What to say—exactly—
when it happens
Some examples of the kinds of phrases you get:
Power Phrases (hold the floor):
- “I’m speaking.”
- “I’m still speaking.”
- “(Name)—I’m not finished.”
- “I’m going to finish my point.”
- “As I was saying…”
Speak-Less move:
“Stop Speaking — no follow-up except three seconds of silence.”
Professional Reset (toxic/disrespect):
“Hey, let’s keep our communication professional, okay?”
Meeting Closer (Who / What / When):
- “Perfect. Let me confirm…” → Who / What / When
- “When you say ‘great,’ do you mean you’re green?”
- “What do you say we lock in a decision while momentum is with us?”
Exit Formula (time drains/drama):
“Excuse me… I’m going to get back to what I was doing--Have a good afternoon.”
