Checking in at 42. I stutter badly in almost every sentence on average. Sometimes I have physical ticks and my frantic word substitution makes the things I do manage to say sound weird. I'm also twice...

Hi, I actually get on ok at work. I work in a small team of software engineers, so I speak to the same people everyday, by now they are used to how I speak, I am honestly amazed sometimes at just ho...

Why do you need to be fluent 100% percent of the time? I still stutter, but so mildly that I don't mind it. I actually browse this sub to look for ideas for Youtube video scripts. I reached this worr...

Do you practice before interviews? What's your routine?

Do you practice before interviews? What's your routine? I have been job hunting for the last 8 months and I get close but just miss opportunities. I spend a lot of time on prep (practicing in the car,...
