MANAGING MILESTONES ... new blog out now!

Milestones are an important part of marking life’s journey, but when you’ve experienced loss through bereavement, they can take on an extra significance. Every milestone is a reminder of the absence of our loved ones and has the potential to reignite strong emotions including grief.

To read about my own recent experience of reaching a milestone, plus some reflections on things to consider to support you through the range of emotions associated with these special but poignant moments, head over to my website www.nextchapterbereavement.co.uk

🔊 Presenting at work can be tough — especially when you struggle to read a room, and you’re on Video Call! 🔊

I’m currently working on a project after being approached by a client who’s highly skilled and confident in their subject, but struggles to feel in control when presenting on Teams. They put it like this:

🗣️“I know what I’m talking about, but I sound stressed — and I can't tell how people are responding.”

✅The proposed answer and focus is; together, we explore how emotional regulation, self-awareness tools, and a few key practical immediate changes to rhythm and structure can help turn overwhelm into confidence. It’s not about "calming down" — it’s about feeling in charge of your message.

⁉️If you or your team are navigating similar challenges, I'd love to connect and share insights from this ongoing project.

This work is part of AniMoods PUBLIC and KEY NOTE SPEAKING offering. AniMoods is a trading name of ANJ Consultancy Ltd, where we create tools and training to bridge emotional regulation, and communication.
