Last week a very nice lady from Nottingham attended the three day speech course. She was quite nervous at the start of the first day as is normally the situation. I could tell virtually straight away however that she had a great determination to eradicate her speech impediment once and for all - there was just something about her which meant that I believed she was a battler.
This is exactly what we require - battling qualities, a massive amount of determination with a never say die attitude. There is no quick fix to overcome stuttering - it is instead a fairly long and frustrating journey which includes many battles - battles with our inner demons.
This lady soon relaxed into the course and I have to say that it was a pleasure to coach her - I also look forward to speaking with her regularly in the future.
