Does anyone have any experience with speech therapist or communication coaches? I feel like I am not heard in the meetings even though I have great ideas. My ADHD makes me ramble and go off on tangent but how have you controlled this? I think this has hindered my career progress even when I was in the industry. I want to hit the reset button and elevate my brand. Appreciate your help here.

There should be DU courses, virtual or in person, focused on communication. Do those.

Write down key points and focus on those when speaking up.

Look up what a speech therapist does and double check whether that’s the correct practitioner for your situation.

Does your work insurance cover speech therapy? I have a good referral for you if you're interested, they've helped me quite a bit since I've met them

Same here and I've managed to fake it til I make it - some days are worst than others. What helps is if I spend a few minutes, maybe even a half hour to prepare my talking points before a big meeting. I don't go commando. Lol! It also helps to draw energy and ideas from other people. It's unfortunate though when someone asks me a question I didn't prepare for. And even worst when speaking with strangers/people who I've never met before. Now that I'm going through job interviews after being laid off, it's particularly challenging!

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
