When your goal is stable blood glucose, traditional desserts present a challenge.
First, sweets are high in simple sugars. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about processed white sugar or a “natural” sugar like maple syrup or coconut sugar. In any case, the body easily breaks these sugars down into glucose, triggering blood sugar spikes.
In the long run, excessive sugar consumption may lead to a slew of health concerns, including insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, and even mental health and mood conditions.

Read moreHave you ever wondered what your preferred sleeping position means for your health — or whether it has any connection to your personality traits?
Research into the topic of a person’s favorite sleep position and how it relates to their personality is scant and has not been peer-reviewed or replicated. However, it can be fun to contemplate the possible meaning of your favorite sleep position and whether it reflects your emotional state.
When we walk up to introduce ourselves to strangers, we follow basic cultural norms of politeness. Don’t launch into a monologue about yourself. Don’t look over their shoulder to see if someone more important is nearby. Don’t invade their personal space, or you’ll be branded as a close talker.

It has been shown to increase inflammation and impair focus, fat loss, insulin signaling, testosterone production, and cardiovascular health. More recently, it has also been associated with higher probability of inadequate hydration.

Read moreA few days ago, I had a very interesting discussion about wellbeing and more precisely – about corporate wellbeing, with a global executive from one of the well-known corporate giants.

Read moreFor many of us, September marks the start of the school year. Whether you’re getting your children ready for school or just reminiscing about your own experience when school started, it’s important to be aware of the importance that education has.
And like with everything else, education must be in tune with the times, if we want to be prepared for the future. That is why we are glad to share the fact that AVE Romania, an NGO in which we have been intensely involved, will launch a project in collaboration with the Goldie Hawn Foundation aimed at introducing socio-emotional learning (or SEL for short) in Romanian schools.
You can find out more about this project in the podcast we have included in our newsletter. And if you like what you hear, you can also get involved and help shape the future of Romanian education.
In this month’s newsletter we talk about vision and leadership. Having an inspiring image of the future can have a huge impact on a company and its employees. Not only when it comes to positive perception and goodwill, but also in terms of financial success.
And the leader plays a key role in articulating it and inspiring employees to live it every day. Find out how in our article.
Even though it is not new, Vision became an essential attribute for most successful organisations and individuals, being strongly linked with both positive perception and goodwill, as well as measurable financial success.

Read moreThis month’s newsletter doesn’t have the usual selection of articles written or curated by our team. For July we wanted to do something different. So we have put together a selection of books, movies, tv shows and documentaries to inspire you.
Whether you are searching for something interesting to read on your vacation or just looking for a thought provoking piece to watch at the weekend, we are sure that you will find something to your liking on our list.
In this month’s article we tackle courage and why it is important for leaders. The pressure for immediate results can sometimes be overwhelming and consequently leaders may find themselves questioning their values and beliefs.
That is where coaching, mentoring or executive education programs can come in and give leaders tools and strategies they can use to follow their deeply held personal principles and to hold on to these in the face of difficulties.
This is just one of the reasons why we have developed our two executive education programs, Managing Anxiety and Stress in Leadership Roles and The Leader’s Journey. To support those in leadership roles to handle the stress and pressure of today’s business environment. Find out more about them below.
Leaders need courage to understand themselves, what their personal values are and how they fit with those of their team members and their organisation. It takes courage to determine and accept one’s weaknesses. Self-awareness and deeply held beliefs are essential elements of courage, the very essence of leadership.

At K.M.Trust Group we strive for excellence in the People related area. In our desire to support our clients with the best possible solutions we have entered into strategic alliances with some of the best companies and institutions in the world for the other 4.
In the Customer related area, we have partnered with Winsedswiss Education Group to create the Performance and Customer Experience program, one of the most complex and innovative solutions to help companies enhance their customers’ experience.
We have talked and written a great deal about the importance of character in leadership and how the lack of it has led to huge business mistakes for both leaders and the businesses they manage.
In this newsletter we tackle other key ingredients of leadership: self awareness, calm, clarity and social awareness. They allow us to recognize, understand and regulate our own and others’ emotions and behaviors to enhance interactions and results.
We also want to remind you about our two executive education programs planned for this year, Managing Anxiety and Stress in Leadership Roles and The Leader’s Journey. You still have time until the 15th of April to register and take advantage of our early bird offer.
If any of these two programs are cancelled or postponed due to the Covid-19 situation, you will receive a full refund.
We start this month’s newsletter by announcing that the registration pages for our executive education programs for 2021 have been launched. Managing Anxiety & Stress in Leadership Roles and The Leader’s Longevity have been developed to help leaders learn about science backed strategies that they can use to enhance their personal and professional wellbeing and mental health.
K.M.Trust & Partners will bring together business executives and faculty from top business schools to share their insights on how you can improve your leadership and quality of life.
Furthermore, if you register by the 15th of April you can also take advantage of our early bird offer.
The beginning of the year brings good news from K.M.Trust & Partners. Our two executive events, which we’ve had to postpone in 2020, have been scheduled to take place later this year.
Managing Anxiety & Stress in Leadership Roles (date to follow) and The Leader’s Longevity will be co-delivered with renowned business executives and faculty from top business schools and focus on giving you science backed strategies to improve mental health & fitness, your physical health, reduce stress levels and more.
We will soon be launching our landing pages for both these programs but you can already preregister for them via email.
This month we are also tackling the character of a leader. In our first article of 2021 we look at the impact that a lack of character has on companies and what we can do to solve it.
We are delighted to share some exciting news with you about our recently launched business line – HRS.

How is your sleep? Are you getting enough? If yes, how is your sleep quality? A quick test here.
This month we decided to have a closer look at this important aspect of our health and of our - believe it or not – leadership quality.
Both quality and quantity of sleep have a great deal of impact on your behavior. It helps us learn better, makes us less prone to diseases and allows us to remember more of what we are reading or studying. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Check out Matt Walker's video in this month's newsletter for a better understanding of the importance of sleep. And if you want to get the full picture on the impact sleep has on your health and how you can improve your sleep hygiene, you can read his book entitled “Why we sleep”.
This month we want to talk about success and about the way we measure it and reward it in our society today.
In our opinion the current metrics we use (and that have been good in a less globalized society), without new metrics derived from the times we live in, fail to take into account the impact a business has on the environment, on the health and wellbeing of its employees and on society as a whole.
We therefore summarized our opinion on some of the new metrics we believe should be taken into account for an updated way of measuring performance and success. We hope you will enjoy our article.
Whether on LinkedIn, a blog or in a conversation with a friend, chances are that you’ve probably heard the term “mindfulness” being discussed at some point. And for good reason. Mindfulness meditation has grown increasingly popular in these last years and along with it so has the influx of information, courses and services on the topic.
Mindfulness can have tremendous benefits if it's understood and used correctly. That is why in this month’s newsletter we decided to tackle this topic and give you a short introduction into mindfulness and meditation. This is especially helpful for those thinking of starting down this path or those who have recently begun to practice.
As a company or as a leader, how much time do you dedicate for supporting your employees to grow and develop? In these uncertain times, it can be easy for you to lose focus, as the number of things you need to deal with on a daily basis increases exponentially.
So, in our article this month we want highlight why it’s so important to make sure you keep putting in time and energy towards helping your employees develop.
They are and will continue to be your best asset in order to successfully make it through tough economic periods and maintain your competitive advantage when times are good.
This month’s newsletter is an invitation to a different kind of involvement. An involvement where results are not seen immediately but when they appear, they are fundamental for our society. It is about involvement in Education.
As you know, one of the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic is that schools in Romania have had to move all of their classes and activities online. What is less known is the impact this has had on children from low socio-economic backgrounds who lack the resources to be able to take part and have thus been left out of the educational process.
Education matters and children who are unable to continue their studies will face greater hardship in the future. But we can do something about it. Read more about this project below and get involved.
These are challenging times we are going through. Now more than ever we need responsibility, calm & clarity, collaboration and leaders who are able to manage not only their own resilience but also their teams’.
This is why we want to share some resources that will help you better navigate this period. On the 30th of March we will be organizing a webinar with thought leaders in the field of neuroscience and mindfulness in order to present insights and tools that will allow you to lead with calm and clarity.
We also invite you to check out our March article highlighting some of the steps you can take to address fears and transform limitations into opportunities during these times.

In keeping with our two executive events, we invite you to read our article on mindfulness and its benefits for those who use it.
Starting with the publication of Daniel Goleman’s book on this subject in 1995, Emotional Intelligence has become one of the trendy concepts in the business world. When the Harvard Business Review published an article on this topic in 1998, it became one of the most popular articles read and reprinted by the publication in the last 40 years.
Read moreS. Sherman considers that there are three main forces that forge an organisation’s behaviour: rules, mores, and personal integrity.

Read moreMindfulness is a word which has been uttered increasingly often, in a lot of diverse and unexpected places. Not too long ago it was something that was whispered and reluctantly received by westerners, due to its association with the practice of meditation.
Read moreThe author of Hero With a Thousand Faces, The Masks of God series, and The Power of Myth here turns his powers of observation and analysis on his own life's journey and conveys the excitement of his life-long exploration of mythic traditions, which he called "the one great story of mankind." In conversations with poets, anthropologists, and philosophers, Campbell reflects on subjects ranging from the origins and functions of myth, the role of the artist and the need for ritual, to the ordeals of love and romance. Illustrated throughout with photographs from Joseph Campbell's family archive and with a new, revised introduction, The Hero's Journey introduces the reader first-hand to Joseph Campbell the man, his discoveries, his terminology, and his thinking.
Read moreLeaders know that their job is to transform their organizations to keep pace with technology and an ever-changing business environment. They also know that they are bound to fail in doing so. But this discouraging prospect is not because they won't be able to solve a technological or strategic problem. Leaders will fail because of intractable human responses associated with change--responses such as fear, ingrained habits, politics, incrementalism, and lack of imagination. These stumbling blocks always arise when we humans are faced with change, but what if we had a way to transcend them?
An inclusive, networking-oriented culture is key to an organization's success. Effective leaders must understand the demands of a diverse workforce, and appreciate the effect this has on wider organizational dynamics, such as strategy, productivity, market penetration, customer service, recruitment costs, and turnover.
Read moreCorporate liberation is not a strategy. It is a business philosophy that leaders around the world are using to radically transform their organizations. Liberating leaders believe that a workplace based on respect and freedom is a more natural environment than one based on mistrust and control. So they acted to align their organizations with these beliefs: They liberated people's initiative and potential and with it, unshackled their companies’ performance.
Read moreDespite the wonders of modern medicine, the state of human health throughout the world is eroding at an alarming rate. The long-term accumulation of toxins and acid waste in our bodies--both from the chemically contaminated air we breathe and water we drink as well as the toxins we ingest in the form of low quality food, preservatives, and additives--damages our organs, corrodes our joints and arteries, enervates our nervous system, and inhibits our immune system. Chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, insomnia, and even acne, are all caused by the long-term accumulation of toxins in our bodies.

As you will discover in our main article this month, we are highlighting certain changes we’ve seen...
We’re starting to pay closer attention to ourselves. We look for way more than just a paycheck and take steps to improve our mental well-being too. Moreover, some companies and CEOs are becoming aware of the tremendous impact they have on society and are discovering that there are better ways to run an organization.
The challenge companies have when it comes to attracting and retaining the best talents has been the subject of several articles written by our consultants. No matter the industry, job type or position within the organization. For a long time the go to solution was a financial one, in the form of higher salaries and bonuses. But as we argue in this month’s article, the strategy no longer works.
If companies want to not only survive but thrive in a VUCA environment they have to rethink and change the way they function. From employee incentives and the way they are organized to adopting a more agile approach to planning and focusing on sustainability. Check out our article.
This September, Bucharest was host to the George Enescu Festival, the biggest classical music festival and classical international competition held in Romania. And one of the biggest in Eastern Europe. An opportunity for all of us to experience classical music played by some of the most well-known and respected orchestras in the world.
But listening to and seeing some of the best conductors and musicians of our time can also teach us a lot about what leadership truly involves. In our article this month we look at how these professionals are trying to improve the world around them by sharing their expertise, their time and their energy. The true mark of any leader.

This month we invite you to take a 5 minute self-assessment created by Adam Grant, Wharton’s “top rated professor for 7 straight years”, which we believe to be the starting point for many of you to receive some answers about who you are.
This month we’ve put together a great article on self-awareness for your summer reading. It is filled with resources you can read about and use to either start or improve this particular area. From feedback, introspection and meditation to body scanning and journaling. There are a myriad of ways in which you can start this process.

For 3 days, 45 executives from 17 industries, 6 countries and of 11 nationalities discovered leadership through different lenses: neuroscience-based strategies for self-regulation and managing the brain’s reaction to change, uncertainty and fear.
45 executives have already registered for our Executive Education Program on Managing Anxiety & Stress in Leadership Roles which will start on June 6. Representatives from companies like Sandoz, Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne, Monnoyeur SAS, Deloitte, Ernst&Young, Carrefour, EwoPharma, Archibus Solutions Center and Deutsche Bank Global Technology Center will take part alongside thought leaders from Harvard Medical School and Google.
In this newsletter you can read a short interview with two of the speakers in our program, Dr. Srini Pillay and Adam Leonard.
In this month’s newsletter we invite you to check out the webinar hosted by Professor Marshall Van Alstyne, coauthor of Platform Revolution. It is focused on the crucial role of the emerging Internet of Things as a component of platform strategy.
We also recommend that you check out the article on the four factors that might influence whether or not people in organizations distort or withhold the truth from one another.
In this month’s newsletter we look at the oldest sibling of company events – the team building. Used by many companies. Attended, at one point or another, by almost each and every one of us.
But in our article, we look at it from a different angle. More precisely why in many cases they are a waste of time and money. Not because they aren’t good, but because most fail to take human nature into account.
Are you thinking about making your next career move but don’t really know where to begin? In this month’s newsletter we want to share some of our best practices to help you start of on the right foot. We spend a large part of our time at work and it is therefore important to make sure that each career move is thought out and prepared.

Because almost everyone around us is experiencing an increased level of stress, no matter their role, the size of the company they work for or the industry they are active in. That's why mental fitness should be an important topic for each and every professional. And in our article on this subject we share our experiences and resources to help you work towards having a better and healthier lifestyle.
We also want to draw your attention to Edu Leaders Forum, an event dedicated to education and business leaders who want to improve the way education is done in Romania. You can find out more about it below. This is your opportunity to create a real and lasting change in our educational system.
In the battle to retain and develop the best people, coaching is becoming one of the key building blocks of any Customized Individual Development plan.

We’ve put together a summary of the key takeaways from our first executive education program on business strategies & sustainable leadership held in May. And we also encourage you to set aside some time and read the article on the necessity and importance of making AI more ethical – a factor which is becoming crucial as algorithms start to play an ever-bigger role in our lives.
HR is and has always been an integral part of any organization. But just like any other key area of a company it too must now radically reconsider its function and role in order to make sure that it stays relevant in these changing times.
In this month’s article we look at how the HR role can adapt to a business environment where stakeholders are more connected, customers more empowered and audiences are no longer passive.

Read moreMany of us feel we are at a point in our lives when the presence of meaning at work has become essential. Not that it didn’t matter earlier, but as we have “grown up” a bit more, especially since many of us have achieved a decent level of financial well-being, we’ve come to realize happiness and non-financial well-being haven’t always come in the same “package”.

This is the question that David Eagleman—renowned neuroscientist and acclaimed author of Sum—answers in a book as accessible and entertaining as it is deeply informed by startling, up-to-the-minute research.
Do religious experiences come from God, or are they merely the random firing of neurons in the brain?

Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.

Read moreThere are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says. "Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000."

In an unforgettable talk, he details "NeuroEmbodied Design," a methodology for creating cyborg function that he's developing at MIT, and shows us a future where we've augmented our bodies in a way that will redefine human potential -- and, maybe, turn us into superheroes. "During the twilight years of this century, I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today," Herr says. "Humanity will take flight and soar."

If chaos theory transformed our view of the universe, biomimicry is transforming our life on Earth. Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature – taking advantage of evolution’s 3.8 billion years of R&D since the first bacteria.

They are revolutionising how we invent, compute, heal ourselves, harness energy, repair the environment, and feed the world.

These cutting-edge businesses are built on platforms: two-sided markets that are revolutionizing the way we do business.

Over the past decade, Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They're harnessing rare and controversial states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition.
Read moreAn exploration of how extreme athletes break the limits of ultimate human performance and what we can learn from their mastery of the state of consciousness known as “flow” In this groundbreaking book, New York Times–bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance.

Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It’s easy to say that humans are “wired” for story, but why?
Read moreIn this candid and riveting memoir, for the first time ever, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight shares the inside story of the company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.
In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his lime green Plymouth Valiant, Knight grossed $8,000 his first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of startups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all startups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable symbols in the world today.

In this month’s article we go one step further and tackle customized individual development. Despite more and more challenges faced by companies to attract and retain talent, the idea of a custom personal development approach is far from being the norm. In our article we share some of our insights on the topic.
In the first part of our article we talked about how you can generate a development program that is tailored to the strengths and areas for leadership growth with the help of a thorough assessment of an individual. Let’s now look at how to develop this plan further.

As technology impacts every facet of our personal and professional lives, including the way we recruit or build our careers, as you will see in our newsletter, the burden of preparing today’s generation for that future falls mainly on the education system. We strongly believe that as entrepreneurs and business people we have an imperative responsibility to act. If you want to play a role in improving the way education is done in Romania check out our article on AVE (Asociatia pentru Valori in Educatie) and see how you can get involved.

Clearly it takes more than a compliance policy or Values Statement to sustain a truly ethical workplace.

Read moreJill Taylor was a 37-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist when a blood vessel exploded in her brain. Through the eyes of a curious scientist, she watched her mind deteriorate whereby she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Because of her understanding of the brain, her respect for the cells in her body, and an amazing mother, Jill completely recovered. In My Stroke of Insight, she shares her recommendations for recovery and the insight she gained into the unique functions of the two halves of her brain. When she lost the skills of her left brain, her consciousness shifted away from normal reality where she felt "at one with the universe." Taylor helps others not only rebuild their brains from trauma, but helps those of us with normal brains better understand how we can consciously influence the neural circuitry underlying what we think, how we feel and how we react to life's circumstances.

But what about the quieter, less noticeable fears that inform everyday choices and disrupt relationships? Fearing intimacy, change, or failure may sound cliché, but for most people, deeply embedded anxieties such as these can act as subconscious saboteurs.
Read moreEstablished, powerful companies are disappearing at an alarming rate - some estimates put this rate at 30% in 5 year's time (according to Simon Kaluza - SAP MD for CEE).

Read moreWhen one needs a partner who understands the impact of technology on the future of any organisation - also affecting the leadership style and transformational processes - one will find a solid one in KMTrust.
The level of knowledge of new trends, the competences, the strive for bringing to the customers the latest information applicable to any market - those were the decision points in attending the Leadership Development Program with Radu.
The things I personally appreciate about the KMTrust team are the exposure, the experience and the competences. They are able to cut through all the information available and put together an informed program, providing very practical tools - almost like recipes, customised for each customer.
This Leadership Development Program was not a training session, nor a presentation. It was a practical, visionary and insightful discussion with our company's leadership team. The business simulation case is probably one of the best training tools for organisational transformations and real life decisions that lead to real life reactions.
It can be practiced, thus having your leadership skills periodically exercised.
I would recommend the Program to any organisation wanting to align and commit its leadership team to a visionary mission for the company.
