Getting interrupted in a meeting is not just rude. It is a signal. And when you go quiet after it happens, you accidentally send one back. That your words can be skipped. That it is okay to talk over you. That you will let it slide. The fix is not to argue. It is not to go silent either. It is to pause and take your space back. Calmly. Clearly. Without making it a confrontation. Two phrases that work every time: “Let me complete this point.” “I’ll address that. Just give me a second.” That is not pushback. That is just you holding your ground professionally. When someone cuts you off in a meeting, what do you usually do? Drop it in the comments. I read every single one.
