Yeah I think rehearsing it down where it's like saying the abc's would make it so much easier, at least it did for me. But presentations are just an animal on it's own entirely, it's something that s...

The presentation was split and I had only one slide. I prepared a text to read from and I was trying to prepare by only reading before the presentation and when I tried to explain by only remembering ...

Ah reading! I remember I used to stutter when having to read in school. As I read, I'd definitely hit speech blocks but when I memorized something and had it down in my head, I never stuttered! I d...

The presentation is fascinating because when I had to work as a "marshal" at a laser tag job, I had to rehearse what to tell everyone on how to play. I'd be on this little stage in a black lit room w...

That part is funny because I had very little time to prepare, I was anxious and I couldn't prepare properly. So I prepared texts which I just have to read. No space for spontaneity....

It works. Practice, practice. Try this exercise for me. Read aloud at least an hour every morning for 2 weeks. Anything during the day that you read, read out loud ,without disturbing others, so your ...

If I had a quarter for every time this happened, I would own all the stock in Apple. First of all, we've all been through this and you are not alone. Second, it's great that there was someone there ...

Thanks. I will try repeating what actors say. I read about another technique on here, reading for an hour out loud each day. I am going to give that a go as well....

Balancing between over preparing and under preparing

Balancing between over preparing and under preparing Hey guys, I have a problem that I am unable to figure out how to navigate. At work during calls when I have to give a presentation or lead a meetin...

Not in day to day conversation, just whenever I need to say my name. It works roughly 75% of the time, which I'll take all day long. As an example, I used to use this method a lot in college. At the...

Do you bring you that you stutter during the interview? What does your pre-interview ritual look like?...

I did McGuire over 20 years ago, just before Anne Blight had a disagreement with Dave McGuire and went off to form Starfish. The main focus is taking large breaths, like you do when exercising or sin...

There’s nothing wrong with being quiet and if you stay with your boyfriend you’ll have to deal with them eventually. It may sound weird but I’ve found positive affirmation to be very effective. If y...

Stutterers in high-power jobs?

Stutterers in high-power jobs? Hey I’m a second year in university, trying to sort out internships for next summer and trying to decide what kind of career path I want to go down. I study languages (h...

I used to have a bad stutter and I still stutter now, it’s just not nearly as bad. What I did was a. Get speech therapy which kinda helped but not really and b. Put myself into situations that would b...

I’ve got my MBA, and oral presentations were pretty intense for me. I bombed my first presentation because while I was confident in the material, my nerves sent my stutter into overdrive. So I adapted...

Hello guys! I love telling stories to my friends and despite my stutter I’ve found a few ways to manage such a lengthy, focused, situation. 1) Really knowing your story before you tell it! It may se...

I got my mba about 6 years ago from a large public state university. It was mostly online with some in person components. We partnered up in small teams (5-6 people) that we were with through almost t...

Thank you! A career advisor at my school gave me that tip, so I can't take credit. It's helped on over a dozen job interviews and countless meetings. Some days it doesn't help at all, but it's worth ...

I’m someone who has presented a capstone project a while ago. I don’t know how you’d be able to spoof zoom but.... I recommend writing a word for word script for the presentation and practicing it al...
