Do you prefer everyday activities over traditional exercise? Getting your heart rate up for just 3-4 minutes a day through regular activities can significantly lower your chances of early death, especially from heart-related conditions.
Researchers from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre have coined a new term for these brief bursts of energy during daily tasks: "vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity" (VILPA).
The message is clear: you don't need a gym membership or sports equipment to boost your longevity – just a few minutes of energetic daily movement can make a real difference!
In this “Ask Me Anything” episode, Peter Attia breaks down everything you need to know about bone health – from childhood to old age. He covers how bone mineral density is measured, how it changes over time, and why it varies between sexes due to estrogen levels.

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.
Dr. Peter Attia, a highly respected physician with a background in McKinsey, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford, delivers a powerful guide to living well in his book "Outlive." Forget outdated health advice – this is a comprehensive roadmap to maximizing both lifespan and health span.
Think of it as your personal toolkit for optimizing well-being. "Outlive" dives into critical areas like diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and emotional health, offering evidence-based strategies and actionable steps you can implement right away for a better personal and professional life.
Challenging the popular notion that we are "what we eat," the documentary "We Are What We Eat" offers a compelling perspective on our dietary habits and their profound impact on our physical well-being.
Led by Stanford Nutrition Science Professor Christopher Gardner and Microbiome scientists Rob and Justin Sonnenburg, this insightful film follows identical twins as they embark on an eight-week experiment, swapping their eating and lifestyle habits to explore the profound effects of particular foods on the body.
As a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, professional chef, and Certified Nutritional Specialist, Dr. Uma Naidoo is a triple threat in the exciting new field of nutritional psychiatry. Her main message: Most people overlook the power at the end of their forks to feel emotionally better.
In this course, you’ll explore the profound connection between what you eat and your mental well-being, learning practical and empowering strategies for a calmer mind. By the end, you’ll better understand which foods work for you (and which to ditch) and have a personalized Calmness Plan, complete with shopping lists, meal plans, and recipes.

“You should probably assume you have diabetes or pre-diabetes until proven otherwise,” says Lifeforce Physician Renae Thomas, MD, MPH. (Working with a clinician through the Lifeforce Membership will help you get answers.) “However, independent of whether you have diabetes or not, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is essential for good health.”
An emerging field that uses data to study human behavior at work, “people analytics” is beginning to transform the workplace and significantly impact hiring and productivity, says Jeffrey T.

Read moreThe research on the power of mentorship is pretty clear: People with mentors perform better, advance in their careers faster, and even experience more work-life satisfaction. And mentors benefit, too. After all, “to teach is to learn twice.” Despite all these benefits, and even though 76% of working professionals believe that a mentor is important to growth, more than 54% do not have such a relationship.
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.
Read moreUnsurprisingly, lack of sleep has been associated with a multitude of health issues. 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.

But also, to do everything he can to make tomorrow's adults more compassionate than those of today. Hence his contribution to supporting the development of an education system in which character development and mental training are an essential part.

Read moreIt depends on a lot of factors, but a good MBA or EMBA can be an advantage regardless of whether you pursue it during the pandemic or not. The most important element in this equation is the “student” himself. If he has the right profile an MBA stimulates his mind, abilities and knowledge.
Read moreThe effects of the pandemic, the “Great Resignation” global phenomenon at various levels of management and currently the regional challenges in the context of the Ukraine conflict – these are just some of the challenges of large companies active in Romania in the recent years.
These and other factors related to the internal pressures to permanently adapt the business have led to an increase of anxiety and overwhelm at the top levels of organizations, so that 7 out of 10 companies have resorted in the last year to stress and anxiety management programs, according to K.M.Trust & Partners data.
This proximity bias stems from the incorrect assumption that those who are at the office are more productive when compared to those working from home. A toxic perception on a number of levels.
It creates polarization. Those of us who come to the office versus you, who aren’t here. A polarization which, if not carefully managed, can be very bad, very toxic for organizations across the world. Any discrimination and polarization are bad when you don’t explain and communicate correctly.

Read moreIt is important that organizations start to pay more attention to how they treat topics such as mental health, well-being or psychological safety when it comes to employee experience. In this month’s article we tackle this subject in detail.
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.
This 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.
Many businesses focus their strategies on 5 key pillars: Financial Performance, People, Customer, Digital Transformation and Social Impact.
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. A staff on demand business model where some of the best HR professionals we have met will help our clients consolidate/strengthen/optimize any of their HR functions, when in need for the best possible solutions.
The Human Resources Services Business Unit (HRS BU) is a new division added to the existent business of the K.M.Trust Group (K.M.Trust & Partners and Key2Success), with the aim of providing premium quality HR solutions to companies looking for such support.
From employer branding, performance management systems and people analytics to succession planning, culture change initiatives, talent management, crisis management task force coordination, just to name a few.
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.
Registration for our 2 executive education events has started. Don't miss your chance to get access to cutting edge strategies for improving your physical and mental health, from experts at Harvard Medical School and Google. Find out more about these programs below.
Read moreWe’re starting January by announcing two executive education programs we will be organizing in 2020. This is a great opportunity to listen to some of the foremost thought leaders on mental fitness & health in general.
The information you'll have access to is based on cutting edge research and will help you successfully navigate the current environment. Check them out below and register – places are limited so they will be booked fast.
In keeping with our two executive events, we invite you to read our article on mindfulness and its benefits for those who use it.
Happiness has a very subjective meaning and this month we want to share three interesting perspectives on this topic with you. We hope that our article makes you think about what really makes you happy, so that you can invest most of your energy towards those actions.
Read moreHow do you feel about your work lately? Is it something that you are still proud of? Do you still find meaning in it? Or is it just something that you do because it provides a certain level of comfort and some financial reward?
Why do you think it has happened?
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.
In last month’s newsletter we talked about self-awarness and how important it is in developing your emotional intelligence. In that article we put together a list of resources for anyone interested in starting their journey.
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.
Read moreManaging Stress & Anxiety in Leadership roles, an executive development program we co-delivered together with Srini Pillay, Harvard Medical School and Adam Leonard, Google Inc, has successfully ended.
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. The more thoroughly you prepare, the higher the probability that you will find a role that fits your values/ purpose and helps you further enhance your career.
Read moreThis month we want to talk to you about stress management. 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. However, a very small percentage of us as managers truly know how to coach our employees. But we can learn, as you will read about in this month’s main article.
We also invite you to put aside some time and view a great talk on compassion and technology by the Dalai Lama which took part at SingularityU The Netherlands. And because September is usually a pretty busy period, you can find some great tips about reducing stress in the article from Srini Pillay@Harvard Medical School and Shirzad Chamine@Stanford.
September is just around the corner and it’s time to get back to business. We’ve put together some fantastic articles to help you start of on the right foot. This month we’re talking about feedback and the steps you can take to make sure it is as effective as possible for both the person giving it as well as for the one who is receiving it.
We are also looking at the future and how technology will be able to help us vastly improve our knowledge. Check it out.
Based on the article I wrote a while ago about the new role of “HR”, I’ve found so far 2 titles I find much more suitable for the times to come:
Summer is in full swing. Things are a bit more relaxed and most of us are thinking about our future vacations or already on our way to our vacation destination. In this month’s newsletter we’ve selected some great reading content for you to enjoy during your holidays.
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.
Last month we started a discussion on Customized Individual Development, an aspect we consider paramount for the retention and development of key people as well as for attracting some of the best ones out there. In the second part of our article we share some ideas on what this plan should contain as well as some best practices to maximize your Return on Investment as well as your Return on Learning & Engagement.
We also invite you to take a look at a great TED Talk by Nonny de la Pena about the future of news and how innovations in this field will be able to put the viewer in the middle of the story. And if you are looking for inspiration check out Mark Bonchek’s article on Unlearning, a rare yet valuable skill that can help us stay ahead in these times of transformative change.
In our newsletter last month we talked about how critical a customized retention strategy is, especially in these times when really good people are hard to find and retain. 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.
A new challenging year is upon us. Along with it comes the opportunity to improve the way we do business, learn how to adapt more quickly and make better use of the tools we have at our disposal.
This is why in January’s newsletter we’re proposing a simple yet customizable perspective on employee retention and engagement – paying more attention to the individual as opposed to a “one size fits all” approach. The more proactive companies are in starting a dialogue with their key talent, the better it will be for their bottom line.
This month we will talk about education as well. One of the most important aspects, shaping not only our success as individuals but also the future of our society. 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.
Read moreIn this newsletter we look at why it is important to make a priority out of putting moral values in leadership and having a leadership benchmark profile that takes this into account when you’re recruiting & promoting. We also invite you to ask yourself some powerful questions with regard to how you spend one of the most valuable resources you have...your time. In this fast changing business environment you can sometimes forget how valuable and finite time really is. Make sure you check out our two selected articles on workplace motivation and the impact of technology on the way we learn.
In this month’s newsletter we’re getting back to business, suggesting some areas where you can put your vacation energy to good use – we hope that you will find inspiration in the content we developed and selected on employee engagement, encouraging change in your company and improving the quality of your CV.
Read moreWe hope you’ve taken the time this summer to recharge your batteries and create great memories with your family and friends.
