Another Great Course In Oslo, Norway
Only a few grads from Denmark and Sweden could participate due to the pandemic since we needed more social distancing indoors than usual, but all of Scandinavia was present. The regular hand-shake-drills had to be replaced with a heart-shake-drill which worked very well. When making contact with strangers on the streets the need for social distancing prompted practising good, strong voice projection. It was so great to see so many old friends after such a long time, and great effort by everyone made it possible to conduct a safe course in a time when many of our regions are restricted to running online courses.
We look forward to seeing you all in Oslo next year!

The McGuire Programme in Scandinavia just wrapped up another course in Aarhus, Denmark!
This is a great example of expanding your comfort zone and working with self-acceptance, which I see as some of the key concepts in the work of getting more control of your stuttering. I am very grateful that I chose to join the McGuire Programme and I am really looking forward to the further journey.
This course reminded us of the tremendous benefits of spending 3½ days in a room with people who are all working towards the same goals. For our own benefit and for the benefit of the whole group. We used this dynamic to encourage each other to work harder, speak up more assertively and fully express ourselves.
Not even social distancing and Covid-19 could hold back the willingness to become strong, eloquent speakers.
