Keep control of the conversation and redirect

Stay silent, even when you want to speak up

A bit nervous, but focus on getting your tone right

Ready, as long as you’ve practiced your message

Like you'd rather email your ideas instead

When someone interrupts you in a conversation, you...

Pause and wait for them to finish

Push through and complete your point

Listening deeply and speaking kindly

Speaking clearly with authority and conviction

Saying what matters without fearing judgment
