- What do you do to help someone who stutters? You focus on stopping the stuttering. Right! You could. But what if there was another way. Paul Gaskin wants to start a stuttering revolution to do just that!
Paul Gaskin is a senior global HR leader who has stuttered
all his life. Drawing on his personal and career experiences,
Paul has written a self-help book A Stuttering Revolution.
Don’t Fix your stutter, fix your life (published November
2023), to help anyone who stutters to create, live and love
the life they really want. One step at a time This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
great talk, I have a very bad stutter. I has greatly impacted my life on every level, as I research and think introspectively more into stuttering it does seem like its linked to ones self image. I remember my stutter being at its worst around 12-13 when I was first told that I stutter.... before that moment I didnt stutter in my mind
Great talk, Paul. I went through everything you described. Only when you accept that the stutter is a part of you, you don’t care what other people think about your stutter and you spend more energy on what you want to say instead of how people will receive it, the magic begins.
Amazing! I’m speechless.
I’m a 33yo man who finally decided to finally follow my dreams and go back to university and finish what I left because of my stutter.
Stutter will not define me anymore, I want to prove to myself and the people who love me what I’m capable of.
I’m looking forward to this next chapter of my life, can’t wait to begin.
Great sir really inspired and get Motivated from your words me as a 18th year Stuttering persons but Stuttering can't Stop us From reaching Our Goals God Is Kind And Gives us that Fighting spirit that only some of few persons are getting It's always you vs you
All the Best for you, its never top late. I did it at age 28 and it all worked out well with a Family and good job today. Things which where impossible to imagine before.
Best of luck bro
Thank you for this talk Paul. I think as stutterers it's an opportunity for us to work towards being the best versions of ourselves that we can be. Rather than seeing it as a handicap we can see it as something that pushes us to build the life we want to live, as you pointed out. Thanks again. Lets bring about a revolution!
As a stutterer, I can completely relate to his message here. I noticed from a young age that the less I thought and worried about stuttering, the more fluently I spoke and vice versa. It’s all about ones comfortability being their genuine self and owning it
I managed to fix my stutter & life thanks to Lee Lovetts’ book entitled “How to Stop Stuttering & Love Speaking”.
I haven't read that book I will check it out, thank you. My book A Stuttering Revolution. Don't fix your stutter, fix your life, will be published in November 2023. It's a self-help book, I'm really hoping people who stutter find it useful.
@@PaulGaskin-zt2vdI'm watching this because I'm really being traumatised by my stutter. I hope your book will be available in electronic format
@@sekousmiley9765 Hi it will be available in electronic format - i can relate to what you say - and i hope the book helps
Just sing, we can't stutter while singing. Just think like when you are singing.
Me too
Well done Uncle Paul. Amazing speech. I’m proud of you
Thank you Paul Gaskin for your advices. I will be a great and popular person despite my stammer. Bless you Paul Gaskin.
It is 100% possible to overcome stuttering. Doesn't mean 100% fluency, but honestly, no one is. Iv done it, my best friend did it and so have millions of other people. Once you understand it not about fixing the stuttering it makes sense.
Wow! Powerful, passionate and inspiring. I was very lucky to work with you Paul, you’re an amazing leader.
for sure!
Thank you i really appreciate your kind words.
Being a University student, Stuttering is my biggest impediment to introduce myself to everyone.
you can do it!
This is often the biggest challenge for many people who stutter - it was for me in school, college, job interviews and presentations. But you're more than your stutter! find a way to push through people will give you time and space. if they dont they are not worth speaking to anyway or they're just embarrassed themselves. You're worth listening to. Believe!!
@@PaulGaskin-zt2vd Thank you for the inspiration.
this really helps me
Brilliant - that's my aim. I just want to help people believe they do not have to be held back by their stutter, you are so much more.
SUCH a powerful talk - thank you Paul!
Thank you Alison, you gave me the ideas that I cultivated for the Talk - i really appreciate your skill and kindness.
Well done, my good man
Thank you i really appreciate your comment.
Brilliant, life changing talk! Thank you Paul.
My pleasure - good luck with whatever you're choosing to do!
Hey Paul .. great talk .. how have you been..
I am 41, stuttering every day, but that extremely severe. I used to work in a SOE company in China while translating some books of art and literature. In 2023, I quitted my job. My passion of translation and interpreting drove me to study overseas in Sydney. Here, I dare to say I want to be a conference interpreter for the first to public. How could you think about that a man with stuttering wants to be professional living by speaking. Simultaneous interpreting is super hard. But I found that long consecutive interpreting is even harder for me. Today is perhaps the most difficult day for me recently because I stuttered so badly in a long consecutive interpreting exam. I almost lose faith. Back to several years ago, I drew aspirations from my favourite movie actress Emily Blunt to make my mind to be an interpreter. So I look for encouragement and energy here to go forward tomorrow. I don't know what will be like in the future. But I will try even it is daunting task though.
* not that severe
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I have found from my research, that stuttering is caused by a traumatic event, between the ages of 2-7. the cause is anything from a dog barking in a child's face, to a child seeing some one get shot! this is the spectrum that I have worked with. So when you put someone into hypnosis you go back to the first time they started to stutter. The subconious remembers everything. Then we do forgiveness and let the memory go from the body. Now when you understand how the mind and body work together, you can go back to the memory, and there is no more emotion attached,. that is when the stutter lets go. And becomes the cure. Good luck in the future. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you for you time.
Hello, and what about someone who starts stuttering at the age of 10 ?
Hey do you have an Instagram account? I want to talk to you more about it as I have faced similar situation to yours. 😊
I stutter for almost 23 years of my life but with right techniques and practices it is cured now!!
What did you do about it plz tell me that
It would helpful if you could share your techniques!
That sounds like you have put a lot of hard work into improving your fluency. Good for you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Would you mind charging the techniques?
Leaving this comment for people who struggle with stuttering. I am 17 and I still have the same problem and I am trying very hard to overcome it, there's this one comment I read is that if you started stuttering because of a traumatic event, your subconscious mind still has that in it, so you must go back to the point where you started stuttering and let go of things. 😊
No one speaks with 100% fluency, also what matters is what is being said not how.
Hi! Sometimes I still stutter, but not a lot. I have learn to speak slowly and it do work.
how??
Hi Paul, great speech! I can relate to what you're saying. I stutter all the time on my own name and it's so embarrassing. I have also had people tell me that they didn't notice that i stutter when i tell them that I have a stutter so i hate talking on the phone etc. Like you i try and cover it up with choosing words i know I'll be okay with and won't stutter on. The only problem is when i can't substitute the word, like saying my name! 😭😭 some words i will be fine with in one sentence then stutter on it the next sentence. Some words I'll be fine with for 6 months then all of a sudden i'll start stuttering on them. It's very frustrating. And embarrassing when people laugh. ahh well. We'll get there in the end. It feels better that I'm not alone bc I've only met 2 other stutterers.
Don't take any notice of anyone who ever laughs at your stuttering.These people are mentally sick on their head.
Nobody understand pain that we are going through on daily basis.
This is great. I have prayed to God to take away my son and mine stutttering, God lead me to this TED.
Bless you. You are both so much more than our stutter. Find what you're passionate about and be your best you!
Why would he take it away if he gave it to you?
This stuttering is very painful 😭 Who wants this to be end and speak free like normal people.
I ONCE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THE MEDICINE BUSPIRONE WAS VERY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING IT AND I THINK THAT IT'S A GREATLY UNDERRATED MEDICINE AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM SHOULD GO TO THEIR DOCTOR AND GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR IT!!
The only way my life will be fixed is when I cure my stutter.
Hi it can feel that way at times. But I know from my personal experience and that of many others, you are so much more than your stutter, work on the other bits - look for role models and keep the faith. you can be whatever you want to be. Focus on what you're passionate about, what you're already good at. Set yourself small goals and take actions. you will surprise yourself. Good luck.
How did he overcome his stutter?
You missed it, rewatch the video until you get it.
@@outlaw565 😂😂😂. He is a fake stutterer. Stutterers dont talk like that. And don't claim what you are not.
Hi I didn't i still stutter today. this was one of the only times during 6 months of going through the TEDx process that i didn't get a block. But if you listen carefully you can see when i nearly get a block. I also worked really hard to start each sentence with words i knew i have more chance of saying. And i rehearsed for weeks and weeks so i could get them out without thinking about them. I had a mini panic just before the Talk and one of the team really helped me get my head in the right place. I push on - whatever!!
Please add Hindi subtitle for your video
Hi I will find out as a don't know how to do that. I lived in India for 3 years and would love to find a way to convert the talk into Hindi and help as many people as I can.
@@PaulGaskin-zt2vd Great initiative Man best wishes for you Just stick to your path
"STOP STUTTERING SHORT COURSE: HOW TO BREAK THE STUTTERING CODE "
by Lee G. Lovett HOW I CAN FIND THIS E-BOOK FOR FREE? PLEASE HELP !!!!
i have "STUTTERING & ANXIETY SELF-CURES" for lee g .lovett , send me if you want it
never heard one word he stuttered in the speech.
😂😂😂😂. He is not a stutterer. He is lying.
@@emmanuelameyaw9735 Not really.He has recovered
Hi some people said that on the night. It was one of the only times during the 6 month process I didn't get a block. Especially on the line about Kate Middleton visiting Liverpool that became a real stumbling sentence. if you look carefully you can see the times when i am getting near to a stutter and I don't often breathe, so its always close. I don't know about your stutter but mine is very unpredictable. My wife doesn't understand why at 60 years of age I stutter when ordering a drink at the bar, or food from a waitress. we all do it differently. Thank you for your comment believe me i still stutter.
I stutter all my life i leave an uncomfortable life because of this
Go do yourself!
This is motivating and all, but as a stutterer, I learned nothing from this talk.
Search "Lee Lovett". Thank me later :)
I appreciate that not everyone will get something from my perspective on stuttering. It is after all only my perspective, you will have your own. My only point is that many people feel held back by their stutter. I don't think they have to be. That's the Revolution. It's not a talk about how to cure a stutter. sometimes you can't. so do something different. thank you for your comment i really appreciate you have taken the time to listen to the talk.
i dont believe this. nothing to lear from you because you never stutter at all
When stutterers don't stutter, they are fake stutterers. You can't speak like that and call yourself a stutterer.😂. Invite someone with a real stutter, not this guy who has no stutter.
why you are getting so emotional about that? I saw you replied to many
Lol what is your problem? There's a video of him on a podcast yesterday where he stutters a few times
Hi thank you for your comment - please see some of the answers above.
Life long stutter here.... WTF is this?... not the magic people pill 💊 people. PS~ he still stutters ❓.
Stuttering is extremely complex. Please don't comment on something you don't understand. Severity depends on people, situations and alot of other factors. You could be speaking fluently one morning and then get triggered to stutter in a conversation in the afternoon. Please research next time
Haha....... This man have gotten old but didn't understand the reality, This just a BS motivational speech.
My best Advice as a stutter:
1-) You can't fix it, It's incurable.
2-) Don't follow your passion until you have lots of money but choose a work or job in which your work or job won't depend on your speaking.
3-) Besides your main job or work do whatever you want do it might be your passion as well.
Hope this will help because except these 3 things there is no other way to deal with this lameness but if you find let me know in reply.
I agree - for many it's incurable, so focus on what you're good at, what you're passionate about and you can live the life you really want rather than being held back by your stutter. I appreciate you think it was a motivational speech thank you.
😂 how about you just speak for and keep your negativity to yourself! All the best, mate! 😉
@@BopToDaRealHipHop Thank u sir
You obviously are not a stutterer and didn’t understand the message of this talk. Also your 3 suggestions are useless. Please go back to your 3 subscribers!
@@hansguenther6992 thank u very much sir♥️
