Since I am now partially aware of this flaw, I am constantly on the look-out to better myself. Here are today's tips that I am repeating as a mantra, on one of my Back-Burner ProcessorsTM, for dealing with people (even if it's the man in the mirror I'm talking to) who want to disrupt my flow and/or presentations:
- Approach the person(s) in a confident manner.
- Make and do not lose eye contact.
- Be direct, but do not talk down to them.
- Take and maintain control of the situation.
- Do not engage in a shouting match.
- Remain in charge.
- Repeat their words when responding.
- When finished let them know the conversation is over and they have two choices – leave or sit down and listen.
