How to Handle Interruptions
The Jefferson Fisher Podcast
Listen First, Speak Clearly
Allowing interruptions provides an opportunity to establish a healthier communication dynamic. When interruptions occur, give the other person the chance to express themselves fully, which prevents frustrations from building up and avoids potential outbursts. This approach not only demonstrates grace but also secures your position to respond effectively once they have finished. After addressing their interruption, return directly to your original point rather than veering off track. If interrupted again, use the person's name to regain focus and command attention, reinforcing the importance of your message while promoting respectful dialogue.
