I have to present slides over zoom and I have to do 5 conferences a year where I stand at a booth and promote our company. 1. I never disclose my stutter. I’m trying to make money. 2. I try for the life of me to be relaxed, confident, and fluent 3. I practice year round, every hour on my fluency by reading aloud and positive affirmations 4. I memorize synonyms for all difficult “work” words that I block on. That way I have an arsenal of work arounds when I block. 5. I have grown talented at listening and asking questions. People LOVE to talk about themselves. I keep the speaking ball in their court. 6. I never disclose my stutter. I don’t believe in that.
