Meet Kayla Baum
CEO & Founder of Twello
Kayla has spoken to leadership and management teams across North America about weaving employee well-being into company culture.
Known for her “perfect mix of expertise, coaching, and comedy,” she equips leaders to recognize and address the burnout epidemic facing today’s always-on workforce.
In Kayla's Words...
In 2013, I hit rock bottom.
After years of pushing through Sunday-night anxiety, relentless deadlines, and sleepless nights, I ended up in a hospital psych ward following a complete nervous breakdown.
That breakdown became my business school.
During recovery, I discovered mindfulness and nervous system regulation… not as luxury “self-care,” but as survival tools.
I spent more than 1,000 hours training through the University of Toronto, Google’s SIY Leadership Institute, and Mindfulness Without Borders.
The practices that saved me weren’t expensive retreats or apple cider vinegar. They were accessible, evidence-based strategies: stress physiology, breathwork, and practical ways to reset a burned-out brain.
I knew these tools had to make their way into the workplace, the very environment where most stress begins. So I founded Twello, now one of North America’s leading providers of corporate wellness and mindfulness training. Today, our programs reach OpenAI, Netflix, Norton Rose Fulbright, and 100+ other stressed-out, burned-out organizations.
Here’s what I learned at rock bottom that shapes every keynote I deliver on workplace mental health:
Most wellness programs are outdated. They were built for a pre-Slack, pre-remote-work world. Before the burnout and loneliness epidemics took hold.
HR teams want to help, but legacy wellness misses the mark. Step challenges and pizza parties aren’t solving chronic stress.
Employees crave real tools. Programs need to feel like something people would choose in their own time, delivered with the convenience of the workplace.
As a workplace mental health keynote speaker, I bring stories, science, and strategies together:
→ Programs designed for hybrid, remote, and in-person teams
→ Evidence-based content proven to reduce stress and increase productivity
→ Approaches that resonate with today’s overwhelmed, always-on workforce
If you’re truly looking to build a healthier workplace (not just add it to your mission statement), I’d love to be a part of it. 🌱
