Ideas for my first Toastmasters speech about stuttering After taking the big step of joining my local Toastmasters group, I am now preparing my first speech, which is called The Icebreaker. I want to talk about situations in which I struggle to talk and other anecdotic facts. My main idea is speaking about the bad time I have every time I order food on a restaurant, often ordering stuff I don't like just because it's easier to pronounce, my hate for small talk with neighbours in the elevator and my speaking fluency when drunk, which led me to meet my gf. Do you have any suggestion? Another curious situation or story about stuttering? Thanks guys ! :)
