How do you stop someone rambling off topic in a meeting without sounding rude? Do you sometimes feel you have lost any control of a conversation or meeting and you are not getting your questions answered or ideas heard? Does this begin to erode your confidence?
You don't have to be agressive to be assertive. You just need some tactics in your communication toolkit.
This episode gives 3 practical techniques you can use to interrupt nicely and take back control!
5 minutes - 3 Steps. This is part of a series of shorter episodes. The interviews will return in the Autumn and be alternated with the short format episodes.

Welcome to Self Belief Unsquashed, the podcast that takes you on a liberating journey to bring your whole self to the surface. Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert—let’s face it, you’re human—this is your space to untangle the messy knots of self-doubt and squash the myths that keep you small.
Hosted by Trisha Lewis, author of ’The Mystery of the Squashed Self’ and TEDx speaker, this podcast dives headfirst into the everyday barriers that hold us back: the sneaky grip of comparisonitis, the weight of people-pleasing, the fear of rejection, and the baggage of past experiences. With warmth, wit, and wisdom drawn from her own journey, Trisha offers bite-sized episodes filled with thought-provoking reframes, actionable challenges, and raw honesty.
No fluff, no filters—just real talk about what it takes to show up as your true self and feel good about it. Ready to bash down the barriers and build unstoppable self-belief? Tune in and let’s get unsquashed.
