SAME STRUGGLES. A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

I know what you’re going through because I lived through it too. I’ve been there—avoiding phone calls, ordering what I could say instead of what I wanted, feeling judged, and hating the sound of my own voice. This book is the real story of how I went from a guy who stuttered to a guy who used to stutter.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s what worked for me.

And you can too!

CRAIG COFFEE

I’m just a regular guy who decided to do the work. Today I help people who stutter around the world because I’ve been where you are and I’m on this side of it.

Let me guide you because I’ve done it.

Real People. Real Change.

19The once-a-day challenge

THE PRACTICE IN REAL LIFE

What I advise, what I suggest, what worked for me in my life, was speaking to one stranger a day. Someone who worked in a store or something. I would go up and engage them with a question.
