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. you're in

in the 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 gonna 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, Ashley, I can't hear you when you interrupt me.

And number three, if you have to go a little bit stronger, they interrupt you and they just keep

stemrolling into the conversation.

We're going to talk about asserting a boundary

to get them to stop interrupting,

or if that's a conversation,

you need to end altogether.

And there's something I want to be very clear

about right out of the gate and that is not all

interruptions are made the same. They're not all equal. Some people in their

personality or maybe a disorder they can't help but interrupt.
