What would you do if you struggled to say your name? Because of her stutter, Bhavna Bakshi faced this harsh truth. She would skip school presentations, stay silent in group discussions, and even use an alias, all to avoid the humiliation of speaking.
After a decade of these limiting behaviors, Bhavna refused to continue sabotaging her personal and professional growth. She has since documented the strategies she applied to build her confidence and reclaim her voice and now offers these tools via workshops, panels, and keynotes.
Participants in Bhavna’s sessions leave with proven tactics to help: learn to stutter without shame, create affirmations of resilience, integrate mindfulness practices into your speech, and develop active listening skills to assist with maneuvering conversations.
