Alter ego helps me, see yourself as a the main characters in movies when they always know how to captivate the room, I always used real actors as a big inspiration to my confidence, become an actor when you’re up there, feel excited instead of anxious to speak to the crowd, smile, talk with light heartedness. I was literally forced into a meeting at work last week, had to introduce myself and come up with my opinions on matters I wasn’t concerned about on the fly, (I stutter on my own name notoriously so I went in knowing I’d have to face a challenge instantly) but i got up and did it with excitement of having the chance to take on my speech problem yet again; Stuttering is as we all know immensely psychological, use it to your advantage.
