Sharing the tee-up I use for bigger presentations at work I opened a presentation at work yesterday with a quick intro and “good news folks. some additional pizzaz I have for you today is my stutter. Hopefully it adds some needed flair to this presentation.” Then transition with “okay enough about me…” and go into the presentation content. Got good laughs (which i was going for) and warm reception by the audience. Just sharing b/c I use a variation of that tee up a lot for bigger work presentations where I don’t want them to be wondering about my speech the whole time (or thinking it’s bc I’m nervous) and it is always well received. I can literally see people visibly relax when I address the elephant in the room.
