Manager being inconsiderate

Manager being inconsiderate I am in very technical role and for most of my career, I stayed with technical roles so that I don’t have to present or facilitate groups that much. I am in my current role...

Learn to love yourself. Be that torch in the windstorm, never give in. Find your copes, your cheats, take a breath, gather your synonyms and thoughts, move forward and enjoy it. I went from fear o...

So being grateful that you can express yourself vocabulary is an u healthy mindset? I have been around enough people who can't and that sucks much more than just a stutter. I actually got compliment...

It is and it isn't. I have one and some days are bad and some days it barely occurs. I realized it is what it is. If I stutter, I stutter. The self-consciousness is the worst part. I've been lucky en...

I often forget I have it. Don't notice it myself unless I am nervous, stressed out or tired. I don't let it dictate my life. It is part of me. Is it annoying af sometimes? Yes. But I am glad that I am...

That's how I'd usually work. Work mode saves the day but sometimes, like the psst few days, it doesn't work and I do feel insecure and a little panicked and rushed but I have no logical reason to be a...

I was in debate/speech in high school and did what I could in the allotted time. I won many awards and I believed in my ability but I did have challenges but my team and coach were very supportive. ...

I believe I stutter less during the calls at work but I do have bad days. The last two days of work, I've stuttered uncontrollably, I've obviously been speaking to fast or so but my mouth has been so ...

Kudos for woking in a call centre as a stutterer, I imagine it helps keep the stutter at bay....

I stuttered and in my class I ranked 234 out of 234. And for all those curious as an adult I’m doing just fine. Married with kids and just bought a new house. So I guess I debunked the theory of a t...

Agreed, and it usually affects my speech. In my call centre, it's common ill get a dry mouth, blocked nose or congested throat and I don't know if it's coincidence, due to the fact I speak all day fo...

I've always wanted to do this, I just could never find a reason to call random numbers. And I don't think I could handle a job in which I was forced to do it. Needless to say, it's incredible that y...

"It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Even if it takes you 100 interviews before you finally get comfortable, then you better start booki...

Your experience isn't universal, but god I wish it was! I have big problems with executive function but I find when I actually manage to do things I find I'm a quick learner and a good problem solver....

Cold Calling!

Cold Calling! My stuttering worsened during my college years. After graduating from college, I had joined a media company as a junior executive. It was a decent job but the only part I used to hate wa...

I can attest to the wide ranging vocabulary. I'm a trial attorney, and the extra words have enabled me to overcome a lot of disfluency....

I work in a call centre and while it isn't everyday, I can have perfect days with little to no stuttering but by the end of the day, I start getting sloppy and then I get panicked and nothing I do sto...

I used to avoid a lot of speaking opportunities. If I can go back in time to when I was in college, I would not avoid my introduction, because avoiding that made me more scared of presenting in front ...

I am the same. There is more to it then that but I pushed myself into the shark pit and got a job in a call centre. I can get over 100 calls per hour, and as little as roughly 47 if its quiet enough b...
