Canadian Journalism Students & Grads-Not Pursuing Journalism Jobs

STORY CALLOUT: Did you study journalism without the intent to become a journalist? I'm working on a feature about folks who go into Canadian journalism programs without the intent to work in the industry. I also want to hear from people at different stages of their journalism education and careers. I'm interested in speaking with: Current undergraduate and graduate journalism students. Students studying journalism who don't intend to pursue a career in the field after graduation. Students who are still unsure whether journalism is the right career for them. Journalism graduates who went on to work in different fields. Journalism graduates currently working as reporters, producers, editors or in other newsroom roles. Current journalists who can reflect on their experiences entering and building a career in the industry. I'm particularly interested in students who chose to study journalism for the skills and opportunities it offers, rather than with the intention of becoming journalists. The story will explore why people choose journalism programs, how their career expectations change throughout their studies, and how factors such as salaries, job security and working conditions influence their decisions. I'll conduct interviews by email, and I'm requesting responses by November 12, 2026. If you're interested in participating, please send me a direct message on LinkedIn. I'd also appreciate it if you shared this post with anyone who might be interested. Thank you! #Journalism #JournalismStudents #JournalismEducation #MediaCareers #JournalismCareers

Workplace Bullying Survivors - Public Humiliation & Toxic Leadership

I went out for brunch today. I left with a masterclass in toxic leadership. Beautiful venue. Strong reputation. Instagram - worthy branding. And an absolutely shocking reality behind the scenes. Today, I witnessed a manager publicly humiliating and intimidating a female employee in front of customers. A customer complained about a delayed order. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager started blaming the employee, sharing personal allegations about her behaviour and even claiming he had deliberately delayed an order to punish her. He then confronted her in the middle of the restaurant, in front of everyone. The irony? She was the ONLY employee who genuinely seemed to care about the customers and made an effort to communicate with us. As someone who has seen the world, with an MBA from Les Roches, and 3 degrees in total, with international expereince across luxury hospitality, commercial and technology environments, I find this behavious unacceptable. And as someone who has personally experienced workplace mobbing (not once), pychological and emotional abuse, this hit particularly close to home. Let's get something straight: → Feedback belongs behind closed doors, NOT in front of 30 customers. → Customer service recovery requires professionalism, NOT public humiliation. → Leadership is about accountability, NOT intimidation. → Employee experience IS customer experience. You can invest millions in branding, marketing and beautiful interiors. But how you treat your employees reveals the REAL culture behind your business. Today reinforced a long-term ambition of mine: combining international business, coaching, somatic approaches and advocacy to eventually build something bigger than myself: an educational and healing platform, a media company talking about the TRUTH. Potentially an institute dedicated to protecting human dignity and addressing workplace abuse, particularly against women. Because nobody should have to sacrifice their mental health, dignity or livelihood just to earn a living. And now I want to hear from YOU. Have you ever experienced workplace mobbing, public humiliation, psychological abuse or intimidation by someone in a position of power? Did anyone protect you? Or were you left to fight for yourself? I'm looking to connect with people willing to share their experiences and participate in interviews as I explore how to turn awareness into meaningful change. My inbox is open. Your story matters. And to every leader reading this: Your job is to lead people. Not to break them. #ToxicLeadership #WorkplaceBullying #HospitalityLeadership #EmployeeExperience #WomenAtWork #Leadership

Construction Companies & Suppliers - Building Wishes Stories

Have you ever made a wish on a star? Or held a dream so close to your heart that you just knew, somehow, someday, it was meant to become your reality? I've always believed in the power of having a dream. But I've also learned that sometimes, the difference between wishing for something and seeing it come true is having someone else believe in it, too. That's the heart behind BUILDING WISHES. This December, I'm dedicating the final special edition of Built America Magazine for 2026 to something deeply personal to me. I'm not only a publisher. I'm also the mother of a Make-A-Wish child. I've seen firsthand what happens when complete strangers come together to bring something extraordinary into a child's life. When you're a parent facing circumstances you would give anything to change, those moments mean more than words can explain. My connection to construction is personal, too. A bad contractor experience during my childhood taught me how deeply the people we trust with our homes can affect our lives. It's one of the reasons integrity, accountability, and genuine care have always mattered so much to me in this industry. And that's where these two parts of my life come together. BUILDING WISHES is about the people in our industry who make a difference in someone else's life, often without realizing just how much it means. My vision is to bring together wish-granting organizations supporting critically ill children, educational organizations helping students find their future in construction, and the businesses and individuals throughout our built environment who genuinely care about the people they serve. Wondering if your company belongs in this edition? Have you ever dedicated a project to someone or helped a family who needed it? Do you manufacture a product that saves lives, changes lives, or makes someone's everyday world a little easier? Are you a homebuilder who understands you're not just building a house, but the place where someone's children will grow up? Or maybe you're a family-owned lumberyard or building materials supplier who still knows your customers by name and takes pride in being part of what they're building. That's my dream for Building Wishes. From the smallest family-owned business to the largest manufacturer, developer, or construction company, I want to hear the stories of people who remember that behind every project, product, and purchase, there's a person whose life we're touching. As we begin bringing this December edition together, I'd love to hear from organizations, companies, and individuals who see themselves in this vision. And if you know someone whose story deserves to be told, please reach out. Sometimes, the most meaningful thing we build isn't a structure at all. It's a possibility, a future, or a wish someone thought might never come true. I’m inviting you all to be a part of this landmark issue with me. #BuildingWishes

Women in South West Nigeria - Shrinking Civic Space Testimonies

YOUR STORY MATTERS. YOUR VOICE DESERVES TO BE HEARD. What happens when women speak up, organise, lead, report, teach or challenge the status quo? Too often, they face intimidation, sexualised harassment, reputational attacks, economic exclusion and digital surveillance simply for making their voices heard. But these experiences should not remain hidden, undocumented or unheard. Through Women Reclaiming Voice, a 2026 project by Vision Spring Initiatives (VSI) in partnership with Spaces for Change, we invite women across South West Nigeria to share their lived experiences of shrinking civic space. Whether you work in civil society, media, education, the informal economy, creative industries or digital spaces, we want to hear your story. Your experience matters. Whether you have been silenced, intimidated, excluded or threatened, or have found ways to resist, organise and keep going, your story deserves to be documented. You can share your experience through a short video, voice note, written narrative or social media thread. You may remain anonymous, request voice distortion or choose to be identified. Your safety and consent remain central to this process. Selected stories will contribute to The Living Archive, a collection documenting women's experiences of civic space from 2020 to date. They may also be adapted into videos, audio features, quote cards and story slides, amplifying women's voices through VSI's Feminist Hub and social media. 📅 Submission period: 12 October – 11 November 2026 🌍 Languages: English, Yoruba or Pidgin 📩 Email: [email redacted] 📱 Social media: @vsi_ng Your story is evidence. Your voice can strengthen solidarity, support accountability and contribute to the changes women deserve. It can also remind another woman that she is not alone. You do not have to be silent about what you have experienced. Help us document the realities of shrinking civic space and reclaim the voices that have been pushed aside. In solidarity, Vision Spring Initiatives (VSI) #womenreclaimingvoice #shrinkingcivicspace

School Support Staff - Pressures, Support & Retention

📣 Calling all school support staff! 📣 I’m currently working on a journalism assignment exploring the pressures faced by school support staff and whether they receive enough support in their roles. My report is titled “Who supports the people who support our pupils?” Having worked in schools myself, I’m interested in hearing from the people who help keep schools running every day, often while balancing multiple responsibilities. I’d love to hear from staff working in roles such as: • Reception and school administration • Medical and attendance • Teaching assistants • Pastoral and behaviour support • Pupil and family support • Other non-teaching roles within schools I’m particularly interested in hearing about your day-to-day responsibilities, the challenges you face, the support available to you, and what you think could make a difference. I’m also interested in your experiences of staff retention and whether you’ve noticed changes in support staff numbers. There are no right or wrong answers — I want to hear about your experiences and perspectives. If you currently work in a school support role, or have done so recently, I’d be grateful if you’d consider speaking with me for my report. Please feel free to comment below or send me a private message if you’d be happy to have a conversation. If you know someone whose experience might be relevant, I’d really appreciate you sharing this post with them. Thank you for helping me bring attention to the people behind the scenes who play such an important role in our schools. 💬 #Education #SchoolSupportStaff #Journalism #EducationSupport

Founders, Authors & Creatives - Setbacks That Sparked Success

🎙️ I'm looking for inspiring guests for Sunday SoulDay™! What's the story behind your success that people rarely get to hear? The career pivot you never saw coming. The setback that became your turning point. The moment you decided to stop playing small, bet on yourself, or turn your pain or ideas into purpose. Those are the conversations I'm looking to have. As the host of Sunday SoulDay™, a Top 20 Apple Podcasts show that has reached #11 on the charts, I've had the privilege of connecting with remarkable people who remind us that success is about so much more than what we accomplish. As a podcast focused on self-improvement, education, personal growth, planting seeds of wisdom and purposeful living, we're continuing to bring meaningful conversations to listeners who want to grow personally and professionally. I'm especially interested in connecting with: 🌱 Founders, CEOs & Entrepreneurs — The real journey behind building something meaningful. 🌱 Authors, Thought Leaders & Experts — Fresh perspectives on personal growth, leadership, psychology, and human potential. 🌱 Athletes, Creatives & Changemakers — Stories of resilience, reinvention, courage, and overcoming adversity. 🌱 Faith & Wellness Leaders — Conversations about healing, spirituality, identity, and living with intention. You don't need a perfect success story. In fact, I'm often more interested in what happened when things didn't go according to plan. Because sometimes the most powerful part of someone's journey isn't what they achieved. It's who they became along the way. If you have a story, experience, or perspective that could inspire someone to see their life differently, I'd love to hear from you. 🎙️ Know someone whose story deserves to be heard? Whether it's a remarkable pivot, a journey from pain to purpose, or a life-changing lesson, I'd love to discover more voices for Sunday SoulDay™. Tag someone you'd love to hear on the podcast, or introduce yourself in the comments and share what you'd love to talk about. If you'd prefer to connect privately, my DMs are always open. Come for the conversation. Leave with something that fuels your soul. ✨ Sometimes one conversation can change someone's life. 🌱 Damesha Craig

Higher Education Chemistry Educators - Practical Teaching Strategies

🧪 Calling all higher education chemistry educators! Have you ever tried something in your chemistry classroom that actually WORKED? A teaching strategy that made students say, “OH! NOW I get it!” instead of staring at you like you just explained quantum mechanics in interpretive dance? A lab activity that didn’t require a second mortgage? An assessment that revealed what students actually understand (rather than what they memorized 11 minutes before the exam)? WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! As Higher Education Editor for ChemEd X (Chemical Education Xchange), I’m looking for chemistry educators willing to share their ideas, experiences, successes, and yes, even their spectacular teaching flops. Sometimes those are where the best learning happens! We’re especially interested in practical, evidence-informed contributions that other instructors can adapt and use in their own classrooms. Think teaching activities, innovative labs, assessment strategies, course redesign, student engagement, TA training, and all those clever little things you’ve figured out after years of teaching chemistry. You don’t need to reinvent the periodic table. (Although if you have, we should definitely talk.) You just need something worth sharing. And here’s the thing: Somewhere out there, another chemistry educator is struggling with a problem you’ve already solved. Let’s stop keeping our best teaching ideas trapped in our own classrooms! ✍️ Contribute to ChemEd X: https://lnkd.in/gRnGzXM9 Because chemistry is better when we share the reactions. 😉 #ChemEd #HigherEd #ChemistryEducation #STEMEducation #ChemEdX #TeachingChemistry #HigherEducation

School Leaders & NGO Staff - AI Adoption Challenges Across Sectors

Everyone is talking about AI in schools. But who’s listening to school leaders? This question had been on my mind, and I am thankful to Anthropic x Global School Leaders for inviting me to their event in New York, focused on school leaders in conversations about AI and education. My policy training has taught me to be cautious about assuming that an intervention that works in one place will work just as well in another. In research, this connects to questions of external validity and policy transfer.Evidence matters, but so does context. I saw a version of this challenge in an intervention I developed, focused on school administration in Tanzania. The question was not simply if administrators could be given educational materials or training. It was whether those resources would be enough to address their needs, or whether an effective intervention would also require time, ongoing support, and a better understanding of the challenges faced in their day-to-day work. I think the same principle applies to AI in education! Having been in school when the modern AI boom happened, I know that a tool may be technically impressive, but school leaders still need to evaluate its relevance, safety, privacy implications, and educational value. Teachers need time and support to incorporate it into their work. And schools need the infrastructure and resources to use it effectively. These needs will look different across contexts, which is precisely why local input and evidence should shape implementation from the beginning. This question extends beyond education.... Which is why I’ve been interviewing NGOs about how they currently use AI. I’m working on an article bringing these perspectives together, with a focus on the realities of AI adoption in organizations working on social impact. Follow along for updates.If you work with schools, NGOs, foundations, or technology organizations, I’d love to hear what you’re seeing. 📍Anthropic office, NY with Asha Dhakad #aispecialist #educationpolicy #aigovernance #globaldevelopment #effectivealturism

College Students 18+ - College Life, Mental Health & Social Media

COLLEGE STUDENTS — I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU I’m getting ready to record the very first episode of my new podcast, Listen & Learn, and I’m looking for 4 college-age young adults, age 18+, from different colleges and different parts of the country to join me for an honest, relaxed conversation. The Topic is Simple... What is really going on in your world today? We’ll talk about college life, social media, relationships, peer pressure, mental health, gaming, vaping, alcohol and drugs, fentanyl awareness, online culture, stress, safety, and what adults may simply not understand. You do not need a dramatic story. I’m looking for thoughtful young adults who are willing to speak honestly and respectfully from their own experience. No scripts. No lectures. No assumptions. Listen & Learn Real Conversations. Real Insight. If you’re interested — or if any of my Linkedin contacts know a college-age young adult who might be a good fit — please contact me in IM. Send me their age, college, year in school, and contact information, and let’s talk, text, or email. And this is only the beginning. For future episodes, I plan to talk with people of all ages and from all walks of life — high school students, middle school students, and even elementary-age children when appropriate and with parent or guardian permission. I also want to hear from people in active addiction, people in recovery, families, educators, school professionals, prevention advocates, treatment and recovery professionals, healthcare workers, community leaders, people working in government and politics, and anyone else with meaningful knowledge, lived experience, or perspective to share. The sky is the limit. There are so many important topics worth talking about, and my hope is that these conversations will bring greater awareness, education, understanding, compassion, and ultimately positive change. Sometimes the greatest thing we can do is stop assuming we already know the answers and simply LISTEN to one another. Because when we truly LISTEN, we just might LEARN. Let’s get this conversation started.

Residency & Visa Specialists - International Relocation Features

Overseas Property Insider isn't a property portal. It was never designed to be one. I created OPI as a global educational and editorial platform for people researching buying, investing, relocating or building a life overseas. And that distinction is becoming increasingly important. The way people research major decisions is changing. They're not only searching Google anymore. They're asking AI detailed questions. Can I buy property in Spain as a non-resident? What should I know before relocating to Portugal? Does buying property qualify me for residency? What taxes should I consider before buying overseas? OPI is increasingly appearing in AI searches and recommendations, and I don't think that's accidental. I've deliberately built the publication around useful, structured, educational content that answers the questions people are actually asking. Because finding a property is only one part of the journey. There's the legal process. Residency. Tax. Currency. Finance. Relocation. Healthcare. Insurance. Local regulations. And the reality of actually building a life somewhere new. That's why OPI covers the wider picture through country guides, buying guidance, relocation information, practical resources and expert insight from around the world. And I'm incredibly proud that this year Overseas Property Insider was recognised by Wealth & Finance International as: 🏆 Best Overseas Property Investment Insights Platform 2026 🏆 International Relocation Guidance Excellence Award 2026 I'm now expanding the global network of credible professionals and businesses whose expertise belongs on OPI. I'm particularly interested in hearing from lawyers, residency and visa specialists, relocation professionals, tax and wealth experts, currency and mortgage specialists, healthcare and insurance professionals, and other specialists whose knowledge can genuinely help people navigating an international move or investment. There are selected opportunities for expert contributions, sponsored editorial and relevant professional brand features. But I'm selective. You can't simply pay to say anything on OPI. Anything I publish has to be relevant, credible and genuinely useful. That's important for the people reading it, for search visibility and, increasingly, for how information is discovered through AI. If your business operates internationally and you have genuine expertise that OPI's global audience should know about, I'd like to hear from you.
