Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 15 July
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://medium.com/authority-magazine/constant-contact-cmo-john-orlando-why-you-need-to-hug-and-believe-what-your-data-is-telling-you-fbb1e3672d91?source=friends_link&sk=2ecc2724a3829e66cb08a3b30598bfa6

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
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/340907
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/339554
The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegler/heres-what-the-best-athletes-of-the-90s-look-lik
Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.
Yitzi Weiner, Alexandra Spirer, and Parveen Panwar will be the
primary leads for the series. Most interviews will not require
phone interviews and can be done by email. Requirements:
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.
Deadline to submit a Pitch: June 30th

Query:
Your Brain on White Guilt: As global protests increase the white
awareness about racial injustice, many are likely experiencing
the phenomenon of White Guilt. I'm working on an article that
will examine the science of guilt--what is happening to us
emotionally and physically? How does guilt impact our
productivity? And, in the framework of the racial justice
movement, how can people move out of a place of guilt and into a
place of action?
I am seeking psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists or
any other medical or science professional to discuss the above
questions. Ideally, I would like people who have specifically
studied guilt or worked with people suffering from guilt. If you
have experience around white guilt specifically, all the better.
I haven't started pitching this piece yet, but I'm hoping to
have it published on Psychology Today or a similar platform.
Please send a brief pitch with your qualifications to address
this matter. If you're a good fit, I'll conduct an email or
phone interview.
Requirements:
You are a practicing medical professional with a degree in
neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry or the like. Willing to
participate in an email or phone interview in the next two
weeks. Specific experience with the study of guilt is ideal but
not required.

Hi! I'm one of the writers for Vox's Money Talks series, and
we're looking to interview a set of parents on how they're
planning to handle childcare this summer -- with an emphasis on
both the public safety and the financial aspects. Since our
series focuses on people negotiating tricky financial issues,
I'm especially interested in interviewing people who initially
had different ideas on how their child(ren) should spend the
summer, and how they came to an agreement/solution.
