I've always seen stuttering as my biggest weakness and so, paradoxically, pursued jobs where communication is key. Worked as a journalist for a year, got promoted to editor, then went corporate in a good PR management position. It's a daily struggle - giving presentations, going into meetings, meeting new people and having light conversations, organising and managing interviews... But it's also given me a huge confidence boost. Fuck letting the stutter - in my case, blocking - dictate what we do!
