KEYNOTE TOPICS

Motion Infusion is continuing to reinvent itself to meet your needs. All topics are offered both in person and virtually, and we have special topics related to the time we are in.
Workplace Wellness that Works
Infusing well-being and vitality into any organization.

A healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line and essential for building a winning team. But, are workplace wellness programs actually working? Evidence suggests most don’t. Learn how you can reshape your organization’s approach to Start a Movement! This session outlines the steps you can take to transform the health and well-being of your employees so that your wellness efforts actually work.
Managers on the Move
​What the best team leaders do differently.

While wellness may not be part of the job description, every manager is uniquely positioned to make or break their team members’ well-being. This session demonstrates the critical role that managers play in embedding wellness into the fabric of business as usual, the specific steps that each can take to become a Multiplier of Well-Being and how each can create an oasis of well-being for their team.
​Me At My Best®
How to thrive in good times and bad.
 
What are the keys to not just surviving – but fully thriving? How can you become your version of “Me At My Best” – even as we navigate challenging times? Through a combination of stories and science, learn about the secrets to overcome stress and burnout. Glean insights on the well-being dimensions needed to be your best self: physical, emotional, social, financial, career and community. Come away refreshed, restored and armed with specific takeaways to catapult yourself into a revitalized way of living. ​
Born to Move, Told to Sit
Closing the knowing and doing gap.

From classrooms where kids sit for hours at a time to workplaces that keep people in front of computers to groceries that are delivered to our homes, our world is built around sitting – a lot. And, while catchy slogans like “sitting is the new smoking” are commonplace and yoga pants are everywhere, Americans are sitting as much as 10 hours a day. We know we should move, but most of us don’t. Why? We're "told" to sit. This session unpacks the massive knowing and doing gap, revealing a culture that conspires against us, and provides a path forward.
Wellness Privilege
What is it and what can we do about it?
 
While the dime-a-dozen self-help book would have you believe that healthier habits are well within reach for anyone, the truth is that it is for some - and not others. Accessing nature and healthy options, pursuing one's passion or getting equal airtime at work are just a few of the ways that Wellness Privilege manifests. Just as privilege plays a role in accessing the American Dream, it also plays a part in optimizing health and well-being. This session awakens attendees to the link between workplace well-being and DEI, awakening attendees to Wellness Privilege and what every organization, team and individual can do to make a difference.
Mental Health at Work
Who's Responsible?
​

Rates of depression have tripled; levels of loneliness have skyrocketed; and the number of people who are feeling distressed has dramatically increased. If you are feeling burned out and mentally drained, you are definitely not alone. We have a mental health crisis and nowhere is this more apparent than in the workplace with 89% of employees reporting that their work life has gotten worse and with a 10-point increase in the number of workers experiencing mental health issues. Why is this happening and what can we do about it? Moreover, who’s responsible? This provocative session takes an honest look at the taboo topic of mental health in the workplace, uncovering root causes and questioning traditional approaches. In particular, this session asks the question as to whether we need to move away from individual solutions to more systemic ones that address the culture itself. Be ready to be challenged and also hopeful that we can make a difference.
