Hi Kevin, In your article, you spoke about how when confidence grows, speech fluency increases. You also stated that relaxation helps a person to not avoid speaking situations, and decreases disfluency. What kind of situations helped you in becoming more confident as a speaker? Also, are there specific mechanisms that you personally use to help relieve stress and keep yourself relaxed before and during speech?
