Hey check out the study by Courtney Byrd on disclosure of stuttering. Basically it says when you disclose, you shouldn't apologize because that will make people view you negatively. So you can say this. Hi my name is X and I stutter so I will need more time to say what I want to say. The study says that when you disclose people view you more positively than if you say nothing or if you apologize for it. It might be hard or weird in the betbut I really really really recommend doing it! I also have a moderate stutter and have done several job interviews and I'm currently employed in consulting
