commentr/StutterNovember 7, 2014

Content

I work in marketing and communications, and part-time as a freelance journalist. My stuttering also ranges from moderate to severe. I've always considered it kind of ironic that I used to avoid using the phone due to my stuttering. Yet, now I get paid for interviewing people on the phone and writing about it. :) But it's been worth it. It's taught me to move beyond my stuttering and developed more confidence in the way I communicate. One thing I've learned is that just because we stutter doesn't mean we're bad communicators. It just means we talk differently. We can do anything that anyone else can.
