Media Outlet: Nail Pro magazine

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 November

Query:

Hi there, I'm working on the health column for an upcoming issue
of NAIL PRO magazine, a magazine for nail techs/manicurists.
This one addresses job burnout so I'm looking for professional
insights about why burnout happens, what the signs are and how
workers can overcome it.

I think that nail techs probably have a few elements to their
jobs that can cause burnout: the physical demands of the job (on
their feet for hours, back strain, knee pain), the emotional
labor of customer service and simply being overworked during the
busy holiday season.

I would love help from psychologists or therapists with some
experience deadling with job burnout, ideally. I also need
practical advice for self-care, perhaps relaxation techniques,
stretches, etc. thanks very much!

Requirements:

psychologists, professors, occupational therapists, physical
therapists, certified yoga instructor?

businesses, or start-ups and have become incredibly successful;
or single moms who have overcome significant personal finance
struggles and become a significant financial success and have
lessons to share; or single moms who have had a profound impact

impact) at a time when the Earth is facing unprecedented
challenges and destruction. In other words, I'm looking for the
Erin Brockovich of their arena.

I have 2 questions I'm working on for my next set of Careers Now

1. There are a lot of resume writing services out there these
days. When should someone consider using a service instead of
writing their resume themselves? And if they want to use a
service, what are some things to beware of when deciding which
one to use?

1. So many people are going above and beyond their job
description to help their employers in any way they can during
the coronavirus crisis. I recently spoke with someone who has
for all intents and purposed assumed the responsibilities that
should be handled by his supervisor. He has been at his job for
almost 3 years, but the supervisor is new and doesn't know how
to handle many of the job's most important tasks--and there
isn't much assistance because so many employees are working
virtually. Is there a way this person can make a case for an
increase in pay without sounding as if he just doesn't want to
chip in and help?

further as it becomes more mass market. It's also finding its
way, establishing its rules and practices by trial and error. We
want to look at the ecosystem that is emerging around

Are there booking agencies which have emerged that specialize in
podcasting and help folks decide which shows are worthwhile, and
quantify their reach amid a crowded field? What about agents who
specialize in podcasters, looking to expand their reach via
other deals - leveraging the IP of a show across other
platforms, for example, moving into TV, film or book deals?
Perhaps there are also companies that can help boost your
profile, much like services which help increase your reach on
Instagram or Twitter? Conferences, too, are clearly vital: which
ones are most impactful, and why? How have they developed (both
before and during the pandemic)?

I'm curious to learn more about companies like these, and
others, which have sprung up around the core podcasting
platforms to help with sales, marketing and reach - in other
words, support services that have emerged expressly directed at
the podcasting sphere as it grows and becomes more mainstream.

I'd also love to hear from podcasting experts - authors,
producers, veterans of the space - who can share perspective,
too, on the ecosystem that is developing as the podcasting
sphere grows larger (and more lucrative)

Requirements:

Please send me a single para pitch with topline details.

Please mark subject line: PODCASTING

No attachments, please - all emails with attachments will be

Feel free to pass on this query to anyone whom you think might

Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about

Young People Changing Our World. Full description here

Our society is going through a rough time right now. But
amazingly, so many young people have now taken initiative to
help make our world a bit better.

We would love to feature young leaders - teen leaders, and
twenty something leaders - who have taken initiative to make a
positive change in our society. It can either be through a local
grassroots initiative, a non profit organization, or a business
that has a social impact angle. We would love to discuss their
vision for the better world that they would like to help create,
and the steps needed to make that happen.

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

48) Summary: How much responsibility does HR and boards play in leadership misconduct?

Name: Michael Toebe Red Diamonds Essays

Category: General

Email: query-bhbl@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Essays

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 3 November

Query:

TOPIC: Do boards and HR alike bear responsibility for hiring and
enabling leaders with severe character deficiencies, such as
lack of ethics, narcissism, corruption, etc.?

(How much responsibility does HR and boards play in leadership
misconduct?)

ANGLE: Usually, when negative media breaks, the company or
organization as a whole takes the media and public relations
hit, maybe the internal relations/employee relations hit too.
Investors might be upset. Yet rare is it that human resources or
a board (when relevant) takes any heat. Should they or should
they not?

How much credibility, trust, relationship quality and reputation
is lost within an organization due to a hire that acts in an
unethical, immoral way that leads to scandal and crisis. Or does
it not? Why?

INTERVIEW: brief email interview

PUBLICATION: this will be pitched to selected online business
magazines and newspapers. While I expect success, at worst this
will be self published at Red Diamonds Essays on the Medium
platform and republished on LinkedIn (nearly 6000 connections
and 6000= followers) and shared on Twitter.

SOURCES: anyone who can speak intelligently on the topic,
whether that be board members, board chair, HR professionals,
SHRM, professors, organizational development professionals,
authors, attorneys, reporters, etc.

ABOUT ME: I have been published in six online leadership
magazines and three newspapers. I also self publish and podcast.
I write regularly on ethics, governance, communication,
behavior, professional relationships, scandal, crisis and
reputation.

RECENT ARTICLES: I have written about Elizabeth Holmes and
Theranos, McDonald's and Black Franchisess, NetFlix and "Cuties"
and about a Vogue editor-in-chief and her professional
adversity.

Requirements:

INTRODUCTION: good morning, please share a precise, concise
introduction to who you are and what you do, as if we were
meeting at a social function, speaking conversationally. :)

NEXT: please provide your initial thoughts on the topic and
angle.

AVAILABILITY: I am most seeking and work best with professionals
who are prompt and responsive through the interview process.

Thank you, very much :)

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 3 November

Query:

TOPIC: Why isn't emotional intelligence more common when people
communicate in ongoing conflicts and crisis, in a business
and/or political context? Objectively speaking, what is the
disconnect? This conversation will be about the topic in
general.

ANGLE: Why do we not see (or care) that emotional intelligence
is missing when we communicate within ongoing, entrenched
conflicts (business, the workplace and politics as they relate
to leaders and also the public)? How can we hold ourselves to a
higher standard and deliver more to other people with our
potential for humanity, without excuses?

INTERVIEW: a brief email interview, usually two or three
questions.

PUBLICATION: I will pitch this article to select online
magazines and newspapers. While I expect success, at worst I
will self publish at Red Diamonds Essays and then republish on
LinkedIn (nearly 6000 connections and 6000+ followers) and share
