How to Manage a Boss Who Is a Chronic Interrupter

In this episode, Lucas and Luna tackle a common workplace frustration: a boss who constantly interrupts you in meetings and one-on-ones. They discuss the psychological reasons behind chronic interrupting—often a mix of anxiety, ADHD, or power dynamics—and offer concrete strategies to reclaim the conversation. Lucas shares a specific technique borrowed from former FBI negotiators: using a calm 'hold that thought' and maintaining eye contact to regain the floor. They also explore the 'three-sentence rule' for structuring your talking points to make interruption harder. Luna brings in data from a recent survey showing that 67% of employees say being interrupted by their boss damages their confidence. The episode includes a real-world example from a product manager who successfully reset the dynamic with her VP. Practical advice for anyone who feels steamrolled in professional conversations. #ChronicInterrupter #ManagingUp #DifficultBoss #WorkplaceCommunication #MeetingSurvival #CareerAdvice #ToxicManager #PowerDynamics #ProfessionalDevelopment #ConversationalHijack #ActiveListening #Boundaries #Assertiveness #WorkplacePsychology #FBICommunication #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
