Ahhh it feels like I have written this! Fellow covert over here! So I had to present recently to a very senior board at work. It’s all I thought about for weeks. So I feel your pain. As a covert, you won’t want to share that you stutter - I get that, although it does take about 50% of the stress away. I think our problem is we are so scared that people find out that we stammer, more than anything else. Tips: - try and talk so much before your presentation. Really slow down though, it will sound weird, but you won’t stammer and your mouth will be warmed up. - use as many hand gestures as you can. Especially on words you think you might block on - it really helps to get the words out. - pause when speaking. It puts you in control. - open your mouth when speaking. It’s a funny one because you don’t realise how little you actually open your mouth when talking normally and for the love of god it actually works!! You’ve got this. 100%
