”Welcome, Marion !
\nI am Laurent, from France.<\/p>\n
Panicking at the thought at having to speak in public was a part of my life.<\/p>\n And then one day, I decided that things couldn\u2019t continue like that. I had to do a presentation for a small audience and the president of the bank where I worked.<\/p>\n I was so sick at the thought of it that I said to my wife that I was going to ask my boss to replace me. It would be best to accept that I wasn\u2019t made for it and leave someone else to take my place.<\/p>\n But I realized that I would be much worse if I avoided the problem. I would undermine my confidence in my ability to speak and the next time I needed to do it the stress would certainly be worse. So I said to myself that I must defuse the situation:<\/p>\n most of the people who would be present knew that I sometimes had elocution problems. I should accept it, even if it meant that I had to joke about it or take a break if it really came to the worst. That was only the beginning of a great adventure. It hasn\u2019t always been easy, but that decision was the basis of the enormous progress I have since made.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Working on public speaking has been a giant leap in my walk on the lunar surface of stuttering.<\/span><\/p>\n Nowadays I regularly do presentations at work and I have also been invited to lecture at conferences on stuttering. Previously, faced with these gatherings \u2013 in places such as amphitheaters and congress halls \u2013 I would have run a mile.<\/span><\/p>\n In my book, I wrote a whole chapter on public speaking with 9 tips who could help you :<\/p>\n Prepare yourself<\/p>\n Be concise : less is better !<\/p>\n Practice<\/p>\n Prepare to stutter<\/p>\n Work on your posture<\/p>\n Smile<\/p>\n Make them laugh !<\/p>\n Slow down<\/p>\n Practice !

\nAs a result I decided to face up to the situation and do everything possible to make things go smoothly.<\/p>\n
