Having a stutter in the corporate world?
Hello Everyone,
I am currently majoring in finance and having a career in corporate finance has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid. I have a moderate stutter, although it can be severe at times and have been going to speech therapy to improve my fluency for some time now. I wanted to know if anyone has met or currently knows someone who stutters in finance. Any tips, techniques or stories would be helpful as well. thanks, guys.
Hi Prospect in , just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
If you can, for your electives, take a public speaking and interpersonal communication class. The focus of the class would teach you the basics of communications, and will help you in huge amounts if you take into account the lessons.
When you engage others, think first of the words, breathe in a little slower to enunciate the words piece by piece. This will offset the stutter you have, and ease your nervousness (if you get nervous easily).
The old saying goes - think before you speak. This follows the same idea. As you practice and go though therapy, the practice of slowly enunciating the words would play.
You can work on the social queues down the line later on (eye contact, standing straight, etc.) after you get the basics down.
-From a guy who used to stutter quite often when I was younger.
Adding to think before you speak. Its okay to pause. its ok to pause and correct yourself mid stutter. The more confident you are with what you're saying the easier it should be to choose your words and commit to them.
It's really about how people will treat it. "The corporate world" is made of people with their own values and opinions. I worked with a guy with a stutter - I didn't care.
Thank you for the advice, appreciate it!
Thank you so much for sharing! I appreciate it man!
Thanks for sharing! appreciate it man :)
Really interesting my CEO has a stutter. He does really good at managing it since I only actually hear from him during global meetings. Since covid he has been on a daily call with the organization almost everyday. Something like that would give me so much anxiety, but you can tell even with a stutter that his is very intelligent and well spoken. He is deliberate and slow, all types of things you learn how to do when you need to speak publicly often.
Very encouraging to see someone in a top position with a speech impediment. I think from someone having stutter you probably notice it more and may be a harsher critic then anyone else.
