Keynote Speaker Line-Up Includes Lisa Ling, Peter Sheahan

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The International SPA Association (ISPA), announced the keynote speaker line-up and details for its 22nd Annual Conference and Expo to be held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Fla. from Oct. 15-17, 2012.

This year's conference theme of Inspire will resonate with attendees through an exciting line-up of notable keynote speakers that will kick-off on Monday, October 15 with Jim Collins author of the international bestseller "Good to Great." His most recent book is "Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck-Why Some Thrive Despite Them All," coauthored with Morten Hansen. It answers the question: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not?

Lisa Ling, an award winning journalist and former co-host of The View, will provide the keynote address on the second day of conference. Ling can currently be seen on Our America with Lisa Ling on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) and as a contributor to ABC News' Nightline and National Geographic's Explorer. Ling's achievements span the globe and her perspective delves into some of the most challenging, thought-provoking issues in society today.

Peter Sheahan, founder and CEO of ChangeLabs™, and author of the international bestsellers "Fl!p" and "Generation Y" will close out the ISPA Conference & Expo during the Wednesday, October 17 General Session. His newest book "Making It Happen" unpacks his insights on how the best leaders and entrepreneurs execute on their good ideas, and turn them into profitable results.

"We are thrilled to have three world-class speakers on the ISPA stage this year," said ISPA President Lynne McNees. "The pressures of growing and leading a business in the rapidly changing world we live in today are enormously challenging. Each of these incredible speakers can share first-hand stories that will educate and inspire our attendees to prosper and thrive in any circumstances."

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
