I am so sorry you are dealing with this... I advise that you tell people on the phone that you stutter so they don't think anything else is going on. It may help you to know that they are expecting it...

It will be very difficult but when you get up to present just tell the audience, “you may not know me as someone that stutters but I’ve been stuttering lately and may stutter a little bit in this pres...

I can't agree more on all you illustrated to me cuz they are also haunting in my mind! But now I'm not shy and speaking quiet, instead, I'm now speaking with a powerful and encouraging voice and some ...

I usually say, pardon my stutter and then I go right into whatever I was saying. I actually don't want them to respond to that statement. I want them to think that I think it is so normal that I "skip...

For me its been all about confidence and owning my stutter. I began a job this year where I have to talk over a radio and broadcast my voice to literally thousands of people. Is it pretty? No. Do I s...

If your place of employment considers stuttering to be "unprofessional" then that's ableism, it's as simple as that. Whether or not stammering is a disability is up for debate and opinions vary from ...

For me I actively like it when people help Me out. I tell people who are closest to me that if they know what I’m going to say just say it. It stops the agony of stuttering and I just find it easier f...

Yeah in that case I would definitely politely ask them to let you finish and while it's about both respect and to help you, I would mention the latter as the reason since it will go over better with t...

It really depends on the person, situation, and if the person knows you stutter or not and how often they do it. If it's once or twice that's fine. People even do that to other people who don't stutte...

Yes. I'm seasoned enough in the field enough to interview other engineers. I would say I've given at least 20 or so interviews (Probably more). It's actually not that bad cause I just ask questions an...

Here's what I would do (and have done). 1. Write a letter of resignation. This provides a formal record of termination of contract (if you have one). The least it needs is your last day of work. Y...
