Medical student as a stutter

Medical student as a stutter Hey guys..... I wanted some honest opinions. I am a Stutter as long as I remember and I would grade it mild to moderate, depending on the situation. I have tried some the...

Congratulations. The fact that you have decided to give a lecture means that you have already won half the battle. As for the other half, most people are not as bothered by our stutter as we think the...

Yeah, that sucks. But please don't stop going to interviews? I don't know if you have a job already that you don't like or don't have one, but either way, please keep looking? Of course all this ma...

Yes, you say, "you guys might not know this, but I have a speech impediment, it's called stuttering. I can't control it." Usually this puts people in their place. They feel embarrassed for laughing...

Two things before I get into my answer: 1. You're only 17. It's still a young age to get a job. But... 2. At some point you are going to have to go through the job application process. It's natura...

Memorizing usually makes it easier. It's tough to focus on how to say stuff if you run out of stuff to say. Knowing exactly how to begin each slide is especially helpful for 'renewing' fluency. Even t...

I posted this a year or so ago but here is a blog post I wrote on a presentation style that works for me - http://www.joshholtz.com/2015/my-stutter-made-me-a-better-presenter/ It was a pretty informa...

Practice, practice, practice. Stuttering happens. Knowing what to say and how to say it will help. Practice out loud in front of the mirror, practice to a friend, practice to a parent, practice to you...

I only stutter when I'm reading from a script or a set passage of words

I only stutter when I'm reading from a script or a set passage of words Anyone know how i could possibly turn this into my favour? Obviously the dream is to be able to present but without preparation ...

I'm a senior engineer with a small staff and in charge of several projects. I work in remote locations so am always on the phone with our consultants and HR and head office. The phone sucks, email i...

It's not cringy but will damage your professional life if you keep it up. One of the best things you can do as an employee is be a good communicator. Stuttering has nothing to do with this. That sai...

That's awesome! I agree fully. Glad to hear it's going well! I don't have many tips for presentations other than trying to be excited. Nervousness is common amongst all people so I accept being nervo...

Being honest about it helps (with yourself and with others). It really reduces the pressure to be fluent. I stutter and I'm a writer and a manager. I'm doing pretty well for myself. I think being unab...

When do you stutter less and more?

When do you stutter less and more? For me I stutter the most when I'm stressed, introducing myself to new people and when I feel insecure/uncomfortable. Less is when I talk to someone I trust and kn...

The presentation went well, thank you! I did a whole ritual to prepare the day before and the morning before it, and there were no big issues(except the dry mouth, ugh). ...

Practice, practice, practice. Say it out loud in front of the mirror, to your best man, to your dog. Write it down from memory. Just keep practicing. Stuttering happens, being prepared and knowing wha...

Congratulations to you. If you don't have a very severe stutter I would recommend taking your time, and practice breathing exercises leading up to the day. It'll be just the two of you up there so foc...

How old are you? My speech therapist in middle school had me go to the admin office, let them know what I was doing, and told them my favorite vacation trip. I did this to four different people. It wa...

Could you maybe study out loud with someone else in the room? Or have you tried recording your study out loud? Does that make a difference?...

Last semester I had to do a 10 minute presentation for one of my finals. Before this, the last time I ever spoke in front of the whole class was sixth grade, so being in college now, you could say I'm...
