"These are skills that can be learned."


My story: Many years ago, as a stutterer I was quite sure that being able to speak without stuttering was beyond me. Following a debate one day with a co-worker really upset me because I couldn't get the words out that I wanted to say. It was suggested to me that learning public speaking would help. Huh!! You've got to be kidding; I'd tried art of speech training - didn't do much and I still can't roll my "r's".
