience. here’s what one attendee had to say: “Mick Ebeling was the highlight for me. He was so moving and inspirational, and I could not help but cry during his presentation hearing about what a world of good he is doing! He makes me want to be a better person. Kudos to him for the incredible changes he is making in people’s lives.” We were all moved not only by his incredible story, but also by the outpouring of support and personal stories you all shared with him as he walked the expo floor. many of you want to stay connected with mick and not impossible Labs, and so does he! mick was really taken with our group and recently reached back out to us; he wants to find a way to stay in contact and collaborate with iSPa attendees. not impossible’s mission is not very different from iSPa’s. their website states it clearly: “if not YoU, Who? if not noW, When?” there’s no better time to start fixing the world than right now. at the end of the day, we all seek to make the world a better place—to see things that need to be improved and commit to improving them. as an industry full of thoughtful, healing leaders, applying mick’s philosophy in our day-to-day experiences will help us identify challenges and know that they’re truly “not impossible” to overcome. dIgItal PulSe exClusIve! anything is possible when we work together! mIssed mICk at ConferenCe?
