About this episode
In this episode, Jessica Guzik teaches a three-step approach to effectively respond when someone talks over you at work.
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 Free resource: Grab my free PDF — Five Phrases to Help You Sound Like a Leader: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/phrases/
