Make everyone feel included

It stinks to feel left out when you’re talking in a group. You can avoid this by making sure you look at everyone involved, according to Reisinger.

“Make everyone feel like they are a part of the conversation and their attention will be yours,” he says.

If it appears that someone in the group is trying to say something but keeps getting cut off, take it upon yourself to help them jump in. You can try, “Jim, did you want to say something?” But never put anyone on the spot of making them feel uncomfortable.
