January 8, 2026

We met on Zoom with 6 PWS (people who stutter). After intros, we reflected on 2025 by each sharing SUCCESSES, REGRETS and LEARNINGS we had experienced last year.

Our SUCCESSES centered around professional growth opportunities at work. Our REGRETS included improving work/life balance. Our LEARNINGS ranged from “being more communicative” to “owning up to our mistakes” to “letting of the panic feeling when speaking.”

We closed by sharing our HOPES for 2026. One person shared how they hope to make progress on their writing goals. Another person hopes to learn new skills in UX/AI endeavors. And someone shared their hope for successfully leading important job training skills classes.

This was a really good first meeting of the year for us.
