People here have already given excellent advice but my additional two cents (33yo engineer here) 1) practice your presentations and morning updates 2) be transparent about your disability/limitation 3) always assume positive intent. People around you are professionals with many invisible issues of their own, this won't be like highschool with people being mean about your weaknesses 4) if you work in a big corporation in the US (maybe other countries) they will have a disability awareness month in October. If you feel brave, share your journey with the company/team. You will probably encourage other stutters to also be bold and take up space. Once you've kept at it for a few years, with confidence and practice this will be easier. You will still stutter but what you say will become way more important than how you say at that point. You've got this. Good luck!
