Can someone please help me obvert the following categorical propositions?

Hello,
I am teaching myself introductory logic; I bought a textbook. In one of the chapter exercises, I have to obvert a few propositions. Obversion involves changing the quality of a given statement, and then replacing the predicate of the proposition with its term complement. I get that. But I have trouble now obverting these statements:
"No cult leaders are people who fail to brainwash their followers",
"Some college football coaches are people who do not slip money to their players",
and "Some budgetary cutbacks are not actions fair to the poor".

Thank You.

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

"No cult leaders are people who fail to brainwash their followers",....if I understand what you want
All cult leaders succeed in brainwashing their followers.
Btw, you're supposed to inquire about logic. So, usually reasoning that includes words like "all" suffers from an argument from omniscience fallacy or sweeping generalization depending on how someone forms the argument, how terms are defined, etc...
