How To Take Back an Interruption

How can you respond when you get interrupted? Take it back!

Women are 2-3 times as likely to get interrupted and that is FRUSTRATING - or maybe a few steps past frustrating to angering.

Here are two phrases I've found to be particularly helpful to redirect the conversation back to what you were saying so you can get heard:

🔥 I haven't finished speaking yet.

🔥 I have more to say.

You can use these in the moment you are interrupted or you can wait until the other person is finished speaking and then take the interruption back.

If that feels uncomfortable, remember that your voice has value. You have ideas that can create impact and a perspective worth hearing. Use that as motivation to take back the interruption.
