First, congrats on the new job! Clearly you did something right and no one on your team at work cares about your stutter - they hired you after all! Second, yes this blows and I’m sorry to hear it happened. What kind of block? Lips (like on M words) or throat tightening? What works for me is using synonyms for words I know I’m going to stutter on. Some people like that technique and others think it’s a cop-out (to each their own). However, I know there are no synonymns for your name. Just relax and remember as previously mentioned, any decent human isn’t going to give two shits about your stutter. Do you think THEY wanna be the person in the office who is a bully?
