About this interview Sharon Steed is the founder of Communilogue, a consultancy focused on teaching empathy and inclusion. As a person who stutters, Sharon felt uncomfortable talking to others, especially groups. Her fears and discomfort sidelined her from making progress toward many of life’s milestones. She eventually figured out how to be okay with her insecurity and those courageous efforts have opened a lot of doors, many of which allow her to help others.
