"Ever been hit by those 'stolen spotlight' moments? They're like unwanted guests crashing your party. But hey, here's the scoop: interruptions aren't just a nuisance, they're a chance to shine. Yup, you heard it right! There are savvy ways to tackle them head-on and still ace your message. Whether you're chatting one-on-one or leading a group pow-wow, there are hacks to keep from being steamrolled. Here's the deal: when you're constantly cut off, keep on talking. How you handle those interruptions? That's your moment to shine, baby. It's what sets you apart and gives you that speaker swagger. And hey, interruptions aren't always bad news. They could be questions from your audience – a golden opportunity! Take it in your stride. Just like Bill Clinton did when his own phone rang during a speech. Talk about smooth operator! So, embrace the interruptions and show 'em who's boss." Now, after 25 years of training folks in communication skills, I've noticed a common thread. It's not that people are bad at communicating because they're inherently bad at it. Nah. It's more about the disconnect between what they're saying and who they truly are.
