These are amazing advise and haven't considered how much process and basically the context to even give context to others. I would really love to see like demonstrations or examples of how these are applied. Specifically how the higher up or bosses will act or think It is hard to prepare for something that I am still projecting what I think they are thinking, as well as also then conveying said thoughts into specific words that don't allude to miscommunication and misconception. Conversations and getting hints in the workplace itself instead of a general advise online, I do get. Is just the lack of a visual on how it can go makes it feel like the barrier to try to problem solve this social communication on the spot hinders problem solving the thing I am suppose to be answering for.
This video is exactly what I need. I have so much trouble self advocating because I ruminate over how much I tend to ramble on in a circular fashion and even I don’t have the patience to listen to myself! I’m planning to make a presentation, stick to a script, and elaborate if my audience asks questions or needs clarification on something.
That sounds like a good plan. When I do that for my work I use talking points and I practice it a few times leading up to it. Be careful not to over script or over practice, but it helps a lot.
Thank you for sharing your experience and input around workplace communication. I’m AuDHD and in a leadership role and I struggle so much with being concise and getting my points across. It’d be great to see more tips around communication strategies 🙏🏼
@@sambayat8880 I really struggle with that. I have some trusted people I can process with and “try on” thinking that I them can get more concise and then script for myself and get comfortable with. That’s a big help for me
Toward the end of the video was a scenario that got me thinking about my own experiences at the office. The example given was that AuDHD employee keeps presenting issue after issue and the supervisor sees it as complaining without offering any potential solutions. My lived experience has been identifying errors AND offering logical solutions, only to be chopped down by a supervisor who probably feels that her position in the company is threatened by my (How do i say "superior" without sounding like I'm bragging?) working knowledge of accounting. Sometimes I feel like she wants to stamp the word Failure on my forehead so she can feel like she's more capable or more important than me.
@@rebeccamay6420 This is a tough one to answer without knowing more context, but generally speaking I would say trust your instinct here. She might be feeling defensive or threatened or not sure how to act around you and that can come out in a variety of ways. I've run into this myself at time where I point things out and someone of a different level feels like their being called out and can react negatively. I'm not sure I have a good solution for this one without knowing a lot more details, but I often find leaning into asking questions can sometimes help. Of course the style of questions ranges for the situation. Try to get everything in writing as often as you can so things are documented.
@AuDHDBoss definitely: either it's in the emails, which I copy-paste to save what's there in case Someone With Access tries to delete the emails, or I journal about relevant conversations and interactions.

@ thanks Brett. I’m starting to realise the importance of scripting in all aspects of my life. Having tools take away the pessimism 🙏🏼
