I am so incoherent and clumsy when I talk. Especially if it is to my seniors at work and generally with authority. I can see people's faces when I'm talking and they are thinking "get a grip". I am well educated and have a good job. I look confident but I crumble when I have to have a serious conversation. I feel small and stupid.
I've had therapy and it helped to an extent. But I just wish I could talk confidently and be taken seriously.
Can anyone give me any advice? Is there any books / courses I can do? This issue is preventing me from getting ahead in my career. People who are far less qualified are way ahead of me as they can talk confidently and command respect. I just feel like a nobody and ashamed all the time.
