Realising that people who are worth speaking to will be more interested in what you have to say than how you say it. I realised this only recently. I know it sounds cringe and cliche but it really i...

I think you should be honest with your examiner. Unless your master's is going to require fluent speech, it shouldn't matter to your career. What is your master’s degree? I spent my life avoiding my ...
