I've been in sales 20 years, much of it over the phone, much of it talking to people I don't know or don't know well. The truth, for me, at least, is that I still stutter as much as I did before I sta...

Thanks, like the other poster said, having an IDGAF attitude helps. My self low esteem is pretty low which obviously doesn't help. Stuttering is a complex issue....

What I mean is acceptance. Don't let the stutter define you and control you or your thoughts. I used to really let it define me and I suffered. I think once I stopped letting it bother me it seemed to...

To echo others here, you should never shorten the scope of your career path due to your stutter. Put yourself in a position that is outside your comfort zone. It worked for me, you grow to accept the ...
