Mastering the struggle of stuttering | Broca Brothers | TEDxGroningen

Mastering the struggle of stuttering | Broca Brothers | TEDxGroningen
For people who stutter, communicating can be a frustrating experience. Longing to be fluent speakers, Hille and Sjoerd decided to take a new approach to get rid of the barriers which stopped them from being able to speak freely. Hille & Sjoerd Stellingwerf are the Broca Brothers. Together they founded an organization through which they inspire and coach people who stutter in their journey of becoming fluent speakers. Hille began stuttering when he was 5 years old. He has always used music and singing as a way out, to express himself. At 25 he I quit music, knowing he had to pursue his ability to use the most genuine form of expressing yourself: talking. Sjoerd is a master's student at the department of Social Psychology at the University of Groningen. He has been stuttering since he was young, and makes a conscious effort to become a fluent speaker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
