That could be true, in Sales you need to talk in a different way and control the conversation. This is not me at all I learned it by the experience. Definitely I can't talk with friends and family in ...

In retail or other sales jobs especially on the phone, you can work on changing the tone and inflection of your voice. So while you may call your friend and just say in a monotone “hey, it’s Pete “...

Speech therapy was a waste of money and time for me. I spent thousands of dollars. Even if you do see progress, it won’t be for a while, so you can get extremely unmotivated. Many actors stutter, in...
