Author: Dave McGuirePublisher: The McGuire Program California LLCPaperback:ISBN 10: 1733011501ISBN 13: 978-1733011501 The McGuire Programme has been featured in many television documentaries including the 2019 BAFTA TV nominated ITV documentary “SCHOOL FOR STAMMERERS”.In 1994, Dave McGuire founded The McGuire Programme, an international self-help membership organization using the same methods that helped him overcome a severe stutter. Called The McGuire Programme, this organization (owned and operated by those who stutter to help others who stutter), runs 3-4 day intensive courses and provides follow-up support throughout the world. This book (3RD EDITION, 2019) is the course manual for all members. Combining mental strategies with breathing techniques, this book explains The McGuire Programme, a proven technique for long-term improvement in speech and self-confidence for those who suffer from stuttering. Developed through the author’s own struggles, readers learn to deal with their fear of stuttering by using a combination of physical techniques and mental strategies so that they can become better than normally fluent speakers. This 25th anniversary edition has been revised to incorporate the development of the methods of The McGuire Programme. Review "Life changing. The McGuire Programme gave me the skills to be who I wanted to be, and achieve what I never thought possible." - Kelly Brown, 2010 Scottish Rugby Captain "This life-changing program has made me realize that anything is possible. I continue to do things that were once beyond my wildest dreams." - Matthew Richardson "Dave and the programme have changed me in immeasurable ways. I am still part of the programme 25 years later as it inspires me to grow." - Andrew Dias About the Author Dave McGuire suffered from a severe stutter that devastated his professional and person life. All attempts to solve this problem through traditional speech therapy failed. Finally, at age 45, he put together several concepts that enabled him to not only conquer his stutter, but to speak well. From this, and much trial and error, he created an organization to help others who stutter that is a world-wide organization called The McGuire Programme. Now living in Santa Barbara, California, Dave's passion is still as strong as it was 25 years ago and his programme continues to develop and grow.
