Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
How To Give Honest Feedback Without Being Hurtful Full details
here: https://bit.ly/2UR7vNa
When you are a boss or a manager, being able to give honest and
direct feedback is critical. But how do you give feedback
without being hurtful or demoralizing? How do you give direct
and honest feedback and still create and maintain a positive,
upbeat, and healthy work culture?
We would like to interview CEOs, executives, business leaders,
managers, authors, and thought leaders who can discuss how to
give honest feedback without being hurtful.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/social-impact-heroes-how-amber-zenith-emily-nelson-have-helped-to-reignite-a-love-for-aerobic-workouts-across-north-america/
In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the ideas from the best interviews will be submitted
to Buzzfeed and Entrepreneur.com, like these we have done:
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/345415

The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:

at least 2 - 4 articles.

managers, authors, and thought leaders who can discuss how to
give honest feedback without being hurtful.

Query:
Hi,
I previously worked for nearly a decade on the business schools
team at Businessweek. Now, I'm a freelancer who mostly covers
higher education with an emphasis on top business schools. I'm
working on a story for Business Insider about making the most of
your gap year in light of the coronavirus crisis. I'm looking
for answers to a couple of questions. I need responses no later
than tomorrow (Tuesday, June 23 at 4 p.m. ET).
1. What are some examples of a student who has successfully set
goals for a gap year? What kind of goals are reasonable to set?
2. Given the difficult job market, what are some specific ways
students can gain work experience now?
3. Are there ways students taking a gap year can take initiative
and create opportunities for themselves? If so, how?
4. Please include the correct spelling of your full name, title,
organization (or if you're a student, the scoop on when you took
your gap year and when/where you ended up going to school or
will go to school)
Thanks for your help. I look forward to your responses.

Deadline: 7:00 PM GMT - 23 June
Query:
We're currently working on a piece regarding the current Indian
crypto industry and the reluctance that Indian banks have to
work with crypto firms despite the evident growth of the
industry that is happening showing disregard for the underlying
regulatory uncertainty. We're looking to get insights on the
following subjects:
Why are we seeing growth in the crypto industry in India despite
the regulatory uncertainty that looms in the future? What is the
cause for their uncertainty? (Concerns of Indian regulators) Why
are Indian banks (public and private) both unwilling to work
with crypto firms? Doesn't crypto and blockchain technology seem
like a no brainer and the natural progression for a country
where corruption is rampant and transparency will cause a
paradigm shift in economics? What can Indian crypto firms
(WazirX, ZebPay,UnoCoin, CoinDCX etc.) do to further their
effort to integrate with the financial system and enhance the
trust/faith that Indian banks/regulators have in the crypto
industry? Please feel free to add any additional details that
you feel I might have failed to consider in relation to this
subject.
For your time, we will be more than happy to add your/company
name, company/profile details in the article. However, we do not
link Twitter, LinkedIn, biz websites since we are an independent
publishing house.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks, Anirudh
Requirements:
Experts in the Indian crypto industry.(CXO's of Indian crypto
exchanges, Representatives of Indian banks, regulators)
Crypto - WazirX, UnoCoin, Koinex, CoinDCX, Bitbns, Zebpay,

I am looking for answers to the following questions for my
syndicated Careers Now column:
1. A reader who has had a successful career in management
emailed recently. He's been with the same company for 10 years,
but his industry (hair salons) has been hard hit by COVID-19 so
he wants to move on. His expertise is in operations and team
management, but he's worn many hats--and his resume portrays him
as a Jack of All trades rather than a master of one. And he's
asking for advice about the kind of roles he should search for.
Any suggestions?
2. Moving into a role as a manager can be exciting, but
stressful, as well. How can someone who is taking a new role as
manager make sure he or she gets to know each member of the team
and builds the most effective team possible?
