"Laura Putnam gave a superb opening address at Workforce Strategy 2017. Our audience of Fortune 500 companies found her compelling, engaging and inspiring. A dynamic and professional on-stage presence, Laura communicates by showing more than telling; her use of images, powerful data points, examples and stories enhances impact, as evidenced by numerous references to her content throughout the rest of the conference."

Topics


Workplace Wellness That Works

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.
Laura speaks about how we are "creatures of culture" at Stanford University.
Multipliers of Well-Being

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.
Managers on the Move takes center stage at HERO Forum in Atlanta, GA.
Born to Move, Told to Sit

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!”
Laura delivers keynotes for events and conferences across the nation & around the world.
Me At My Best

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. ​
Laura keynotes at an annual event hosted by Blue Cross Blue Shield Rhode Island.
