Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new interview
series called
"5 Things You Need To Delegate Effectively and Be Completely
Satisfied With the Results" . Full description here
https://bit.ly/2HjOT4q
The ability to effectively delegate can be one of the most
effective tools a good leader can use. Without the ability to
delegate one becomes "the bottleneck of their own success".
While this is of course true, delegating can be hard and
requires a great deal of trust in one's team. There is also the
persistent voice in one's head that argues that "if you want
something done right you need to do it yourself". So indeed,
how do leaders delegate effectively in a way that allows them to
be completely satisfied with the results?
We would like to interview successful CEOs, founders, and
business leaders who can share advice from their own experience
about "5 Things You Need To Delegate Effectively and Be
Completely Satisfied With the Results"
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

Recently the Commodity Futures Trading Commmission released a
report on the effect of climate change on financial markets:
"Report of the Climate-Related Market Risk Subcommittee, Market
Risk Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading
Commission,"
[https://www.cftc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-09/9-9-20%20Report%20of%20the%20Subcommittee%20on%20Climate-Related%20Market%20Risk%20-%20Managing%20Climate%20Risk%20in%20the%20U.S.%20Financial%20System%20for%20posting.pdf]]
They state in the report: "The central message of this report
is that U.S. financial regulators must recognize that climate
change poses serious emerging risks to the U.S. financial
system, and they should move urgently and decisively to measure,
understand, and address these risks." 1. Can you provide your
name, title, organization, and geographic location? 2. So
how should risk managers view this? Does climate change, in
fact, pose dire risk to financial markets, or at the very least
more risk than most realize? 3. Are banks and institutions part
of the equation? Will lenders take climate risk into account
in considering the performance of commodity markets? 4. Should
lenders and financial institutions take a company's approach to
climate risk into account in lending and underwriting ventures
now and into the future? If you believe so, how? 5. Anything
else you'd like to add that you haven't had the opportunity to?

Query:
I'm writing an article for Business Insider that features
lucrative side hustles from home that are particularly good for
overstretched parents during the pandemic, given that many have
had to leave full-time jobs to provide online learning for their
kids at home. I'd like to feature some parents who have found
lucrative side hustles they can easily do from home during the
pandemic and profile them about the type of work they are doing,
how it works within their family schedule with kids' virtual
schooling, and how much they make from the online gig. If you
now make more at your side hustle than you did at your full-time
job, I'd love to hear about what you are doing now. These should
be side hustles that other parents could also more easily pursue
from home while schooling kids remotely, not jobs that would be
difficult to do online from home or to do with kids in the house.
