commentr/StutterMay 1, 2019

Content

I work in commercial insurance sales and have struggled with my stutter since before I started in this profession. Before this I sold cars and before that worked in general retail sales and customer service. Some days are worse than others. At moments you are comfortable in your own skin and sometimes not. I also have anxiety about my stutter but I just get up and do it every day. I have stutter situations every day but that’s just who I am. When I talk with clients it’s about them and not me and I’m there to help them and they know that. Just like how you will show others empathy, they too will show empathy to you. It’s often times we who are hardest on ourselves.
