30y old here. I run a global marketing team and every day is hard. It’s difficult when you can’t articulate what you want, but I try and speak with my actions as much as possible rather than my voice. I treat email and my tasks with huge priority so people can see I’m doing my job properly and I keep communication open this way. I have to present to the whole company multiple times a week and it’s never enjoyable but you must celebrate the small wins. Sometimes I’m fluent and others I’m a wreck but you adapt and do what you can. Some people will judge you but as long as I get my job done I’ve given up caring what others think. It gets me down from time to time but if you let it get to you, it will destroy you. As I said, celebrate the small wins. Order a coffee without stuttering or say your name and feel good about it. One day we’ll master our speech and take over the world haha
