Hi Ladies, First time posting here. Do you have any advice on how you deal with anxiety in meetings? I find myself getting very nervous in meetings that I don’t have time to prepare for. I then tend to be very wordy instead of sharing my point or statement concisely.

Can you provide examples of meetings you don’t have time to prepare for? Try to build in time to prep as there probably always is an opportunity to do so. Also things like toastmasters and or improv classes can help you with thinking on your feet and speak more concisely without prep.

Hi! Try to limit your words. If you need time to think, pause for a while and contemplate your thoughts. Avoid eye-contact with the people around and look at their forehead instead.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
