One coworker constantly interrupts me during meetings.

That sounds frustrating. You might try addressing it directly by saying something like, 'I appreciate your input, but I would like to finish my thoughts first.' Would you like tips on how to approach that conversation?

Yes, that would be helpful.

You could start by choosing a private moment to talk. Use 'I' statements to express how their interruptions affect you, and suggest a solution. Would you like to role-play this conversation?

Sure, let's role-play.

Great! I'll be your coworker. You can start the conversation whenever you're ready.
