Sales Admin. Talking to walk-in customers, phone calls from customers, salesmen, vendors, other company branches, etc. I stutter the most on the phone. It can be quite frustrating/embarrassing, but also really rewarding when I finish a call with more fluency than before. Some days are worse than others. I avoided jobs for so long that required talking to people for a long time; now, a year into this job, I've realized that confronting my stutter every day in front of strangers has made it improve somewhat and reduced my anxiety when speaking. It helped my normal speaking, for sure. Phone calls and saying my name are my current hurdles. You got this!
