Getting talked over at work puts you in a lose-lose situation – stay quiet and lose your chance to speak, or talk back over them and risk looking difficult.

In this episode, I'm teaching you a three-step approach that helps you take back the floor after someone interrupts you, without coming across as aggressive or confrontational.

You'll learn:

  • How to use persuasion techniques to take back the floor
  • The exact pivot phrase to use when redirecting the conversation back to your topic
  • How to re-engage the room emotionally so your return to the floor feels seamless (& not awkward)
  • The one question to ask yourself before any meeting where you'll be presenting or giving an update
