My Journey as a Sportswriter Who Stutters

Ryan Cowley

Sunday 11:15AM - 12:15PM EST

Personal Story All

As a recently published first-time author, Ryan will speak about his journey as a sportswriter who stutters and his new book, “All the Right Words: My Journey as a Sportswriter Who Stutters.”

From his early years of low self-esteem and depression, scared to try new things due to his stutter, Ryan turned that fear into opportunity. He will describe his inspirational journey when he gave up feeling sorry for himself, changed his perspective on life and emerged as a successful and proud Person Who Stutters."


What to expect

I expect – and want – others to feel so inspired by my journey that they use it to spark their own journeys. Even if I get through to just one or two people, my mission will be worthwhile. I am, however, confident that I can inspire more people with my workshop.

I thoroughly look forward to this opportunity.
