Brian Sellers' First Day & Public Speech videos from his first course at the McGuire Programme, an organisation run by stutterers, for stutterers - where stutterers help each other to speak with more confidence and eloquence.
These two videos were taken just three days apart. While his speech was much improved by the third day, the McGP's ongoing free support - and his continued hard work - have been instrumental in helping him to attain a level of control over his speech that he never thought possible.
The intro to this video also gives an example of Brian's speech now, and two years later. Brian is still work on his speech every single day, and is really excited about what the future holds.
QUOTE BRIAN SELLERS "The McGuire Programme has been truly life-changing for me, and I'll be happy to give anyone who is interested more information about it if they are interested. Thanks very much, and I hope you enjoy!"
For people who stutter, too often we approach our lives' biggest (and smallest) hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, & leave them with regret. Change your approach & your execution in 2017 with The McGuire Programme.
The McGuire Programme is run by people who stutter for people who stutter. Focusing on the mechanics of speech, the physiology and psychology of stuttering, confidence building and learning new techniques to control stuttering. We also deal with the fear of speaking using non-avoidance and assertiveness training techniques (face-to-face, group & telephone training)
Joining us also gives you the opportunity to meet other people who stutter and to improve your English speaking skills as the course will be held in English but there will be German translation if and when required from native German speakers.

McGuire Programme members who attended the Refresher/Improvement Day in Essen, Germany
So far this year we have held three 3-Day Intensive Courses in various locations around Germany. After each 3-Day Intensive Course we hold a 1-Day Refresher/Improvement Day to help the New Students and the existing members to reinforce the techniques and build a solid community of stutterers helping stutterers become strong eloquent speakers. The main focus of the Refresher/Improvement Day was to enhance our speaking techniques and to offer further support to the New Students who had completed their 01.

This was my 11. time instructing a McGuire Course and my 12. year as a member of the programme. And with every course I like to make changes so it’s a bit different each and very time. This time was no exception; I couldn’t have asked for a better course, the new students and the returning graduates were up for the challenges ahead and everything worked out perfectly (but there’s always room for improvement with little tweaks here and there - and it can only get better!)
