I am a national trainer and I train medical staff (doctors, nurses, social workers, administrators, etc) . I train in auditoriums, conference rooms, and hospitals. I started stuttering at age 5 due to a traumatic fog attack. I had 20 years of speech therapy coupled with hypnosis. I was told for 20 years that I was stupid, was mentally retarded and that I would never ever be anybody. I graduated high school, obtained my AA degree, my BS degree and my MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. To all the people who told me NO, I told myself YES ! I never knew how much I loved teaching. Before every training, I disclose my stutter. If I have a block, I stop, breathe and continue on. You can do this. I know you can do this. SO DO THIS !!
