"If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.

Coaching is part of the process that every PWSS must go through in order to master fluency, learn to love speaking in all settings, and improve their self-confidence. Aside from the personal benefits of self-development, it is extremely rewarding to assist others in achieving their dreams and reaching their full potential by providing the necessary tools to manage their speech. I would encourage every PWS to embark on this fulfilling journey.!"
