Today we're talking about interruptions, one of the most frustrating aspects of talking to another human.
What do you say to make them stop?
And is there a right way to interrupt?
My name is Jefferson Fisher and I'm on a mission to make your next conversation the one that changes everything.
If you enjoy learning tools to improve your communication, I'm going to ask you to follow this channel and please leave a review.
If you have any questions or topic suggestions, just throw them in the comments.
Okay, so you're in conversation, you're saying something, you're on a roll.
Maybe it's at a meeting.
Maybe it's a one on one face to face with someone and you're saying something and someone cuts you off.
They begin talking when it's not their turn.
They interrupted you.
What do you do?
Here's some things I want you to try.
Number one, let them, that's right, you heard me right.
You're going to let them, and I'll explain the reasoning for that later.
Let them interrupt you the first time.
Number two, if they interrupt you a second time, we're going to break that down.
We're going to use their first name and then we're going to use a power phrase.
This is, I can't hear you when you interrupt me.
Hey, Jefferson, Greg, Sean, whatever it is.
