I have a masters degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and I stand on a stage in a huge auditorium every other week and train medical professionals (60 to 100+ in the audience) and avoidance was not an option. I always start with an ice breaker, "Good morning, my name is.... and I have a stutter. If I get stuck on any word, please give me 8 hours, and hopefully, it will come out (insert audience laughter here). If you know what I'm trying to say, help me help you help me because I believe that teamwork makes the dream work." Once I say that, it's out in the open, and now I can focus on my training presentation (4 hrs long). I do block and repeat, but they are going to remember the training, and the LOUD applause 👏 afterward is just amazing! Go For It and Good Luck !!!!
