A colleague repeatedly interrupts you during team meetings, which prevents you from contributing effectively.
💡 Address this behavior privately rather than in the middle of a meeting to avoid public confrontation. Use 'I' statements to focus on the impact of the interruptions on your work rather than attacking the colleague's character.

I wanted to talk to you about our meeting dynamics. Lately, I've noticed that I often get cut off while I'm speaking, which makes it challenging for me to convey my complete ideas to the team. I’d love for us to find a better rhythm where we both get the chance to speak without interruption; perhaps we can make a conscious effort to let each other finish before responding?
