In this episode of The Better Workday Podcast, host Niamh Moynihan digs into the common experience of interruptions in the workplace. She examines the various reasons behind these interruptions – from different communication styles (such as internal versus external thinking) and impatience to genuine passion and the need to be heard. Niamh categorises different types of interruptions, emphasising that not all are necessarily disruptive, and discusses their impact on effective communication. Importantly, she shares practical strategies for reducing interruptions, like the 'notebook method,' while underscoring the need to find the right balance so that essential contributions and clarifications are not overlooked.
