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:

Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.

managers, authors, and thought leaders who can discuss how to
give honest feedback without being hurtful.
Deadline to submit a Pitch: June 30th

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

exchanges, Representatives of Indian banks, regulators)

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?

Are these marriages more or less successful than conventional
meet-ups?
Are these mostly cultural/ethnic?
I'm looking for studies and data.
I want to compare these findings with dating sites like
eHarmony.com, OKCupid.com, J.Date.com and Match.com.

Name: Michael Toebe Red Diamonds Newsletter
Category: GeneralEmail: query-axvg@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Newsletter
Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 23 June
Query:
THE PLAN: I'm going to be writing an article or feature on this
quote for Red Diamonds Features, written by Michael Toebe and
the Red Diamonds Newsletter (a weekly publication), both
published on the Medium platform and shared on LinkedIn (5000+
contacts, 6000+ followers), Twitter and possibly one more social
media site, beBee. I have a new idea as well for sharing the
best quotes from articles and features for more exposure.
BENEFITS: For the people whose quotes I use, I will add a link
to your professional profile and professional homepage. I will
also upload your photo.
BACKGROUND: the Red Diamonds Newsletter was launched as a weekly
publication in Sept. 2019. I have interviewed 50+ people, from
CEOs, professors, authors, coaches, strategists, psychologists,
media, entrepreneurs, advisers, consultants, etc. The newsletter
covers communication, decision making, behavior, conflict,
trust, professional relationships, courage, resilience,
reputation and crisis.
VET ME: You can find my profile on LinkedIn and Muck Rack.
Requirements:
1) Please write a concise two or three sentences about who you
are as if we are getting along well in a personal conversation
and I ask you about what you deliver to society. Brevity is a
beautiful thing. :) Trust me, I find most people impressive
without reading a full resume.
2) Cut and paste the Tony Robbins quote into your reply and
provide a focused, concise impression of what this quote means
in the context of a) yourself if you have recovered from your
own professional reputation crisis or b) you are a coach,
therapist or other leader who has helped a people improve their
thinking, decision making, actions AND professional and personal
reputation.
This can be in business, technology, higher education,
government, sports and entertainment, media, law, medicine, etc.
3) Most people are truthful yet I will write this anyway:
please be honest in your responses.
NOTE: I get a lot of quality responses. Regrettably, I can't
choose everyone. If I don't use your answers, it doesn't mean I
don't find you impressive or don't value you. It just means for
this one article, I have more than enough quality and quantity
to use. It doesn't mean we might not be able to collaborate on a
future piece.

Name: Michael Toebe Red Diamonds Newsletter
Category: GeneralEmail: query-axvq@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Newsletter
Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 23 June
Query:
PLAN: to write on the topic of psychological flexibility for a)
Red Diamonds Features, written by Michael Toebe and b) the
weekly Red Diamonds Newsletter, written by Michael Toebe.
(Please read or skillfully skim the entire query).
ANGLE: to write on psychological flexibility as it pertains to
pertains to decision analysis, decision making and decision
quality and thus ability to make critical adjustments for ideal
or best-case outcomes. I'm interested in this topic more as a
general study than someone's specific job. What are your general
takeaways? That's what I'm most seeking. If I have more
questions, I will certainly seek your additional expertise.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: if you can speak to the above and also
from experience and wisdom speak to psychological flexibility as
it relates to crisis management and reputation, that will
certainly gain my attention as well.
IDEAL SOURCES: psychologists, psychology professors, performance
coaches, executive coaches, founders, athletes, successful
sports coaches, government officials, columnists, reporters,
wilderness professionals, mountaineers, etc. You are welcome to
share this query if you know of great sources.
To PUBLICISTS: you are welcome to contact me of course if your
client's expertise is closely aligned to the specifics of the
topic and the angle and speak to both with receptiveness and
skill.
PUBLICATION: the Red Diamonds Newsletter a weekly publication on
Medium on communication, decision making, behavior, conflict,
trust, professional relationships, courage, resilience,
reputation and crisis.
PAST SOURCES: CEOs, professors, authors, executive coaches,
strategists, entrepreneurs, therapists, media professionals,
attorneys, ADR professionals, well-known specialized experts in
their field. I've been fortunate to interview a lot of "big
brains."
DISTRIBUTION: on Medium and shared on LinkedIn, Twitter and
beBee.
COMMITMENT: I will shine a positive light on you and your work
and quote you accurately and in context.
SMALL PRINT: Most people I interview are content or quite happy
with the final article or feature.
Some who were hopeful that what I would write would be a 100
percent advertisement and marketing copy for their work have
seem less enthused, yet that's not what I offer. :)
It's a publication to inform, educate and enlighten, not a
marketing agency, although I do offer what I listed earlier in
this query that most publications don't. I write this so there
are not unmet expectations and frustration or disappointment.
BENEFITS: a link to your professional profile and professional
home page and distribution on different sites.
Requirements:
1) Write a concise one or two sentences about who you are,
specifically, with brevity.
2) Communicate your initial, focused, on point expertise on
psychological flexibility, on the specific angle mentioned in
the earlier part of this HARO query.
3) Thank you.

Query:
Sen. Sherrod Brown has released a proposal that would create new
restrictions on the collection of personal data by online
companies.
The proposal would, among other things:
-- Ban the collection, use or sharing of personal data unless
specifically allowed by law. The proposal would allow personal
data collection only when "strictly necessary."
-- Ban the use of facial recognition technology
-- Prohibit the use of personal data to discriminate in housing,
employment, credit, insurance, and public accommodations;
-- Create a new, independent agency that is dedicated to
protecting individuals' privacy and the implementation of the
new regulations.

My questions:
-- This seems to be the most restrictive of recent privacy
proposals. Does it have a chance of passing?
-- Is this a good idea? Is it necessary to protect privacy, or
does it go too far?
-- What effect would this proposal have on Internet companies'
business models?
-- Do you think Congress will pass new privacy rules this year,
or eventually?
