Everybody is working on the same story with the same intention — getting it accurate, getting it right, getting it on air.”That reminder about kindness under pressure felt incredibly powerful.In this episode, we also talk about:✨ How helping her parents on a market stall shaped the way she communicates✨ Being recognised by Baroness Brady as a future female leader✨ How to truly be present in conversations and build trust✨ Blocking out noise and distractions when speaking✨ Why confidence is something you can learn and practiseAnd one quote from Anila that perfectly captures why trusted voices matter today:“In an age of fake news and social media, not knowing what’s real and what’s fake, it’s important to have someone at the heart of the story who is trusted.”Also… fair warning: I did not expect Anila’s answer to the final question to make me emotional 🥺This conversation is full of wisdom, warmth and practical insights on communication, confidence and staying grounded under pressure.Contact:Website www.aniladhami.comInstagram @aniladhamiLinkedIn @aniladhami Now I Know Podcast Links:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@NowIKnowVodcast/videosSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0ldYRFxVtr8MXhtnidOw1o?si=c926bf3ea7724225Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/245e0359-2c3f-4804-a6a4-f92a5ffc9f47/now-i-knowApple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/now-i-know/id1672343737Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wellbeing_by_resham/*SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES* Open to sponsoring opportunities from mental health and wellbeing brands.
