Hello Steve,
Do you own a copy of John Harrisons book. "How to conquer your fears of speaking before people" I believe he distributes in PDF at a small fee. BUY IT. and turn it into a hard copy.
I once told myself, when I get out of stuttering I'm going to write a book so others can follow me. Then I thought maybe its already been done. It has, John Harrisons book is that book.
Unfortunately, its not a do this and tomorrow you will not stutter. It is a, keep on doing this over and over and over. Day after day, month after month , year after year. I suggest you keep a diary to keep track of your progress. And you need to read between the lines, certain you just can't say to motivate someone.
The advice I gave you will assist for your next speech, but it won't help you in the longer term. You need to get out of your comfort zone to make progress. Its a chicken and egg situation but its more egg for the first 2-3 years. You need to do it with a stutter before your body will even allow you to do it without a stutter.
If you are not sure what your comfort zones are?? If you don't want to do it, then its outside your comfort zone. But don't go into a situation thinking I'm outside my comfort zone I'm going to stutter. Instead think its my stutter telling me I don't want to do this, when actually I can.
In a nutshell your stutter is to protect your sub-conscious, either it gets protected by a stutter, technique or a audio-feedback device. You mind will use them as shields, with the stutter being the strongest of them all. If your sub-conscious thinks that a technique is able to protect you in a certain situation. It will use that shield. If the situation gets too tough it will revert back to the stutter for its shield. You don't have a choice in the matter.
You need to change your belief that you don't need protecting in the first place.
Regards,
Max Stringer.
