Wellness is the fastest-growing industry today. But, our health and well-being are going in reverse. That is, we are less healthy and less well, despite all the hype. The question is WHY and WHAT can we do about it?

Laura offers unexpected solutions to leverage every workplace, activate key influencers, and empower every individual.

 

LAURA'S TALKING POINTS

 

“Wellness is much more than just those physical risk factors, it’s really about helping people to become their best selves, and even helping the world to become a better place.”

LAURA PUTNAM

 

Born to Move, Told to Sit

Born to Move, Told to Sit
Re-engineering movement back into our lives.

It’s less about exercise and more about moving throughout the day (aka, Motion Infusion). To do so, we need to acknowledge the fact that we are “born to move, but told to sit.” That is, everything in our society drives us to our chairs. We need to find meaningful ways to move throughout the day, such as taking a five-minute walk every half hour.

Key Points:

  • Learn the science on the unexpected benefits of movement.
  • Examine how our culture “conspires” against us being healthy.
  • Get out of your seat and in motion through actionable steps.

Target Audience: General

Workplace Wellness that Works
Infusing well-being into any organization.

A healthier, happier workforce is good for people and good for the bottom line. But, are your workplace wellness programs actually working? Probably not. Most don’t. Learn how you can apply a smarter framework that infuses well-being into the workflow, tackles the taboo topic of mental health at work, and makes well-being a way of life.

Key Points:

  • Empower employees to make better choices.
  • Design and deliver the strategy that your organization needs.
  • Drive quantifiable change through more creative implementation.

Target Audience: General

Managers on the Move

Managers on the Move
Activating managers as multipliers of well-being.

While senior leaders set the tone, managers are the key drivers of well-being at work. In fact, the best way to promote well-being at work is team by team, led by managers. Every manager needs to be awakened to the critical role they play and be given the tools they need to lead their team forward.

Key Points:

  • Learn about why team care matters more than self-care.
  • Acquire an actionable template for every manager to become a multiplier of well-being.
  • Carve out oases of well-being across the organization.

Target Audience: Senior leaders, managers, HR/wellness/benefits

Me At My Best®

Key Points:

  • Visualize your version of Me at My Best®.
  • Close the “knowing and doing” gap to take action. 
  • Leverage the science to achieve optimal well-being.
