How to Handle Interruptions

The Jefferson Fisher Podcast

NOTE

Embrace Interruptions for Better Communication

When faced with interruptions, responding defensively can portray insecurity and control, which detracts from effective communication. Instead of reacting strongly to an interruption, allow the interruption to take place. This approach serves a dual purpose: it shows grace by acknowledging the other person's input and it prepares you for a more meaningful interaction later. By permitting the initial interruption, you demonstrate patience, which positions you favorably for subsequent dialogue, making it more likely that your voice will be valued and heard in the conversation.
