Step 6 — Expert Guidance & Integration

This is where fluent speech becomes your new normal.

By Step 6, you have:

  • Understood why you stutter

  • Learned tools to avoid blocks

  • Begun rewiring speech pathways

  • Regulated your nervous system

​

What remains is mastery — integrating everything you’ve learned into confident, automatic, real-world speech. 

​

Step 6 is about integrating what you have learned in Steps 1-5 and making fluent speech effortless across real life.

Why Expert Guidance Matters

Knowing what to do is not the same as knowing how to apply it — especially in unpredictable speaking situations.

 

Even highly capable speakers can plateau without expert calibration​:

  • Apply tools inconsistently

  • Overcorrect or force techniques

  • Miss subtle errors in execution

  • Lose confidence after isolated setbacks

 

Step 6 ensures the protocol is implemented correctly, efficiently, and sustainably.

What Step 6 Provides

Step 6 is live, interactive, and personalized. It does not introduce new techniques—it helps you to successfully integrate and use the tools you already have. 

​

You receive:

  • Expert coaching from Michael

  • Real-time feedback on tool usage

  • Support navigating challenging speaking situations

  • Guidance refining your daily practice routine

  • Identification and correction of subtle execution errors that limit fluency under stress

​

This is not generic coaching — it is precision integration.

Michael does not teach fluency from theory—his teachings are grounded in leading edge science and his own personal transformation.

Important Clarification

Step 6 focuses on execution and integration — not analysis, acceptance, or symptom management.

​​

​Step 6 is not:​​​

  • Therapy

  • Acceptance coaching

  • Passive listening

​

It is active, expert-guided integration of everything

you’ve learned. 

​

​Step 6 exists because real life is unscripted—and fluency must hold anyway. 

​​

Many members repeat this class several times to receive expert personal guidance as they progress their journey to stop stuttering and rewire their brain for effortless fluent speech.
