Some simple pieces of advice from a successful white collar professional who, you guessed it - stutters. Dress sharp. Go to a Dermatologist for those blemishes you've been trying to get rid of since high school. Start lifting to lose fat and build muscle. Learn to style your hair. DRESS. SHARP. The point is, for a lot of us, *confidence*, or a lack thereof, is a huge contributing factor that directly impacts our fluency in any given moment. I'll bet you struggle less when talking to a 2 year old than you do trying to chat up your cute coworker in the break room. Why? Among other things, it's your perceived social status and confidence in the presence of others that determines your propensity to stutter (or not). So, to keep myself from rambling on for hours, I'll repeat one last time. DRESS SHARP.
