Laura Putnam, MA, is the CEO and Founder of Motion Infusion, a provider of well-being services, and the author of the award-winning book "Workplace Wellness That Works."

Her work emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments that enhance well-being, drawing on her teaching role at Stanford University and her background as an international community organizer. Putnam's approach is featured in major media outlets such as The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, and MSNBC. She is also the recipient of the American Heart Association’s “2020 Impact” award and the National Wellness Institute’s “Circle of Leadership” award.

Laura Putnam Speaking Topics
Start a Movement
A healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line and essential for building a winning team. Yet, while most employees have access to wellness, do these programs actually work? Evidence suggests that most do not. Over 80% of eligible employees opt out and rates of stress and poor health continue to soar. It doesn’t have to be this way. Learn about the steps every employer can take to truly make a difference. Come away inspired to start a movement of well-being in your organization.
What the best team leaders do differently
Most leaders continue to view wellness as being outside of their scope, disconnected from the bottom line, and something to be addressed by HR. But, the research repeatedly suggests that the extent to which employees are well largely comes down to leaders - especially managers. This talk outlines the critical role that every team leader plays in embedding wellness into the fabric of business as usual, and the specific steps that each can take to become a Multiplier of Well-Being.
How to future-proof our world by getting in motion
As human beings, we are designed to move. Motion is good for our bodies & good for our brains. The problem is, our society literally mandates us to sit. Learn about the “biological-cultural mismatch” we've collectively created (born to move, told to sit), why getting active is more than just getting a workout and how you can infuse movement into your daily work routine, even when there’s “no time.” After hearing this inspiring talk, you’ll rethink the next time you ask someone to “Have a seat!”
How to drive personal performance through well-being
What are the keys to not just surviving — but fully thriving? How can we each become “Me At My Best” – whatever that looks like for each of us? Through a combination of stories and science, learn about the secrets needed to thrive. You'll get up to speed on the multiple dimensions needed to be your best self: physical, emotional, social, financial, career and community. Come away refreshed and armed with specific takeaways to catapult yourself into a revitalized way of living.
