J&J Human Performance Institute Opens New Global HQ in Lake Nona

The Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, which has been part of Orlando for almost 30 years, has doubled its teaching capacity with a new state-of-the-art global headquarters in Lake Nona Medical City. The LEED-certified facility blends design thinking with the science of human performance in a holistic, multi-sensory approach. In an immersive course, participants learn how to perform in the face of unrelenting stress while also maintaining their health, wellbeing and sense of purpose.

“Johnson & Johnson’s investment in enhancing its Human Performance Institute experience in Lake Nona is a direct reflection of our company’s purpose to profoundly change the trajectory of health for humanity,” said Lowinn Kibbey, global head of the institute. “Enabling wellbeing is central to achieving this. The short, but intensive experiences we offer at Human Performance Institute have been clinically proven to elevate wellbeing by inspiring purposeful living and fostering sustained improvements in participants’ energy levels.”

Since co-founders Dr. Jim Loehr and Dr. Jack Groppel opened the doors to the first facility in the 1990s, thousands have experienced science-based training solutions offered by world-class behavioral, exercise and nutrition experts.

“Based on decades of research, results and insights, and true to Human Performance Institute’s purpose, the redesigned experience reflects the particular combination of ‘grace’ and ‘guts’ we recognize is needed to unleash human potential and achieve peak performance,” said Ernesto Quinteros, chief strategic design officer at Johnson & Johnson. “Throughout the new global headquarters, we have employed a holistic, multi-sensory design approach that sets intention, hones focus and creates meaningful experiences that promote behavior change, which our participants can call upon even after they leave the facility.”
