    "Just talk to people"

    What's it like giving a TED Talk?  What does it mean to demonstrate resiliency—both in speaking and in life?  How do you craft a talk that not just conveys information, but tells a story and connects with your audience on a personal level?  Join this conversation with Justin Skeesuck, award-winning author and speaker, as he shares his inspiring story of creativity, resiliency, and connecting with others to help move people forward.

    "We need to talk"

    Why should I learn to present if I have a disability?  Why is self-acceptance so important in influencing the outcome?  What does a reaction to a moment of stuttering implicitly tell the presenter about themself?  Today's episode is all about stuttering.  Join us as we learn from a clinical associate professor in speech therapy and one of her students about how to prepare for a talk, the importance of attitude, and how to be an ally for those with stutters.

    "Seen as the blind guy"

    How do I set myself up for success in my presentation?  How can I use my ability to my advantage?  Should I disclose my disability to my audience if it leads to a faux pas?  Join us for the inaugural episode of Speaking Ability in which we unpack questions around planning and delivering a strong presentation and whether disclosure is important to your message.
