I'm a CyberSecurity Solution Architect / Engineer and I have a mild stutter. My role involves attending daily project stand up meetings which are sometimes face to face, and sometimes via phone conference. I get through them OK, but I try to minimise what I say. Some people love to ramble on and on, but I like to keep it short and sweet to minimise chances of blocking. My colleagues and managers know I stutter. Doesn't seem to phase them at all. I make it a point of disclosing my stutter before job interviews as well. Helps reduce anxiety. I'm taking Vitamin B1 these days and it's helping with anxiety, and therefore improving confidence and fluency somewhat. Good luck all.
