Denise Buchanan

Business Owner & Sales

Toronto, Canada

I’m college educated and I run a sales consultancy in the hospitality industry. I stutter and I also have two kids who stutter. I do lots of presentations! My advice is to be brave and don’t be afraid to tell people about your stutter. Own it!  Be honest instead of hiding. I wish I had this advice as a younger person as I would avoid certain situations at all costs. This behavior, once started, is so hard to change. Be real and honest, educate people. People want to hear what you have to say – Address it with confidence and move on!
