Example scenario

What to say when your boss talks over you in meetings

An engineer calmly holding the floor while colleagues listen in a meeting

Example scenario: a realistic composite, not a real person or a real result.

The situation

Jordan, an engineer, was cut off by his manager twice in the same planning meeting while explaining a risk.

In the moment

Keep it short and even. Do not raise your voice to match theirs.

  1. Opening

    I'll finish this point, it affects the date.

  2. Boundary

    One more minute and then I'm yours.

After the meeting

  1. Opening

    I want the risks I raise to get heard in planning.

  2. Boundary

    When I'm cut off, the team misses the details.

  3. Pause

    Can you give me the floor first on technical risks next week?
