From the Lake Nona Impact Forum to the Stars (Again!) We’re thrilled to cheer on Astronaut Peggy Whitson, a trailblazer in space exploration and a 2024 #LNIF speaker, as she prepares for her next historic journey — Axiom Mission 4 from Kennedy Space Center. Dr. Whitson, already the record holder for the most cumulative days in space by any American astronaut, continues to break barriers and inspire generations. Her leadership and commitment to advancing human spaceflight reflect the very spirit of innovation we champion at Lake Nona. Join us in celebrating her incredible contributions and her upcoming mission with Axiom Space. Let’s launch into the future together. 🚀 #LakeNonaImpactForum #PeggyWhitson #AxiomMission4 #WomenInSTEM #SpaceExploration #LeadershipInAction (fb)

As Mental Health Month concludes, we reflect on the voices of courage & leadership driving change from boardrooms to classrooms. At the 2025 Lake Nona Impact Forum, the session “Hope Ahead: A Vision for Positive Mental Health Transformation” featured a powerhouse panel: 🔹 Patrick J. Kennedy and Amy Kennedy, Co-Founders of The Kennedy Forum 🔹 Paul Knopp, Chair & CEO of KPMG U.S. ​ Together, they explored how mental health intersects with corporate leadership, education and public policy and what it takes to break down the barriers standing in the way of meaningful care. From promoting mental well-being in the workplace to rethinking how we support youth mental health in schools, the session was a call to action: to lead with empathy, advocate with clarity and legislate with purpose. The momentum built by Mental Health Awareness Month doesn’t end in May. It fuels a year-round movement for a more mentally healthy world. #LakeNonaImpactForum #LNIF25 #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #TheKennedyForum #WorkplaceWellness #YouthMentalHealth #HealthEquity #LeadershipMatters (fb)
