When I was younger it was hard. I didn’t want to openly talk about it and always hated on myself when I stuttered. I found that once I got into a job, I did so well that no one cares. Now that I’m old...

The less you stress about your stutter the easier it gets. Which I fully understand is easier said than done. I’m a c level employee who is on the phone most of the day, talking to clients, investors,...

People who say it’s cute are saying it because, they don’t really know what to say. Especially if they don’t know before hand. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. If you’re meeting online first, I’d squeez...

I don't unless someone asks. I usually can do OK unless I'm talking to someone close to me or I'm nervous and most people can figure it out on their own. Sometimes when it's really bad then I explain ...
