Well done! Congrats on facing your fears and your positive attitude - remember, presentations don't have to go perfectly for them to still be awesome. You mentioned that even though you stuttered, it wasn't a big deal - one factor for this may have been your high level of confidence going into the presentation. IMO, that's crucial. I learned through Toast Masters that it is believed that 70% of communication is through body language (confidence is key here), 23% is voice tone/inflection (confidence plays a role here too) and only about 7% is spoken words. If you're looking to practice public speaking in controlled environments, there are many other public speaking groups and they're all good and overwhelmingly positive - I had success with Toast Masters because after a speech, the personal feedback I would receive would be on things I could control and not the stutter itself. It would be something like this: *"your message would be so much more impactful if you try to unclench the hands throughout the speech. Also, if you could try to raise your chin a bit more, this could allow your voice to sound more fuller and project better throughout the room. Great eye contact throughout and I've noticed such an improvement on your effective use of pauses since your earlier speeches - well done and we all can't wait for your next fascinating speech!"*.
