Category: General

Email: query-b8b0@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 10 September

Query:

The use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is expanding rapidly
across industries, geographies, and organizational sizes, with
organizations chasing benefits including cost reduction,
operations optimization, improved customer experience, fewer
errors, easier management and control, and quick implementation
and ROI. That's driving increasing RPA spending: Gartner
projects spending on RPA software to hit $1.3 billion this year,
and Forrester forecasts a $2.9 billion RPA software market in
2021. While an organization can certainly implement RPA without
a full-blown digital transformation program, most digital
transformation programs would not really be possible without the
inclusion of some intelligent automation capabilities.

So what role does RPA play in digital transformation

Query:

The pandemic is making us on edge. But it's also starting to

Historically, there's been a loss of human compassion during
pandemics as we start to see strangers as the enemy: they might

Name: Simone Scully Healthline

Category: General

Email: query-b8pd@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 9:00 PM EST - 10 September

Query:

Growing up, my dad was addicted to work. I didn't realize this
as a kid -- I thought that his work ethic was normal. That's
what successful people did -- they worked ALL the time. I
assumed that long hours and little work-life balance were just
the price of being successful. When he retired though, he found
it hard do "nothing."

This mentality -- that work is everything -- is engrained in our
culture. But it's not always healthy.

I'm looking to interview mental health experts and/or burnout
experts about work addiction, including how to spot it, why it
happens and what to do about it.

My preliminary questions are below, if you can answer them.

1. Tell me briefly about yourself and your expertise on this
topic.

2. What does work addiction look like?

3. Why does work addiction develop?

4. Why is it sometimes hard to recognize work addiction in
ourselves, even when we can spot it in others?

5. What kind of people are prone to work addiction? Is it
something you're more susceptible to if you grew up with it
modeled?

6. What can we do to combat work addiction and set healthy
boundaries between work and life?

7. What do you say to someone who feels like it isn't possible
to have work-life balance without being less successful?

Requirements:

Must be a mental health expert (psychologist, psychiatrist,
therapist, counselor) or burnout expert.

Query:

I'm looking to speak to a fitness health expert, whether that be
a fitness coach or trainer or even a sports medicine doctor, on
fitness in 2020. In the present day, the wellness space
approaches fitness with self-compassion. This video will go
"back in time" and look at buzzwords in old workout videos,
"skinny, slender, sexy, tight" and compare them to the more
inclusive ones we see today, "strong, confident, your best". It
question whether fitness and the idea of changing/shaping your
body to look a certain way can coexist with the growing notion
of body positivity, accepting your flaws, and healthy self-talk.
We will go "back in time" and look at buzzwords in old workout

more inclusive ones we see today, "strong, confident, your
best". Fitness in 2020 is more than just losing weight. It's
about maintaining your health and not feeling pressure to fir
into a size 0.

This piece will be in the form of a short-form video that is
about 3 mins max.

Requirements:

Requirements: Must be comfortable on camera and presenting
findings to me in a recorded Zoom interview.
