When this is the room
Voices colliding on the call; no turn-taking cues
Talking Over Each Other
Say this — right now
I'm getting a lot of voices at once - let's switch to raised hands. [Name], you're first; [Name], you're up next.
Word for word is fine. The room won't know.
Work the move
- 01Set the norm: raise-hand button or "me" in chat, no surprise interjections
- 02Announce the next speaker before the current one finishes
- 03Signal handoffs explicitly: "[Name], the floor is yours"
- 04Model finishing cleanly: pause, breathe, confirm you're done before handing off
Still in your hand
