How can I handle conversations with dominant voices?

It's important to assert yourself while remaining respectful. Have you tried using active listening techniques?

What are active listening techniques?

Active listening involves fully concentrating, understanding, responding, and remembering what is being said. It can help you engage better.

Can you give me an example of how to use active listening?

Sure! You can paraphrase what the other person said to show you understand, like saying, 'So what you're saying is...'

That sounds helpful! What if they interrupt me?

If they interrupt, politely say, 'I’d like to finish my thought, and then I’d love to hear your perspective.' This sets boundaries.
