l The words we think and speak ultimately determine how we approach our challenges and if we achieve greatness . l Our legacy is thus determined by the words we live by . l And : I am not the answer . You are , once you find and recognize this truth — and understand how to fully embrace your authentic self ; how to recognize the light that is already within you ; and learn how to shine it outwardly onto others through love , compassion , gratitude and grace . And in so doing , becoming your own self-illuminating navigator , sharing this power you ’ ve always had within yourself with the world around you , and allowing it to then reflect back onto you 10,000-fold .
Pulse : ISPA attendees like to plan ahead for which education sessions they will attend . Who is your target audience ? LW : My ideal audience demographic is any attendee who wants to become the best human they can be and deeply believes that enhancing human equity will translate communication into connection , opportunities into purpose-driven endeavors , and net profit into legacy .
All success starts and ends with humanity above all else . Bring a journal , a pen , a clear mind , a phone in the “ OFF ” position and an open heart . This will be interactive and no PowerPoint presentation ! Imagine a verbal volley : The more game you bring , the more game I will bring .
Pulse : What are some common challenges that spa leaders may face in managing their businesses , and how would you suggest they address or overcome these challenges ? LW : Succeeding in business requires succeeding in relationships and most people struggle most with the relationship they have with themselves . From communicating clearly , to staying motivated , to maintaining accountability , to sharpening focus , to being optimistically contagious , leadership growth is a never-ending inside job . You want to win in business and life . Start by looking within . n
