How to Stop People From Interrupting You (In Meetings and On Stage) | Ep 435

About this episode

If you keep getting interrupted in meetings, the real reason isn't rudeness, it's anxiety, and it's fixable with one shift in how you talk.

This episode breaks down why people cut you off in meetings, on sales calls, and even from the audience when you're on stage, and it's never about you. You'll get two different playbooks, one for speaking from the stage and one for corporate settings, so you know exactly how to pace a room and keep control of your spotlight time.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • The real reason people interrupt you in meetings and on stage, and why it comes down to anxiety instead of rudeness.
  • Where to put your three-point structure when you're speaking from a stage, before you ever open with an agenda.
  • How to move your Q&A ahead of your closing, which means a random question never gets the last word on your talk.
  • The exact phrase to open a corporate status update, so next time nobody's waiting for a gap to jump in.
  • How to reclaim the room with one line before you wrap up, and exactly why it works even when you're short on time.

Pace the room, and the interruptions stop finding a way in.
