Career Coaching for Professionals Who Stutter

"I spent decades letting my stutter decide what I was allowed to want. Then I stopped. Here is what became possible."

Hans Guenther, Founder

Professionals hitting a ceiling they attribute to their stutter.

Early and mid-career professionals who stutter — quietly making their world smaller to avoid the risk of being heard. Turning down the presentation. Not raising the hand. Deferring the promotion. Letting the meeting happen without them.

If you have spent years shaping your career around the fear of speaking, this work is for you.

Not survival. Advancement.

This work is about advancing alongside your stutter — not in spite of it. Building a full professional life regardless of it. It is not about fixing your speech. It is about rewriting the story you have been telling yourself about what your stutter allows you to want.

The ceiling you have been living under is not made of speech. It is made of the decisions you have been quietly making for years. That is what changes.

Not clinical. Not therapy. Not a treatment.

I am a Person Who Stutters who built a 35-year global career at Nike and Adidas — leading development, engineering, and manufacturing teams at the highest levels of the athletic footwear industry.

I coach from lived experience, not a textbook.

For clinical speech support, I recommend STARS — a stuttering advocacy organization I proudly serve on the advisory board for. This work complements clinical care; it does not replace it.

Because I know what the ceiling feels like from the inside.

For most of my career, my stutter decided what I was allowed to want. It decided which rooms I would enter, which meetings I would speak in, which promotions I would pursue. It shaped a life that looked successful from the outside — and felt quietly limited from the inside.

That is the ceiling I now help other professionals dismantle.

Three engagements, one arc.

Each engagement builds on the last. Where you start depends on where you are — and what you are ready to change.

Foundation 3 Months

Identity, narrative reframing, and foundational professional strategies. The work of separating who you are from the story you have been told about your stutter — and beginning to speak, work, and lead from that separation.

01
Advancement 6 Months

Leadership presence, high-stakes communication, and career positioning. Building the skills, patterns, and confidence to occupy the rooms you have been avoiding — and to be heard in them on your own terms.

02
Transformation 9–12 Months

The complete arc. Rewriting the story of what your stutter allows you to want — and building the career, presence, and life that story has been holding back. This is the deepest and most durable version of the work.

Let's talk about what is possible.

Every engagement starts with a free discovery call — a conversation, not a commitment. We talk about where you are, what you are working toward, and whether this work is the right fit.
