This was a message that was sent to me yesterday. First happy tears came to my eyes, then such a big smile that I thought people were going to think I was even loopier than usual.
I just couldn’t take the smile off my face. So I must share!
Hi Pam ,
Can I just say that through your positive attitude with stuttering , I took a leaf from your book and voluntarily stuttered (for the first time ever, instead of avoidance) just a little at the beginning of my interview. I added that I only mildy stutter, and that it increases when in a stressful situation. It has never impacted on my ability to do my job. This was accepted well and even with my practical activity with the children, it was OK.
I got the job and I feel fantastic and also true to myself for one of the first times in my life.
THANK YOU !!!!
Is this great or what? It makes a difference when we share our experiences with each other. It really does!
This was the best post I could make today – now I will go into my big stage event tonight with a smile in my heart as well as on my face!

Make Room For The Stuttering

This is great Pam. You have impacted me in the same way because for all my life I have been trying to be stutter free and as we all know, that is not possible.
I am job hunting and I hope to have some interviews coming. Everytime I job hunt I become a bag of nerves and start crumbling, thinking that I will mess up my interviews and never get the job.
Thanks to you, this time I am going into them more confident. I plan to be myself and so what if I stutter, at least my prospective interview will know this about me before I get the job.
I am learning to be comfortable with, ‘sometimes I just stutter’.
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
