17 分钟Now, we all know people that no matter the conversation, they always find a way to talk about themselves.
And even if it's not about themselves, it always seems to be their voice that takes up the entire conversation.
On today's episode, we're discussing how to handle people who dominate conversations.
Welcome to the Jefferson Fisher Podcast, where I'm on a mission to make your next conversation the one that changes everything.
If you enjoy learning tools to improve your communication, I'm going to ask you to follow this podcast and if you would please leave a review.
If you have a suggestion for any kind of topic that you'd like to see covered, just throw it in the comments and I'll be sure to read it.
I also want to let you know that my new book, the Next Conversation, is officially out for preorder, and you can find links down there in the show notes.
When it comes to somebody dominating a conversation, and not in the good way, as in they're not letting anybody else speak.
They're the ones always having to hear their own voice, there's some things I need you to do.
Number one, interrupt them.
You interrupt that person.
Now, I know it doesn't sound like me to suggest that, but it's true.
Because if they're not going to respect your time, then you have to do it.
And there's a particular way I want you to do that.
You interrupt them by using their name.
You start low and then you go higher.
Because people listen to their name.
Their name gets their attention.
It's the best word they can ever hear is their name.
So if I were to hear you and I, or somebody was listening to me and I just said, hey, Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson, you say it as often and as loud as you need to because it will eventually make them stop.
