Why social health is your missing pillar: connection, community & high-performing teams

Kasley Killam is a Harvard-trained social scientist who says we’ve been looking after our bodies and minds – but one crucial dimension of well-being has been overlooked: our social health.

With more than a decade of research and practice behind her, Kasley has helped individuals, teams, and organizations understand why relationships, belonging, and community are not just “nice to have,” but essential for thriving, longevity, and peak performance. Her pioneering work in this emerging field has been featured by The New York Times, CNBC, NPR, and Forbes, and she advises leading organizations from Google to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

As the founder of Social Health Labs, Kasley translates academic research into real-world strategies for strengthening connection and culture at scale. In her keynotes, she reveals how to build “social fitness” – the skills and habits that drive engagement, resilience, and innovation – especially in today’s hybrid and high-stress workplaces.

Kasley’s debut book, The Art and Science of Connection, distills cutting-edge science into practical guidance for living longer, happier, and healthier lives through human connection. Event planners love her relatable, story-driven delivery and immediately actionable takeaways. Attendees walk away inspired, energized, and equipped with simple yet powerful tools to strengthen relationships – both personally and professionally.

Why Social Health Is Key to Happiness and Longevity | Kasley Killam (TED Talk)

The Art and Science of Connection | Talks at Google

Keynote Topics

Most wellness programs focus on physical health (your body) or mental health (your mind). Kasley reveals the critical missing element: social health – the strength of your relationships, your sense of belonging, and your community. Drawing from research and real-world examples, she offers a practical framework for strengthening social muscle, transforming culture, and unlocking team resilience.

In today’s hybrid and fast-changing workplace, connection has become both harder and more essential. Kasley helps organizations translate the science of human bonds into actionable strategies – how to design socially healthy teams, integrate belonging into culture, and use relationships as a catalyst for retention and performance.

Building on her groundbreaking book, Kasley spotlights new research linking connection to longer life, stronger immunity, better cognitive function, and greater happiness. She guides audiences to shift from isolated metrics (step-counts, therapy apps) to relational metrics – and shows how businesses and communities can lead the way.

"I had the pleasure of working with Kasley not once but twice! After partnering with her on the first event, we knew we had to bring her back - she quickly became an audience favourite. We have the record-breaking RSVPs and glowing feedback to prove it. Kasley is extremely knowledgeable, authentic, and engaging - she immediately connects with audiences."

- Jeanine Mioton, Events & Partnerships Lead, Meetup

"Kasley is a recurring speaker at Google's internal Mental Health Awareness Conference and is always a highlight. Her emphasis on social support and community connection is thought-provoking and actionable. Energetic, empathetic, and deeply authentic - Kasley lights up the room while inspiring change."

- Ruslan Osipov, Lead Organizer, Google Mental Health Conference

"We had the privilege of hosting Kasley Killam for an enlightening keynote on social health that was both inspiring and practical. She emphasized the critical role connection plays in success at work, offering tangible tools for cultivating relationships and resilience - a powerful session for a high-pressure corporate environment."

- Global Law Firm

"Kasley's insightful talk on the loneliness epidemic came at a crucial time. As clinicians, we tend to focus on the visible, physical aspects of care - Kasley reminded us that connection is equally vital. She provided practical, compassionate tools to help us support our patients and communities - inspiring and essential."

- Luba Sobolevsky, Executive Director, Immunoglobulin National Society

Drawing on her Harvard Master of Public Health and her work as a 2x TED speaker, Kasley delivers a research-backed framework that workplaces, healthcare systems, and individuals can use. She received the prestigious Eudaimonia Award from UCLA in 2024 for this work.
