Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary. Very rude & absurd behaviour from them. Hence rejecting the offer as such company if u aren't sure when to ask for joining u may revoke the offer letter later on. Hence multiple options in hand is necessary nowadays. Infosys Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies

Is there something specific that you’re not sounding confident with?
I think a lot of it comes to do with decision-making in meetings, needing to be assertive or state an opinion that is not agreeable with the rest of the team. I’m also needing to negotiate my position and compensation in a week and I worry that it will appear as though I’m asking for too much and don’t sound assertive and confident enough in the way in which I ask.
Looks like you could use a dose of personal power. You are a marketing professional and if you needed to market your story, all of it, from ADHD to people pleasing to everything that makes you feel powerless at the moment, how would you tell your story, market yourself, in a way that makes you feel powerful? If your life was a brand, what would it be and how can you own it? Imagine your childhood was your life training for this lifetime? How did it prepare you? Own your story and you will probably find your power there! I relate to you in people pleasing and I recently wrote an article on LinkedIn about capitalizing it. Check it out in case it resonates :)

It’s a really old book but check out Deborah Tannen - “Talking 9 to 5” or Sheryl Sandberg “Lean In.” Even easier search them on YouTube. Also check out Charisma on Command videos like this one https://youtu.be/IeLouT9Aj7s
Appreciate you being so honest about the struggle. I’ve personally coached working professionals with ADHD like you and I definitely recommend following and connecting with Farah Jamil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/farah-mha-cec. She gave an amazing talk today at a Harvard Institute of Coaching training and speaks from personal experience. I love that she talks about these tendencies you’ve mentioned as superpowers and that perspective switch is one of the most powerful tips for more confidence. She’ll actually be doing a LinkedIn Live version next week: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/instituteofcoaching_in-this-upcoming-linkedin-live-session-farah-activity-7066427498678415360-zUkn?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios. Hope you can listen in and that this helps!
