Frans Van Loef What does it mean to be a manager? In today’s world, managers need to wear many hats. They have to be a mentor, mediator, communicator, coach, and numerous other roles simultaneously. But at its core, management is about matchmaking. You need to map the talents of your team to the needs of your business. That means making the most of your team’s combined talents and unlocking the diversity in your team. Unfortunately, as managers struggle with limited time and resources, they overlook this critical component. All too often, managers end up assigning tasks on autopilot, matching business…
Tracy Brower It can be tough out there for leaders. It’s challenging to drive results, ensure you’re supporting employees’ well-being, and maintain your own motivation as well. So how can you be a good leader, and what are the strategies that really work? A helpful concept is spacious leadership—a management approach in which you create space for others to participate, make choices, and be their best. With spacious leadership, you also ensure space for yourself to enhance your own effectiveness and satisfaction on the job. THE NEED FOR IMPROVED LEADERSHIP In spite of leaders who work hard to do their…
The last memory Han Tae-soon has of her daughter as a child is in May 1975, at their home in Seoul. "I was going to the market and asked Kyung-ha, 'Aren't you coming?' But she told me, 'No, I'm going to play with my friends'," recalled Ms Han. "When I came back, she was gone." Ms Han would not see her daughter again for more than four decades. When they reunited, Kyung-ha was almost unrecognisable as a middle-aged American woman named Laurie Bender. Kyung-ha had been kidnapped near her home, brought to an orphanage, then sent illegally to the US…
There’s not a single problem in my life that couldn’t be solved or at least ameliorated by a large influx of cash. But the point of the old saying that money can’t buy happiness is that the excitement that comes with buying expensive gadgets and tchotchkes rarely lasts. So maybe I’ve had the means to make myself happier all along. “Research shows that strategic spending absolutely pumps up your happiness levels, but not in the way you may think,” says Jessica Weiss, a happiness researcher and author of the upcoming book, “Happiness Works: The Science of Thriving at Work.” The…
Julian Hayes II Life offers a series of uncomfortable truths, often rooted not in surface-level perception but in our deeper human wiring. One of those truths is that appearance still matters. Whether we're talking about economic, social, or political advantage, there's long been an undercurrent of belief in what's known as "pretty privilege" or beauty bias. In 2025, discussing appearance and leadership in the same breath may seem outdated or offensive. We live in a time of heightened sensitivity, swift backlash, and disagreement often met with protest or cancellation. But here’s the truth: how you show up still matters, and…
Maybe coffee doesn't need to be the very first step in our morning routines. While it's often associated with wakefulness, experts claim there may be benefits to holding off on that cup of joe for a different time of day. Cortisol, a stress hormone, is highest in our body right as we wake up, according to Julia Zumpano, a registered dietitian with the Cleveland Clinic Center for Human Nutrition. From there, she said, it begins to decline naturally throughout the day. Caffeine is a stimulant, so if it's consumed (by drinking coffee, for example) when cortisol is high, that can…
Stefan Grigorov Key Takeaways People, not tools, drive innovation in the age of AI. Consensus and emotional intelligence unlock organizational resilience and creativity. Adaptive, value-driven leadership builds purpose-aligned, future-ready teams. In an era of technological disruption and economic uncertainty, a 2024 Harvard Business Review research reveals that the "war for talent" continues to rage, with 91.9% of executives citing cultural obstacles as the greatest barrier to organizational transformation. Through years of being a social entrepreneur and COO of a custom software company, I've learned that the most successful organizationsare rarely built by individual efforts alone, but rather by leaders who…
Key Takeaways Overconsumption of animal-based protein raises IGF-1 levels—a growth hormone linked to increased risk of chronic disease, accelerated aging, and reduced cellular repair. While IGF-1 is essential in youth and for muscle repair, chronically elevated levels in adulthood can disrupt longevity by promoting cell growth over cellular cleanup (autophagy). Experts recommend a Mediterranean or flexitarian approach—favoring plant- and fish-based proteins over heavy meat consumption—to reduce IGF-1 and support long-term health. Protein is an essential nutrient for optimal health. And between the variety of meats, eggs, beans, nuts, and so much more to choose from, there are a lot of…
Podcaster Joe Rogan recently expressed skepticism regarding the Big Bang theory and said he finds the idea of the Resurrection more realistic than the claim that the universe created itself. During a conversation with comedy podcast host Cody Tucker that aired last Wednesday, Rogan also said he's “sticking with Jesus” when it comes to miraculous claims. “It’s funny, because people will be incredulous about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but yet, they’re convinced that the entire universe was smaller than a head of a pin and that for no reason that anyone has adequately explained to me, instantaneously became everything?…
Sarah Jacoby Natural sweeteners — especially maple syrup and honey — have taken over social media recipes. But which one should you use? And are they actually any healthier than plain old sugar? Both maple syrup and honey are considered natural sweeteners, registered dietitian Grace Derocha tells TODAY.com. "And that's why they get all the buzz," she says. But a natural sweetener isn't necessarily better for you than other options. Honey and maple syrup are "still added sugars," says Derocha, who is also a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “You still have to be aware of how…
