Laura Putnam Biography

Laura Putnam, MA, is a global wellbeing activator, author of the bestselling book "Workplace Wellness that Works," and CEO and Founder of Motion Infusion, a leading wellbeing provider.

She is a highly sought-after keynote speaker and has worked with a wide range of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofits. Putnam has trained over 40,000 managers and leaders on how to lead wellbeing from the inside-out and outside-in to truly champion wellbeing that works for all.

Putnam reveals that while we’ve largely blamed our pervasive poor health and wellbeing on individual failures, growing evidence suggests that the gap persists due to the larger culture and environment. Like fish in the ocean surrounded by water, we are surrounded by environments that either support our wellbeing or do not. Her collective approach outlines how to create environments where everyone can flourish. ​ Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, USA Today, FOX, ABC, 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. Putnam is a graduate of Brown University and Stanford University, and she lives in San Francisco with her fiancé.

Laura Putnam Speaking 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!”

  • 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.
