2. Frequent Interrupting
Interrupting isn’t always intentional. It can stem from eagerness, anxiety, or a desire to be heard. But it often leaves others feeling unheard or dismissed. Anne Willkomm, an associate teaching professor in the department of communication at Drexel University, told Time that it’s important for people to get curious about why you interrupt. Then, commit to pausing and letting others finish their thoughts.
If you slip up, a quick apology—like “Sorry, please continue”—can go a long way. And remember, not every great idea needs to be shared immediately; follow-ups via email or later in the conversation work too.
