Hi, I am bARBARA badolati

Wellness Expert

Best-Selling Author

TEDx Talk

My goal as a keynote speaker is to improve mental wellness, physical health, and emotional resiliency for your organization and audience through ready-to-use tools and techniques.

Here is a short introduction of how I got started.

  • In the early 80’s I realized that companies could improve rising healthcare costs by investing in their greatest asset - their employees.

    The benefits include:

    • improved morale
    • higher retention
    • real productivity
    • an exciting team culture.

  • My company, Alive & Well, developed and implemented worksite wellness programs tailored to the unique needs, goals, budget and objectives within the private and public sectors throughout North America.

    We produced strategic plans, activated champions, established operational plans and budgets, designed and coordinated programs and initiatives, incorporated tailored incentives and rewards, spearheaded innovative engagement, conducted educational sessions, bio-screenings and evaluations, and provided recommendations.

  • Because of dedicated leaders and my team, we tracked improvements for all objectives including maintaining or reducing insurance costs, workplace injuries and EPA.

    Statistics ranged from:
    • 25% increase in profits
    • 14% new hire attraction
    • 38% increased production
    • 62% employee satisfaction
