I have to regularly present at work and externally. I do stutter at every presentation and truly hate it. But honestly, this is who I am: I will most likely never be able to present like I could if I didn’t stutter. What I do is write down exactly what I want to say. Not like the general gist, but basically word for word - the way people talk when they are presenting. I rehearse that so often that I don’t stutter when I do it for myself. Then, at least, I know that I can do it in theory. And then I go out there and have blocks. And Then I once again realize that this is who I am, which is not the most pleasant thing in the world, but I also realize that the more I do it, the leas I feel the stress. And that to an extent, it has actually gotten better… Baby steps, but it is undeniable. What I can tell you is that doing presentations, as shitty as they are, is 100% better than avoiding presentations. And if you want to practice, let me know. Others have also offered this, and seriously, it is the best thing you can do!
