I mention it when a stutter happens and also make sure I include situations where I’ve spoken in previous workplaces to back myself up when I say my speech never got in the way of my performance. It...

I cringe when I hear that too… if anything, it’s a reminder that no one is 100% fluent. Usually, when someone says it, they’re just trying to save face quickly. It’s good they have a way to move past ...

Good advice would learn body hacking. Learn how ur body works and what u feel right before u stutter. Most of us can feel it. You gotta stop doing the same things when struggling to get a word out cau...
