Do you know why people don’t listen to you in meetings? In business meetings, it can be difficult to get people to listen to you when you speak.
If the room is crowded and if there are a number of people who are trying to get talking space, it can be very challenging to jump into the conversation and hold everyone’s attention.
People might interrupt you. They might talk over. And it’s likely the conversation gets taken away.
Why does this happen?
