Leah...just an observation - Page 2

@RMS58 Stuttering is a medical condition. For people who have it, it can be both debilitating and embarrasing. I'd say that she is doing well for someone who is presenting on TV.

The ONLY thing I have "observed" is that Leah's hair is getting longer....

I'm just glad she is still at QVC.

She looks very pretty and healthy, and I hope all is well with her. I've watched her on Sat. for years. Maybe she needs to begin singing and dancing a little.

@febe1 LOL. In my opinion, there is NO WAY that Leah would sing and dance, nor should she. The little routines that others do are just dumb, and embarassing. On another note, I did not know Leah had a bad stutter when she was hired. Makes you wonder why she was hired in the first place. I guess I do see it now and then when she is presenting. She is one of the better hosts.

@Puppy Lips

Why not hire her? She was qualified for the position and worked on TV previously. Having a hidden disability, such as a stutter, is not a reason to object to an individual's intelligence, integrity and qualifications for a position. Sounds like she has had many years of continued work to help her overcome the stuttering. Stress and fatigue would be culprets of increased problems in Leah's language.

BTW: Amy Stran also has a speech impediment, especially when she is tired or feels anxious.

Both women were hired by QVC with excellent educations and quickly proved they were advantagous as top hosts. Today, each one is among the highest achievers in sales and most watched!

Statistics have proven that an employee with a hidden disability will usually outperform other employees from their first day on the job. (I'm also one of those disabled adults who was a Type A personality and always outperformed my friends and those I worked with, but we all learned from each other throughout the years, as well. )

Money screams; wealth whispers.

@Puppy Lips, I was being a little sarcastic there. I agree Leah is "one of the better hosts."

@BirkiLady Well I misunderstood a previous post then. I thought she actively HAD the stutter when she was hired. That would be a valid reason not to hire someone, if they were stuttering on air while trying to sell QVC items. It certainly does not take away from any of her other qualifications.
