Are you an interrupter? When we interrupt, we’re not just cutting someone off, we’re also disrespecting them. Why do we interrupt? Whatever the reason, whether our eagerness to share our own ideas, or the assumption that we already know what the other person is going to say, interruptions can stifle a conversation and leave others feeling unheard.

To interrupt the habit of interrupting, catch your impulse to interrupt as it arises. Close your mouth, take a breath, open your ears and listen. Give the other person the space and respect to finish their thought, and then when it’s your turn to talk, talk.

Until da next Tyme
