July 4, 2009Power Phrase ~ I didn’t get to my punchline
Have you ever had people interrupt you before you were able to get to your point? Sometimes I can tell my listener is so absorbed in her own thoughts that they can’t wait for me to complete mine. It’s usually best to let her express her thought. Then, gently let them know you had more to say by saying,
- I didn’t get to my punchline.
After that set up, they know to listen until you’ve made your point. (Just don’t take too long to get there!)
