Stuttering and Facilitation with Maya Chupkov - EP 12

In this episode, Beth chats with Maya Chupkov of the Proud Stutter podcast about facilitators who stutter. They talk about how groups might perceive stuttering and what to do about that, strategies that facilitators who stutter might use when working with groups, and the benefits people might experience when working with a facilitator who stutters.

Beth and Maya also explore:

• different types of stutters
• respecting a person's wishes to talk about their stutter or not
• a facilitator's considerations around acknowledging their stutter to a group
• strategies to deal with people's misconceptions around stuttering
• how we encourage verbal diversity and diversity in general in the work of facilitation
