Started a new job in December and I’ve noticed my ability to form a sentence or articulate myself is becoming non existent. Since I have left school I feel like my ability to speak to anyone or even just get a point across is becoming worse and worse and it’s not only at work it’s also with my friends and family.

My new role is a trainee accountant so I’m constantly learning new stuff and have to ask questions etc. Problem with this is the second I try and explain what I need help with and get the slightest bit nervous I am unable to form a proper sentence and it comes out inside out and back to front is the way I like to describe it.

I have these group trainee meeting monthly and I embarrass myself at them every single time. During the meetings you have to talk about your current placement, how your getting on and feedback ect. Issue is I constantly forget words and I end up saying allowed “what’s the word” because I leave a silence for so long.

Moral of the story here is how do I learn to articulate myself better because I swear it’s declining everyday. I need to give a good impression throughout my time in the position and if I can’t even form a sentence what hope have I got.

Any tips?
