Have you ever been cut off mid-sentence, had your idea hijacked, or been completely misunderstood with no chance to recover? If you're someone who already finds speaking up challenging, these moments can feel devastating. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how to reclaim your voice and communicate with unshakeable confidence.
What I'm Covering:
- Why interruptions hit socially reserved people especially hard (and why it's not about the value of what you're saying)
- The real psychology behind why people interrupt—from enthusiasm to power plays
- My proven strategies for recovering in-the-moment when someone cuts you off or misunderstands you
- How to have follow-up conversations that prevent future interruptions without damaging relationships
My In-the-Moment Recovery Framework:
- Stay Centered and Reclaim the Floor - Confident phrases to get your voice back
- Use Your Body Language - How to project confidence even when you're feeling rattled
- Address Misunderstandings Immediately - Scripts for clarifying without being defensive
- Bridge Back to Your Point - Techniques for returning to your original contribution
