Your Coaching Journey
Episode 122: To interrupt or not to interrupt, that is the question.
22 Aug 2025
You may have heard us talk about interrupting coachees on previous podcasts, but we see and hear so much from other coaches talking about this topic online that we thought we'd set our stall out in a more thorough and robust way. We have also noticed an increase in very visible coaches rebadging interrupting as interjecting, and saying that it's ok, even necessary. So, we thought we'd talk through what we see as the subtle differences between interrupting and interjecting and share our perspectives in this dedicated episode on the topic. In this episode, not only do we discuss interruptions and interjections, and the difference between the two, you will also get to hear a couple of Tom's 'dad jokes', and bear witness to a couple of his incredible animal impersonations (although, actually, there are no bears). We could apologise for the extensive presence of laughter in this episode, but we won't, because as we have said before, we take coaching seriously, and ourselves less so. Enjoy the podcast? If you're enjoying the podcast it would be great if you left us a review here or wherever you listen to your podcast.
