Until an expert answers this question, here are my two cents that might probably help you. Foest of all I would like to acknowledge that that work meetings are not easy tasks in the best of times, because apart from the challenges associated with public speaking they tend to be essentially an examination of your work and expertise. Therefore, suboptimal work meeting can mean suboptimal work or expertise for some, which is obviously not great. I liked a concept in a book I read called 'The art of communicating' by Thich Nhat Hanh, where communication was compared to nourishment. For example, when you are speaking you are basically providing nourishment to the minds of the audience. Based on this concept I would suggest following few tips to "nourish" the audience i.e. convey thoughts clearly, while dealing with the limilations of stuttering. 1. Show the menu and be patient Introduce the topic up front and take your time with it. Don't rush. 2. Follow a recipe This is to train the audience in knowing what to expect next. Maybe a pattern called 'And-But-Therefore' could be helpful in this regards. 'And' to connect with previous topic. 'But' to provide tour take on the topic and 'Therefore' to conclude. 3. Ask for a dessert (this analogy is a stretch but please bear with me :) ) Get a feedback to check what you said made sense to the audience, by saying for example, "I hope that was clear". Also get the sense of the room that something you said was not clear and repeat by rephrasing. 4. Decorations and presentation Visual learning can be more effective than verbal one, especially when conveying complex ideas. Examples: slides, hand-made drawing or could as basic as even be hand gestures. I hope at least some of these points could be helpful to you.
