Sorry for getting back to you late. I had a busy day at work. During the clinical portion of your training, you will have to speak with patients and also to the whole team. We also had an oral exam at...

I’d say the biggest thing is be confident. Even if you aren’t, fake it. Demand respect by looking people in the eye when you talk and if they try to cut you off, politely hold up your hand or indicate...

I think that if someone don't give you respect because you stutter, they neither deserve your respect :) I see my speaking problem as a 'filter': I don't need asshole friends who think stuttering is f...

I think that you should be the first one to accept that you stutter and that it doesn't have to be any problem to develop yourself. I someone makes a joke about your stuttering, wanting to make friend...

If your boss is an understanding person (trust me, most of them are) they will put you at another position in the restuarant where you're more comfortable. I recently got a job at a restuarant chain...

Don't let others bother you man. Just tell them you have a stuttering disability, and they will apologize....

was my line all thru high school!! my hands stutter too!!! Serious until we start letting people know that it is not OK, they will keep doing it.. I hold anybody that giggles at my stutter accountabl...

When people make fun of my stutter, I educate them on stuttering in general and why I stutter. I guess I turn it into a “teachable moment” while also indicating I am not embarrassed by it. I think i...

if your teacher is aware of it it should not be a problem. my teacher came up to me before a exam and said I could be the last in line for the exam. So that I have more time to get my topic/points acr...

I so agree with this so much. Stick with the job. If I was in your position I would try to learn not to care what other people think (I realize that's not easy) and use this as a way to practice manag...

I don’t have what you described, so I might not be the best one to help you with, but I will certainly try! What I do to get over my stutter (which is medium-sometimes severe) is I talk to myself and...

I have gotten the "can I ask you a question?" a lot. I understand that some people can't help themselves and feel the need to talk. The people who are just rude, are annoying. I do appreciate people w...

That Moment

That Moment Have any of you guys ever had someone bring up your stutter in a conversation. It has happened quite a few times to me and it always starts with "No offense" or "I have a question." This i...

Stutterers on TV

Stutterers on TV I was just watching Dragon’s Den (Shark Tank in the USA) and a stutterer was on trying to get an investment. It was pretty clear that he had a stutter as soon as he started talking,...

Did you tell them you stutter? Sometimes self-advocacy helps and starting with that makes people more understanding. Maybe explaining what blocking is? Perhaps starting with approaching people individ...

1. Absolutely awesome that you are advocating for your coworker who stutters! 2. You won't be offensive by asking. If anything you're showing that you care and your their to help. \- a person who stu...

Person with a bad stutter here - I'd be happy if someone broached the topic because what you've described legit sounds like it could be a very stressful experience. I wouldn't ask if they want someone...

It depends on how you ask. ​ If you were to frame it as *"I know you don't like speaking and this will be nerve wracking for you, want me to do it for you?".* You can clearly tell this w...

I would gently push them towards speaking at the conference, but leave a door slightly open to them bailing. Make sure they're comfortable enough and encourage them - if they get over the hump you'll ...

Hoping others will weigh in, but I wouldn't address this with the team member unless the team member has mentioned in the past that they prefer not to speak during client interactions. Everyone has a...
