Phones really are the worst thing as there's no visual cues to tell the other person that you're trying to speak if they just hang on a second. The pressure to say something on answering tends to make...

Looking for a mentor

Looking for a mentor Dear friends, So I’ll soon be graduating university and entering the “real world”. I have a summer internship at a big company soon and would love to have someone I can talk to/as...

I introduced myself!

I introduced myself! I just wanted to share a little victory with all of you! I was shopping with my future MIL and ran into one of her former high school friends. I typically depend on people introdu...

well, if they actually do, then i would take it as a very genuine, mature way of building a connection with you. i remember being a young guy and thanking my lucky stars whenever someone would do that...

hey- i would like to help rationalize a few of your (perhaps recent) realizations about when you do and don't stutter, what i've found it's meant for me and my blocking stutter, and then also lend som...

Weekly Wins w/c 10.2.20 I posted about doing this and got some positive responses but then forgot to make a new thread! So here we are at last! Post your victories, big or small, this week and celebr...

having a conversation about it may seem embarrassing or awkward but it will just help to have a better understanding of each other and better communication ! he’ll probably be glad you asked instead o...

i think college is so much better than high school. it’s all first impressions, so a lot of introducing kinda sucks but you can be whoever you want yk? what i do is tell the audience (or even just peo...

You are 100% correct! When I tell them I have a stutter, they apologize and I take that time to educate them so that it doesn't happen for the next time. Also, it shows strength and courage when yo...

People ask me if I forgot my name or just laugh awkwardly all the time, and I know it's just a defense mechanism from feeling uncomfortable more times than not. Just recently, I was on the phone wit...

I let them know that Inhave a speech impediment and that I may have difficulty speaking. Many of the rude customers apologize and some don't, either way, that's their problem not mine....

For me it was owning it. Just telling any person who could become a part of my life or someone who i meed to work with that i stutter. Stuttering doesnt make you less of a man or a human. Its not som...

don't need to disclose it except for a passing comment when you first start to have difficulties. I made some jokes about it in the interview i had for the company im currently working at and it seem...

I do it and it's always worked out well for me because it educates them what you have and what they will possibly see or hear during the interview....

I would mention your stutter early in the interview. Perhaps the first thing. I read in a Larry King book "how to have a conversation" that you should mention your thing at first so that people know w...

I asked the same question to my advisor/conductor of my mock interview in my internship class before graduating undergrad a few years ago. He said that he didn’t think it was necessary, and it shouldn...

I let my stutter disclose itself. The first time I block I'll just say something along the lines of "excuse me a moment, I have a speech impediment". I've never had an interviewer openly have any is...
