Franchisees

ANGLE:
https://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-files-to-dismiss-black-ex-franchisees-lawsuit-2020-10

I'd like to talk about McDonalds viewpoint and legal response to
this conflict as well as to how it plays out in the media,
public and in the minds of Black franchisees. Also, is McDonalds
likely to successfully defend itself, at least in the short term?

SEEKING: Attorneys who specialize in this type of law, law
professors, reporters who have reported on similar or somewhat
similar stories and legal analysts. Public Relations specialists
are also sources of interest.

INTERVIEW: seeking to conduct a brief email interview with
someone who can be promptly responsive to returning the
completed interview and be available if I have any follow-up
questions (that's rare, yet it does happen).

PUBLICATION: the article will be published in Red Diamonds
Essays and republished on LinkedIn (6000+ followers). I will
likely also pitch the piece to online magazines and major
newspapers and buy a lottery ticket, figuratively speaking, and
pitch it to a law magazine.

Requirements:

INTRODUCTION: please precisely, concisely introduce yourself,
not so much as an elevator pitch. Instead, describe who you are
and what you do as if you and I were meeting at a dinner party
or some other casual, social function. In other words, just
speak conversationally.

Thank you greatly,

Michael

popular right now with employees, there are costs many don't
realize they'll be shouldering that their employer once covered:

incidental office supplies and the need for better Internet

these costs, especially as they feel a bottom line benefit to
people working more from home?

The nonprofit is a great behind-the-scenes story because it
actually sells products, but mostly through bricks-and-mortar
retail - Whole Foods Markets, Disney theme parks, Room & Board,
local specialty shops, etc. Because of this, it was hard hit by
COVID-19.

So we're creating a show where we build up its online store to
increase sales.

One of the biggest things they need right now is traffic for the
nonprofit's site and store.

clients can play a part with a donation of advertising or simply
sending it out to your audience, that would be helpful.

the industry's biggest concern? 3) For years the problems with
radio often had to do with homogenization and large corporate
owners. Is there a way for smaller stations to create some
identity and independence? 4) What's a commercial radio station
that you think is doing things right in 2020? 5) Where will the
industry be in 10 years (more talk, older demo, shifting
formats, etc.?) 6) In an age of streaming, podcasts,
personalized playlists, etc. what can radio provide a listener?

Requirements:

Music industry and radio people preferred! (Preferably the

My next column features ways readers can maximize their work
from home space. I am looking for expert quotes that answer the
following:

1) What can I do to speed up the Wi-Fi in my house (other than

multiple people working from home or going to school from home
are sucking up the signal?

(not the internet connection, but the computer itself)? What are
some user-friendly, free/inexpensive ways someone can figure out
what is slowing down their computer and, thus, fix it to help
speed it up?

to remote desktop or my office's VPN slows everything to a
crawl? Is there an easy or simple solution for that?

4) How can I keep my at-home devices charged for longer? This
includes laptops, phones and wireless mouses.

5) How can I use items already in my house to make my work
station more ergonomic? What can I use to prop up my feet or
wrists? How can I support my back and neck?

6) How can I set boundaries while working from home so I don't
get burnt out?

amidst chaos in the home (say in the same room as someone else
working from home, or a dining room table with young kids to
watch)

Anyone with professional IT experience, ergonomics and remote
working expertise.

112) Summary: Reputation Trauma, Poise and Resiliency

Name: Michael Toebe Red Diamonds Essays

Category: General

Email: query-bfmu@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Essays

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 25 October

Query:

IDEA: Reputation Trauma, Poise and Resiliency

ANGLE: How we can overcome injury and trauma to our reputation
and how poise, clarity, courage and wise response can stimulate
resiliency.

PUBLICATION: Red Diamonds Essays, a publication on Medium. I
also share the essays on Twitter, LinkedIn (6000+ followers) and
beBee and might share this piece on Thrive Global.

SEEKING: I am receptive to pitches from psychologists, experts
on resilience, professors and authors on the topic.

Requirements:

INTRODUCTION: Please write a precise yet concise introduction of
yourself and your work, as if we were meeting at a dinner party.

PLEASE CUT AND PASTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE ANSWERING THE
QUESTIONS:

IDEA: Reputation Trauma, Poise and Resiliency

ANGLE: How we can overcome injury and trauma to our reputation
and how poise, clarity, courage and wise response can stimulate
resiliency.

QUESTION: Reputation injury and trauma can be overwhelming. We
can either come out swinging or shut down emotionally, neither
of which are ideal or helpful to recovery. What can we best do
to retain or regain poise so we can think clearly, overcome
negative impulses and move forward wisely?

QUESTION: We want to overcome injury and trauma yet we can get
stuck in our pain and also beating ourselves up emotionally or
holding on to resentment and rage. How can we travel through
that to heal and healthier thinking and recovery?

QUESTION: What is emotional resilience and recovery most
dependent on when it comes to damage to our reputation (and ego
and sense of self)?

DEADLINE: Looking for answers sent to my email no later than
SUNDAY AFTERNOON at 3 PM CT. If your replies are all I need,
excellent. If I need follow up, I will be most drawn to people
who are quickly and thoroughly responsive.
