I really 🩷🩷🩷 this, you’ve highlighted a very important challenge, that occurs ALL the time, and one that’s often not handled well at all, and you’ve nailed it by providing simple easy solutions/tools! And it was a very humorous enjoyable witty read! 👏🏻
Yes, such an important challenge that can be suuuuper awkward dealing with / getting comfortable with as well. Ha ha, thanks re- calling out the humour. I had a blast writing this one!!
Brilliant commentary Leanne. As a facilitator, I’ve actually been thanked for successfully interrupting verbose board directors or execs. And, I’m a HUGE fan of priming people for conciseness - and that they WILL be interrupted.
Thankyou Leanne!

The priming is where it's at! Makes the interruption moment all that easier (or, can sometimes eliminate it entirely).
Love this piece, Leanne. You do such an excellent job of explaining why intentional interruptions matter and how to do it elegantly. Thank you!!
Oh, thanks so much, Kathy. Yes, elegantly interrupting can be a thing... and people will absolutely thank you for it!
Awesome read this week - thanks, Leanne - I love the Dark Art of Interupting. :)
Thank you, Nicole. I love that it's a dark art, too!
Fantastic! Just what I needed for a presentation about boundaries and assertiveness in progress.
Thanks, Mani! Yes, I think it's our duty to share that interrupting is absolutely okay! All the best with your preso.
Thank you!
This is a chapter for a book @leanne. Imagine 12 such chapters. I’d buy that book and keep it on my shelf.
Oh, thank you, JM! You've given me something to think about here.
FYI. It was insightful useful and actionable. Most Meetings Suck: 12 things you can do right now to make them better
I’m over business books that are too long because publishers say a certain size feels right and sells on shelves. MAKE THE PRINT BIGGER THEN
100% agree. Or, add some images! Yes, my goal with The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint was to try to write it with the fewest of words. Nice title!
