In this inspiring audio, 26-year-old William Laven shares his journey of turning what many might see as a challenge\u2014his stammer\u2014into his greatest strength. From a childhood filled with limiting expectations to breaking barriers in his career at a top advertising agency, William\u2019s story is one of resilience, determination, and empowerment.

\n

By embracing his stammer, William has made it his superpower, and now he\u2019s on a mission to change perceptions of stammering. Through public speaking, launching a podcast with over 200,000 streams, and defying the odds, he shows that neurodiversity isn\u2019t something to hide, but to celebrate.

\n

Join us as we mark International Stammering Awareness Day and watch William\u2019s moving speech, filmed in an empty auditorium at the New Victoria Theatre, Woking, symbolising the power of a stammer and the impact of sharing our stories.
