I just finished reading your latest newsletter on the nuanced art of handling and leveraging interruptions in a professional setting, and I must say, it was an enlightening read. Your ability to dissect this common yet often mishandled aspect of communication into a structured framework is commendable. The differentiation between 'bad' and 'good' interruptions, coupled with actionable strategies on how to manage and initiate these interruptions, is incredibly valuable.
What stood out to me the most was your approach to maintaining control during interruptions and the emphasis on the importance of staying effective over sticking rigidly to an agenda. The real-life examples and scripts you provided are practical and easy to relate to, making the advice not only digestible but also immediately applicable. Your insights into the importance of mutual respect and trust in fostering an environment where constructive interruptions are welcomed, rather than feared, are particularly noteworthy.
Moreover, your emphasis on the significance of preparation—not for the sake of rigidly adhering to one's prepared content but rather to ensure meaningful and focused discussions—is a powerful reminder of the ultimate goal of any presentation or meeting: effective and efficient communication.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and experiences with us. Your newsletter is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to sharpen their communication skills and become a more effective operator. I look forward to implementing these strategies in my own interactions and observing the positive impact they have on my communication efficiency.
Love the tangible examples on how to keep a handle on the conversation and moving it forward. Conviction is so important in the delivery as well. You have to believe yourself that it’s better to keep moving than to get interrupted.
In my last job as a consultant, I did a lot of presenting often to folks I hadn’t worked with before. I had a standard huddle that we do before we started, and I think the literal first thing I would say was “I’m probably gonna tell you some things that you already know. Part of that is just to make sure we are on the same page and using the same definitions, but if I’m spending too much time on things you already know, please just tell me, ‘yeah we know this part, but we need to discuss this other thing.’” Almost no one ever took me up on that. But I also think starting that way established a good rapport of humility and a desire for the work to be meaningful and beneficial for the participants…

Great read! It is very important to set up the right mindset and expectations upfront. Once that’s in place reframing should be your go to approach.
