> I treat all speaking engagements I have as if they were serious. Before the meeting, make a quick outline, list or notes highlighting the key discussion points. Give it as much structure as possible. For me I rarely stutter when I have to read out out from written notes. I do this too, mainly because I can plan on avoiding sounds that I know I'll have trouble with. Every time I plan on engaging in conversation I think briefly of replacements for what I know I'll stutter on.
