I am an SC(Going to be manager this year), working with deloitte. Had my first oral session with a potential GPS client for a proposal. Was very nervous to begin with and forgot my lines during the oral. I feel like I sounded like an idiot the entire time. Really worried what it will do to my future chances to be part of orals and what kind of impression it has made on deloitte leadership. I am usually a good orator but the pressure of presenting to a potential client made me nervous.

Prob not a good one but they’ll recognise your level and fact that most people fluff their first time. Dust it off pal, you’ll have plenty of experience yet

It happens to the best of us. And not every single day of the rest of your life can be a good day. Some days you just have to put behind you and recognize that you are at least trying to learn and grow by doing new things and putting yourself in the learning zone. Personally for me, I am against rehearsing for a pitch or a client presentation. Know what points you want to make but let the conversation be an engaging one and keep your mind focused on the dialogue versus the lines you want to say.

Does anyone have advice/ experience with disclosing or advocating for your ADHD support needs in highly toxic environments? Or getting formal disability accommodations?

I submitted an HR request for accommodations and it’s been ignored for over a week.

I really can’t take another week of spending every day crying.
