I'm a little late to the thread but as a freshman this year I signed up for a public speaking class. We meet twice a week. The first time being in a 250 student lecture hall. The second time we meet i...

That's a good point! A similar sentiment was shared on the latest StutterTalk podcast episode. I did Toastmasters for a short bit of time, and I would get physically ill before going ... I ended up de...

I Remember doing a job interview, it was a group interview and there was another candidate next to me. Stammered a couple words and interviewer was like... "Thank you for your time" Thrn the intervi...

Just know you are not alone. There have been plenty of times where I could barely get through saying my name, let alone the presentation. Have you ever thought of taking a public speaking class? It ...

People will remember you! I am not joking nor mean that in a negative way. I had to give a presentation to our VPs. I am so far removed from being a VP so already nervous and stuttered horribly th...

Congrats! So happy you've excelled, it's tough as it is. What specialties are you looking at? Radiology for example has less patient interaction while oncology you often deal with family members just ...

Your not alone buddy! Treat your self with an icecream and enjoy the sugery goodness. Practice makes perfect. That's all it is. Ask your teachers if you can give presentations in smaller groups, or j...

Thanks mate that really helps! In medical school and now in clinical practice I have to give lots of mini presentation and after each one I feel like absolutely shit!...

Your 13 and using better grammar then most adults. I've had auditoriums laugh at me, just keep talking eventually they will shut up and realize what your saying is more important then how you say it. ...

Glad to hear that it went well! Its actually a bit strange, but I was imagining this scenario in my head a couple of weeks ago and how terrified I would be. Did you start off the speech with a joke?...

Seriously, if you want any tips, I'm happy to share my experience. There were things that really helped. My absolute number one is to speak for something else a month or two prior to the wedding. I ...

Just found out I'm best man for a wedding next July and this is exactly what I have been thinking about. I'm glad to hear it all went well for you!! Hopefully I'll have your same confidence when the t...

Thanks for asking and it went really, really well! Apparently I sounded super confident throughout. The whole thing was a bit of a blurred experience of just using bullet points and muscle memory to g...

I've been reading bible verses in church in front of the congregation for about 2 years now and I get butterflies anytime I go up to read. I thought by now I'd have it under control but I don't. It's...

Best way is give more presentations, until you get it right. Don't back off and feel depressed. Head on thru and face your fears. The first 3 times will be scary, sweaty and nerve raking. But i guara...

I am proud that I haven't let my stuttering stop me. Public speaking, i still do it. General chit-chat with coworkers, yup still do that. Being a husband/father for my wife and children makes me even ...

I'm glad you found something that you enjoy. Public speaking gives me crazy anxiety, yet for some reason I became an engineer....

Yes. Maybe I'm the only one, but it is a part of me and made me into who I am today. Don't get me wrong, I have never really accepted my stutter and hate 'doing' it, but I like the person I am and the...

It's funny we talk about icebreakers because I actually had to lead them close to 2 weeks ago. I'm a Senior leader who is responsible for some freshmen and we had to do these "icebreakers" to get the ...

Scared to fail
