Dr. Van Riper is to speech therapy what Einstein is to physics. His wisdom . . . authenticity, fear reduction, resilience . . . applies in sales, leadership, and beyond.
The Van Riper Tapes (available free through the Stuttering Foundation) remind us: stuttering doesn’t hold you back in business. In fact, it can shape you into a communicator who is authentic, resilient, and impossible to forget.
Watch the tapes. Learn. Apply them to your work. And remember: you don’t need perfect speech to succeed . . . you just need your voice.
