People Who Stammer Discover Their Voices in Bengaluru in the 10th Year Anniversary Course!
Transforming People Who Stutter in India For the Past 10 Years!
The McGuire India Programme successfully celebrated its 10th year anniversary course in Bengaluru from May 29 to June 2 2024, marking a decade of empowering people who stammer in the Indian region. New students, graduates, and staff members representing various corners of India and the globe, gathered to overcome their stammer and embrace their true selves without hesitation. A day prior to the course, a football match was organized to celebrate the 10th year of the Sport of Speaking in the Indian region.
The new cohort was outstanding, showcasing the best group of students the region has seen. They diligently learned and applied new tools and techniques in real-world conversations. Just in a few days, the initial anxiety and fear had transformed into radiant smiles (see picture) after the public speaking session.
Graduates returned to rekindle their inner strength, acting as coaches and mentors for the new students. They participated in dedicated sessions to refine their techniques and set actionable goals, advancing their journey towards eloquence.
The course was highly effective, thanks to the synergy between powerful instructors, disciplined new students, committed graduates, and supportive family members. Special recognition goes to Rishabh Panchamia for his exceptional course instruction. A big shout out to all the staff training candidates for their dedication, and the Indian and overseas coaches for inspiring others.
It was nice to see Paul Paluch, the region’s very first course instructor come to celebrate the 10th year anniversary with his father. Staff trainer Matthew Richardson’s dedication and passion for helping people who stammer (PWS) in India and worldwide is awe-inspiring. It is quite remarkable to witness the region’s success as witnessed by how far the graduates have achieved professionally since their first course.

The success of the Bengaluru 2024 course is evident in the heartfelt testimonials shared by participants.
