The International SPA Association (ISPA) has announced that Marcus Buckingham will be the day two General Session keynote at the 2019 ISPA Conference & Expo, on 12 September in Las Vegas. Buckingham is a leading authority and best-selling author on employee productivity and best practices of leadership and management.
Buckingham’s goal as a ‘strengths revolutionist’ is to build a world where people are passionate about finding love and purpose in their work. Founder of the Love + Work Movement, Buckingham encourages people to create an impactful community that believes everyone has boundless potential.
“Marcus Buckingham’s insights on how to maximise workplace strengths will allow our attendees to build stronger, happier teams,” said ISPA president Lynne McNees. “His unparalleled knowledge on how to strengthen employees makes him the perfect keynote as we look to fill jobs within the growing spa industry.”

This best-selling book includes an assessment and report on your most dominant strengths and acts as an guide for building on your assets and helping your team and organisation.
