Prepare a conversation about interruptions

Describe how turn-taking could work better in the next conversation.

Try this

Ask for enough time to finish one thought, then make room for the other person’s response.
If interruptions keep happening, discuss a format such as short turns. Avoid claiming an unlimited speaking slot as the solution.

A worked example

“Could I finish this thought, then I want to hear yours?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Keep the request focused on making space rather than winning uninterrupted time indefinitely.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
