Our Story
You could say the Institute for Health and Human Potential (IHHP) started after the 1996 Olympics, when organizations became interested in our approach to performing under pressure after we helped Canada’s volleyball team to an upset bronze medal. It continued as we started to do more of our own proprietary research, surveying over 40,000 people a month to understand the latest research in human behavior, and thoroughly assessing leaders and organizations to create a powerful data set.
By this time, our Co-founder, Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry, was teaching leadership to executives at the Kellogg School of Management. His book, Performing Under Pressure, became a New York Times bestseller and is still available in over 65 countries. Along the way, we have been fortunate to be recognized as one of Profit Magazine’s fastest-100 growing companies.
But the core of what we do remains the same:
For over 25 years, IHHP has been been developing leaders through our Emotional Intelligence programs, and helping organizations across the globe achieve exceptional results by developing a culture of doing hard things.
Today our clients range from $100M entrepreneurial businesses to $10B+ public companies with over 300,000 employees. Past and current clients include: Goldman Sachs, Allstate, United Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson, Fidelity, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Harvard, US Navy, NASA, along with NFL and NBA teams.
We help them develop their leaders and transform their cultures, using our research based tools into high-performing organizations.

“The IHHP team always have insightful and programs and sessions. We were able to connect them directly to our own behaviors. We really liked the way they had us practice the strategies rather than just telling us about them so we could internalize the behavior. That way, we’ll actually remember it!”
