Description

Are you tired of being talked over, cut off, or interrupted in meetings and not knowing how to respond without sounding rude, emotional, or aggressive?

In this episode of Speak Your Mind Unapologetically, you'll learn exactly what to say and how to say it when someone interrupts you at work, whether it's a peer, a manager, a client, or someone you lead.

We’ll cover:

  • The top mistakes to avoid when you're interrupted (passive, passive-aggressive, and aggressive responses that backfire)
  • 8 proven elements of a confident, respectful, and effective response
  • Word-for-word scripts you can use immediately
  • How to build the courage and confidence to speak up, even if it feels risky

 Whether you’re in a high-stakes meeting or a casual conversation, these strategies will help you stop getting steamrolled and start commanding the room with clarity and calm authority.
