Stuttering in the Workplace Hi, I've suffered from a stutter all my life. I say "suffered" because my whole life (34) I've hidden away, kept quiet, and refrained from joining social interactions to the point where I've always been called 'the shy one". "Oh don't mind him, he's just shy". I spent nearly 13 years in an industry I didn't like, where face-to-face interactions were kept to a minimum. However, two years ago I finally had enough and now I've just completed my first year at university studying for a degree in environmental science with the aim of becoming an environmental consultant. So, some questions for my fellow stutterers are... * **How do I do it?** * **How do I overcome the fear that every day in my new career I'll be expected to converse with clients multiple times a day?** * **How do I not feel like I'll be letting my future employers down or failing as a person?**
