ah, the house of partnerships  --  all partnerships, personal and business.  also the house of open enemies.  OK in Cap and that is much much better then having Merc in Pisces.  Also, it keeps the grand communicator away from natal Neptune.  And that works well because it decreases the chances of confused / cloudy speaking.  With having Neptune conjunct the MC, which he is already experiencing some of the downfalls, and knowing the general way so many companies in this country treat their employees, y'all may want to research and check out your local chapter of Toastmasters.  I have no idea where you live.  I am in the south and Toastmasters is still a very strong program.  They work with the member(s) in all forms of physical stance, choosing of verbiage, hand gestures, voice range, and yes, how to gracefully decline requests.  All these years, I am still surprised at how many sales reps have spent a couple of years working through the Toastmasters programs.  Finally honed speaking skills provides the advantage of getting and holding the attention of people you truly need to impress.  Those skills will put an individual head and shoulders above most other applicants in the career arena.  A good Toastmasters chapter, with the right mentor, can provide the tools to greatly increase self-confidence.

And now, I will get off my soapbox...............
