25 people came to Austin, Texas to face their fears and continue their journeys toward overcoming their stuttering!

The challenges of being a person who stutters go far beyond the physical "stuttering" that most people see.  Part of what makes the McGuire Programme so successful is that everyone in the Programme - coaches, instructors, members - is a stutterer who has been helped immensely by the Programme.

I'd never been around so many other people who stutter!

Las Vegas ALWAYS delivers, and this year was a no different!  35 McGuire Programme members from all over the world - including 6 new students - descended on Las Vegas and made huge improvements in their abilities to speak eloquently.

Toronto has always been so welcoming to the McGuire Programme, and 2018 saw our largest attendance ever.  Six new members joined more than 25 returning graduates to take massive steps in our journeys to win the sport of speaking.

Confronting one's stutter can be challenging, but once we take that first step, it is so freeing and rewarding to take control of our speech, often for the first times in our lives.

I would like to thank the McGuire Programme... for giving me a new life!
