Ive had a severe stutter all my life but

Ive had a severe stutter all my life but Recently I got engaged and promoted to project manager for a construction company. I know it’s tough out there and easy to lose hope but don’t let this thing...

I often worry about this too. Out of nowhere, about three months ago, I developed a stutter. I’ve never stuttered in my life until now, it just happened suddenly, almost like I woke up with it. What m...

Job interviews. I'm unemployed cause the last interview I went to, the owner told the manager to tell me I don't have enough confidence for the job. I almost killed myself cause I was getting over thi...

How’s life going for you? I’m someone who stammers and I’ve been wondering how others with the stuttering are doing in life. i am 20 m would be 21 next month . I wanted some tips on how do you handle ...

Totally relate to this. I have messed up so many interviews due to this. Even if I know more than any other candidate in the job interview, there is only 10%(best case) chance that I would be selected...

You bring up a great point. Everyone likes to talk about ‘accessibility’ flexibility for workers. My stutter (which is mild in all honesty) has never been granted any work accommodations for the las...

If you think its OK to say what the name is I might be able to come up with something similar. Yes phone calls are difficult for my husband too so I takecon that role whenever possible. Things are dif...

Thanks for the vote of confidence - do I just preserve through phone calls that need the name?! I think they're my kryptonite....

Wrong people are labelled good communicators in toxic workplaces. Fast speakers just repeating the same points over and over and talking over other people. they should not be considered good communica...

Just like how guys with no good intentions are able to sweet talk their way into getting women. Communication is everything. You could be telling a bold faced lie and people will swallow it just becau...

Maybe you don’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I’d tell someone about her comment. Aside from that being hurtful, it’s just extremely unprofessional to say in the workplace....

Yep its crazy. I was at the job interview for a member of a kitchen staff and soon as I stuttered it was over. My job is to cook the food, not talk to it. I wouldn't even need to talk at this job. Th...

I agree with you. Lee's book and techniques have transformed my life in so many ways. For me it was very hard work over time (multiple hours daily) but it worked out quite well and I have gone from no...

Soft skills 🤪, communication 🤪

Soft skills 🤪, communication 🤪 Like bro, most jobs aren’t even about actual skill anymore. It’s all about how smooth you sound, like you’re supposed to talk like a news anchor. And if anyone says ...

Retail jobs have like stocking and merchandising jobs where you either come in before opening or after closing and stock and fill. I work at Ulta as a tasker and we’re only out on the floor for 2 hour...

I follow him too. Props to him for his drive thru videos… that would be straight up torture for me...

I just turned 25. I have the exact same issue as you. It gets more intense in the more unfimiliar or stressed situation I am. I can see the word in my head but I cannot pronounce it. I try to come u...
