Embracing Insecurity: Living with A Stutter | Kevin Pudjiadi | TEDxYouth@SWA
How does it feel if we talk without being able to finish a sentence? The mixture of embarrassment, discomfort, and being disrespected by those around you will be unavoidable.
In his talk, Kevin will share some stories about his experience living with a stutter. From the moment he felt the shame in the early days until finally, he is able to embrace and overcome his stutter in daily life. Kevin is the co-founder of various projects which include Leafwell Group, SwillFam, Haluu World, Warung Om Iwan, and Donkeverse.
Creating a strong team and specialising has been the core of his growth. He believes that if you want to fast, you go alone, but if you want to go far, you go together.
Being a serial entrepreneur, Kevin saw the importance of being able to work in a team as a vital skill to grow. Kevin graduated from UNSW with a triple major in finance, marketing, and hospitality, but primarily focuses his work on the financial aspect. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I grew up with a stutter. I’ve learned to accept it and not let it stop me from achieving my goals. I teach, present, and do even perform music and poetry. Moses, one of the greatest men to live, had a speech impediment.
My stutter was severe until I realized half the stutter was me fighting the stutter. Its counterintuitive but real.
As a fellow stutterer I'm very proud of you bro....

There is no person inside me who can speak...... It is worst issue in life
God bless you, Kevin. You're inspiring,
Thanks for sharing Kevin! It's really brave to share your story and I know that by doing so you are helping a lot of people as well. I do recognize a lot of the things and feelings you are talking about. Keep going! 💪
Really relate on the introducing yourself part and being unable to say certain words. So inspiring ❤
Thank you for sharing this Kevin !
Man I feel how this guy felt….ESPECIALLY!!!!when he said when how Introduce my self, my starts with a “D” and I feel so embarrassed. Man it’s horrible. People think I am timid but it’s not that I just get worried about being awkward.
It's very touching. Thanks.
Great work Kevin
Thanks for share your experience. I send you a big hug 🤗 I have the same struggle and I know perfectly how you can feel.
I am 21 years old and people repeating after me every time I stutter, is the reason why I don't know what career I want. I studied being a teacher and I quit after two months in the course.

My history teacher in 10th grade was a stutterer , he stuttered on pretty much every other sentence but he was still a great teacher.
Splendid video. Properly explained. Thanks for sharing your experience.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You're very inspiring. However, as you know there are people who stutter a lot more than you and that can be very challenging when you'd get a promotion, do a public speech and so on.. In that case would you still just accept it or trying to mitigate it?

There is a comedian that had/has a very bad stutter due to a baseball accident. He worked on it for a long time and it's gotten WAY better. I'm pretty sure this guy even won America's Got Talent. Either way he proved that even with an injury caused stutter. He was able to reverse it in a way. There is many stuttering types out there. Me personally, I was never born with a stutter, but from me Streaming video games on Twitch my talking got very wild and off tracks. I noticed it last year and now I'm reversing it as of this month mainly. It's already improved a lot. Again I wasn't born with it... I actually developed it on accident by myself and now I can go back to reverse it. It's not bad at all. I can talk fine. just at times for sure it can get annoying

@@Justin-st5xv My stutter isn't really a stutter its more of a "speaking too fast" issue that I have. I do have a small stutter, but thats like a normal conversation stutter that happens. But from my twitch streaming it became really bad bceause I would speak so fast on stream and cram it all, which then carried into my real life a bit more. It has been getting better just within the last few weeks, but I still wanna "reverse" it to get back to what I was before the last 3 years. Everyone is different with it and I've talked to many people who had major stutters and now speak perfectly fine and some are even ACTORS now lol.

@@you-ry2bh One thing that I try to is to imagine im in a room by myself or with a friend. Or as well is I stream on Twitch/youtube. Now it's not infront of MANY people, but I have built a way bigger confidence with speaking infront of groups, because in a way I do it already.

What has helped me tons is reading the book How To Run Your Own Life by Jut Meininger (as long as I apply it I eliminate it completely) (when you read it you'll realize that you have to turn off your Adapted Child state and little by little train your Parent state so your Adapted child doesn't intervene)... you can download it (they don't print it anymore)

@@shubhamyeole9077 I know the feeling all to well. For what it's worth, I suggest checking out Lee Lovett's WSSA program and Stop Stuttering Short Course: How to Break the Stuttering Code book. It's helped me immensely after diligently immersing myself in the authors methods. Hope it can help you too.

You don’t have to accept it! You can change it like I did by reading Lee Lovetts’ “How to Stop Stuttering & Love Speaking”. Lee’s book & program changed my life and countless others and can very well so do the same for you.

@@vucious Yes I accepted it, but wanted to change it. Never made any sense why alone, I would speak fluently, but in front of others, I would block. I did speech therapy for nearly a year, but never worked. I bought the aforementioned book earlier this year and saw improvement in 2-3 months. All it takes is to diligently immerse yourself in the methods and be persistent and patient with yourself.

@@abolacadernos7164 good to hear that you improved with your stutter. I can relate to the part where you said you speak fluently when alone, that's the same case for me too. I almost don't stutter when I speak to myself but that's not the case when I talk to other people. I'd love to read the book you mentioned.

Hey man, i do have a STUTTER, it's just you have you have to analyse what's exactly causing your stutter and work on those aspects such as, being more loud or being more expressive, what worked even better was using a kind of musical accent, if you've noticed few people who talk very expressively moving all of their facial muscles and using they're arms for gestures, etc. Anyway, if you read this reply, feel free to reply back, it'd be nice to speak to a person of the same "Genre" is what I put it as, it would actually be helpful,. All the best BTW 👍😀
