Hello Ms. Jaksic! I had a question for you. Like you, my father began stuttering due to a trautic event. He has struggled over the years, especially being from another country and speaking English with an accent. Stuttering, combined with his accent impedes his confidence when talking to others and giving professional presentations. He is an extremely intelligent man and is the best at what he does. It saddens me that others look past that and focus on his stuttering. I was wondering what strategies you use for public speaking that may be helpful for him as well? Thanks!
