How do you feel about being interrupted when you're speaking?

When do you feel it is appropriate to interrupt others?

Apparently we only wait 17 seconds on average in a conversation before interrupting. And yet you may feel frustrated, when you are interrupted yourself.

In this episode we explore if it is appropriate to interrupt others, and strategies to manage being interrupted when we are speaking in meetings.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • Why people interrupt
  • Is it ever OK to interrupt others?
  • Your CQ cultural intelligence and understanding others' interruptions
  • How to interrupt appropriately
