Being interrupted is a common issue in meetings, particularly affecting women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ employees, often due to a power dynamic associated with seniority.
To effectively respond to interruptions, consider using assertive statements like Kamala Harris did, or safely reiterate your point after being interrupted to regain the floor.
It’s essential to advocate for colleagues who are interrupted. By saying things like 'I think Rebecca wasn't done' can help shift the workplace culture.
Altering the culture of interruptions requires awareness and action, especially from those in senior positions. Collective support can create a more respectful environment.
