Handling Interruptions
Part 2
by Catherine FranzTip 3: Discouraging professional interrupters. These professionals make a career out of interrupting. They start talking and don't stop. They go on and on and when they finally stop to catch a breath, and you get to say something, they interrupt a few minutes later. How do you handle these?
Movement is the key. If cornered behind your desk, stand up, and move. If standing up, move away. If sitting down, stand up. You can change momentum by dropping something, or turning sideways. Reach for something that has nothing to do with the conversation, or excuse you to the restroom.
Interrupt in the same manner the use with you. Go ahead, they do it because it appears normal to them. Here are a few template statements: "Where is this leading?" "What's your point, I've gotten lost in what I think is the trivia?"
It's important to practice patience. These professionals don't usually hear you the first few times. Become a broken record if need be. Identify what it is about their communication style or interruption process that annoys you. Provide your feedback and your preferred method.
Tip 4: What about the few that don't get your hints? Sometimes following you down the hall or continuing to talk "at" you instead of "with" you? Be direct with this rude offender.
If they appear to be bruised, don't let it bother you. They don't really take it personally, even if they say so. It is a form of manipulation. Don't play and don't apologize.
If they persist, give them an ultimatum: "You rudely interrupt me. I've tolerated this them in the past; however, I need for it to stop now." Eventually when they finally realize you're not paying their game, they will stop, and even pretend to be offended.
Later they will return with respect. Hopefully, with a new awareness of their behavior. But don't hope. If they don't return, you haven't lost anything.
Tip 5: If you can, keep doing what you are doing. Look up, smile, point to a notepad and pen, and then return to what you were doing.

Virgo Horoscope
America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
