How do you handle stuttering at work. Speaking in meetings with over a dozen to two dozen people staring at you talking. My job is going to involve meetings where everyone is a communication expert. I'll be sat down in the meeting with a dozen or more people around me and when it's my turn to speak, I'll most likely: have a major block at the start, have a shaky voice, talk too fast or mumble and constantly stutter. People don't understand what I say. I know everyone remains professional and respectful but let's be real here. In their head they are thinking: Should he really be here? Why am I working with someone who can't talk. Oh he's a disability hire? Is he dumb? People are uncomfortable when we stutter, does anyone else notice how awkward people get? And yes I don't blame them, it's not everyday you come across someone who can't speak. How do you all do it?
