Podcasts about interruptions

In this episode of The Art of Charm, we sit down with Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener and Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, authors of Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection. Together, they unpack a new framework for transforming your conversations—not with better scripts, but with sharper intention. Drawing from psychology, coaching, and decades of research, we explore the six listening motivations, why “active listening” falls short, and how to avoid the silent killers of connection—like half-listening, politeness, and certainty. Whether you're leading a team, navigating tough conversations, or simply tired of being misunderstood, this episode is a masterclass in making people feel truly seen, heard, and valued. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Introduction [00:03:08] What is Radical Listening and how does it go beyond active listening? [00:06:49] Six listening intentions—and how they change everything [00:09:55] How to set the stage for hard conversations with appreciation, not authority [00:17:34] Why quick, genuine care matters more than long, empty check-ins [00:25:17] The myth of being a “great listener” and what most high performers miss [00:34:33] Why watching yourself on video can instantly improve your listening [00:38:12] What does “listening for” versus “listening to” actually mean? [00:45:33] The real cost of half-listening—and why it breaks trust [00:51:26] How to interject without interrupting—and why it's actually radical empathy Episode Takeaways: You're not being ignored because you're unimportant—people are stuck in half-attention. Flip the script by modeling radical listening. Start with intention. Every conversation is a choice—validate, influence, learn, support. Know what you're there to do. Interruptions aren't rude if they're respectful. Interject to amplify, not hijack. In your leadership, it's not what you say—it's how you show you care. A 60-second check-in can change someone's entire day. Half-listening is worse than not listening at all. Either be fully present—or ask to talk later.The best listeners aren't born—they're trained.

Episode 586: Neal and Toby dive into Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' that looks to extend a 2017 tax cut policy alongside other economic policies that may or may not increase the US deficit. Then, Netflix just saved ‘Sesame Street' as the legendary show will now be available on the most popular streaming platform. Also, small college towns that rely on a bustling campus are beginning to become ghost towns as enrollments are shrinking. Meanwhile, Toby examines the trend of cremation – a much more affordable option for families, but also hurting the bottom lines for funeral homes.  Subscribe to Morning Brew Daily for more of the news you need to start your day.

In this sermon titled "Holy Interruptions," Dr. Jeremy Smith explores the idea that God often works through unexpected interruptions in our lives. He begins by sharing a personal anecdote about his dogs interrupting his work, which leads to meaningful moments of reflection. Dr. Smith then delves into how Jesus' ministry was largely shaped by interruptions, citing numerous examples from the Gospels where Jesus responded to unexpected needs and requests. The speaker emphasizes that while we often resist interruptions, they can be opportunities for God to work in and through us. He references Mark 5, where Jesus stops to heal a bleeding woman while on His way to save a dying girl, as a powerful example of how God's priorities may differ from our own. Dr. Smith also discusses how the Apostle Paul's plans were redirected by the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6-10), reminding us that even our well-intentioned plans may not align with God's will. https://bwaychurch.org

Send us a textEver find yourself busy all day yet feeling like you've accomplished nothing? You're not alone. As physicians, we face an overwhelming number of interruptions in our day - many of which didn't exist even a few years ago.What You'll Learn:Why constant interruptions are destroying your focus and productivityHow to set clear, kind boundaries with staff and colleaguesWhy multitasking is actually procrastination in disguisePractical strategies to handle both external interruptions and internal distractionsThe Interruption ProblemWe're bombarded with distractions that our brains aren't designed to handle - from Epic messages popping up during patient visits to constant texts and emails. These interruptions don't just slow us down; they can make patient care unsafe.When someone interrupts you with a non-urgent question:Don't respond immediatelyUse clear, kind language: "I can't answer that right now. Please refer to the clinic policy."Remember that each time you allow an interruption, you teach people it's okay to interrupt youSetting BoundariesYou can take control by:Teaching others when you'll respond (not immediately!)Setting specific times to check messages and emailCommunicating clear windows when staff can bring questions to you (e.g., "between 12-12:30 when I'm done with morning patients")Handling Internal DistractionsWhen you feel bored, frustrated, or low energy during your workday, you likely seek distractions (checking email, social media, grabbing unnecessary snacks). Instead:Recognize these feelings as normalTake quick, intentional breaks that serve you (deep breathing, jumping jacks, brief colleague interaction)Choose the "uphill" task (finishing notes now) over the "downhill" task (checking email)Remember: Finishing a note immediately after seeing a patient takes minutes, while coming back to it days later can take 10-15 minutes. Those small choices add up to major time savings.Take Action NowYou are not lazy or broken for struggling with focus. Our human brains seek dopamine and relief from discomfort. But by making different choices about how you handle interruptions and distractions, you can regain control of your day and finally feel accomplished when you leave work."I will not be stopped by interruptions anymore outside of medical emergencies. I will not let my brain get disrupted. I will not blame myself or say unkind words to myself. I will just choose to make some different decisions."

✨ Summary: Okay girl, let's talk. You keep thinking the interruptions are what's stopping your progress—your sick kid, your travel schedule, your energy dips, your injuries. But here's the truth: interruptions aren't getting in the way of your results—they are the way. In this episode, I break down why real transformation is forged inside the chaos—not in some perfectly planned, linear training program. I share how to train with life's mess, not against it. This is what I teach inside Warrior School—and it's the real reason my women keep showing up, evolving, and building the bodies they love. Let's reframe how you see setbacks, and start leading ourselves through them—because that's what creates power.

Do you ever wonder why we named our podcast Smart Living with Grit and Grace? Or what "grit and grace" actually means when used in tandem? Maybe you're just curious to know how smart living can change your life. Darlene and Julie are taking it back to the basics in this episode, chatting through the origin story of our nonprofit, Grit and Grace Life, and the mission God placed on Darlene's heart to create a space where women could feel seen and encouraged and gain wisdom through life's highs and lows by hearing other women's stories. They also break down what we mean by the phrases "smart living" and "grit and grace," defining and unpacking the intention behind each word. Whether you're new to our wonderful, welcoming side of the internet or you've been around with us for the last 10 years, we hope this episode re-centers your understanding not only of why Grit and Grace Life exists, but how the literal values of "grit" and "grace" can shift the way you experience the world as a woman of faith. Quote of the episode: “It's in us; that innate grit is in women, and we want to break that out, encourage it, mold it, and allow it to shine.”—Julie Bender Resources Related "Beginning Faith: Walking This Life with Grit, Grace, and God" "Bible Verses from the Grit and Grace Team on Grace" "A Woman's Grit Is Her Best Asset for Success" Mentioned Check out the Smart Living book series here!

What would it be to learn to help other people turn deeply towards their own lives? We've been asking this question in many ways over the past more than seven years, and this week we turn towards a great love of ours, the Thirdspace Professional Coaching Course, which is designed around this very question.  This year's course begins in June and applications are coming in. In this rich conversation we talk together about what it is to be an attentive, compassionate and wise support for the development of others, and what it might be like to learn with us over the course of a year. You can find out more about the programme on the Thirdspace website wearethirdspace.org This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Sometimes this reflection is prompted by professional circumstances, like a promotion, performance review, job change, or firing. Just as often it emerges from the “rest of life” – as through an illness, death, or the beginning or ending of a relationship. Whatever the origin, these experiences can feel like an opportunity or a burden, a chance to develop or a painful lesson…and often both. How we make sense of these experiences often determines what actions we take, and this, of course, influences our competence and fulfilment in life. Wouldn't it be wonderful, in these moments, to have someone by our side to ask skilful questions, listen deeply, be fully present with who we are and what we say, point out our blind spots, and custom-design practices to help us move forward? And wouldn't it be marvellous, too, to be this person for others? The Professional Coaching Course (PCC) exists in large part due to the primacy of these questions for ourselves and the people we serve.  Integral Development Coaching is what happens when two people develop a professional relationship that is grounded in mutual trust and respect, directed toward a set of clear outcomes, guided by presence, and informed by broad models about what it means to be a human being. It is a methodology. It is an integration project. It is a moment when you feel deeply connected to yourself and others, with a deep acceptance of everything, and you take practical steps to move forward in life. It is both simpler and more complex than it sounds.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Improving Interruptions During Our Prayers Subtitle: Only A Prayer Meeting Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 4/17/2025 Length: 7 min.

Could we now, dear friends, at this moment, resign our breath, and without further preparation enter upon the eternal world? Breathing out the prayer, "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit," could we now ascend from earth, made meet for the inheritance above? It should be so. Everything about us should be in such order that, if ourLord should come while we are in the field, we should not wish to go into the house, but could depart at once.

This week on Table Talk Pastors Kyle and Nick explore the theme of Divine interruptions. They reflect on how Jesus paused in His journey to Jerusalem to respond to Bartimaeus' cry and what that means for us today. Through personal stories, and scripture they discuss how unexpected interruptions can be powerful moments where God works-and how we can become more aware, obedient, and open to those Divine opportunities in our daily lives.

Is interrupting ever a good thing in coaching? Many of us have been taught that interrupting is rude, disrespectful, or unhelpful, but what if the right kind of interruption could be transformational for a client? In this episode, we explore the complex role of interruptions in coaching. We often get asked in coaching supervision whether interrupting a client is okay, or if it's a sign of being too directive. The truth is, it depends. Interrupting can be incredibly useful when done with intention and in service of the client. It can be a tool to help clients shift patterns, refocus, and move towards their goals. We discuss different types of interruptions, from gentle redirections to stronger pattern-breaking interventions, and how to contract with clients upfront to make sure interruptions are welcomed, not resented. We also highlight the importance of rapport, as well as when to hold space in silence instead of stepping in. By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident about when and how to use interruptions in coaching, ensuring they enhance rather than disrupt the coaching process. Interrupting can be a valuable coaching skill when used intentionally and in service of the client. Whether it's a gentle redirection or a bold wake-up call, the key is to use it with awareness, rapport, and purpose. If you want to refine your coaching skills and explore how different techniques, including interruptions, can enhance your practice, check out our Coaching Training Quiz at www.mycoachingcourse.com.   Key Lessons Learned Interruptions are not inherently bad; They can help clients stay on track and challenge unhelpful patterns. The key question is: Who is the interruption serving? If it's for the client's benefit, it can be a valuable tool. Interrupting can be part of a coaching contract; Discussing it upfront ensures clients are comfortable with the approach. Some clients want to be interrupted; They may even request it in pre-coaching questionnaires, especially if they know they tend to talk in circles. Strong rapport allows for more direct interruptions; Clients who trust you are more open to challenge. Silence is also a form of interruption; Holding space instead of jumping in can be just as powerful. Interruptions should be purposeful; Whether it's to redirect, challenge, or highlight a pattern, it should always serve the coaching process.   Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Interruptions in Coaching Decide Whether an Interruption is Needed Is the client looping? Are they going off-track from their goal? Are they avoiding something important? Frame Interruptions as a Coaching Tool In the chemistry session, discuss whether they find interruptions helpful. Use pre-coaching questionnaires to gauge their communication style. Use Gentle Interruptions for Redirection If a client is spending too much time on updates instead of their goal, you might say: "I'm noticing that we've spent a lot of time on updates. You also mentioned you want to focus on [goal]. What would be most useful right now?" Use Stronger Interruptions to Break Patterns If a client is stuck in repetitive thinking, a direct approach can help: "I'm going to stop you there. We've had this same conversation in three sessions now. What's keeping you stuck?" Ensure Rapport is Strong Before Using Direct Interruptions If a client trusts you, they'll be more receptive to a bold challenge. Be aware of cultural and personal sensitivities; not all clients will react well to strong interventions.

Is cutting someone off a sign of passion—or is it just plain rude?In this episode of Multifamily Collective, we're tackling a subtle but critical leadership habit: listening. When someone is interrupted mid-thought, it's not just frustrating—it can derail creativity, shut down collaboration, and trigger disengagement.Great ideas need space to develop. If a team member gets cut off before fully expressing an idea, the entire conversation loses the opportunity to evolve into something better. Worse yet, repeated interruptions can cause quieter voices to withdraw entirely.Leadership Challenge:✔️ Pause. Let people finish.✔️ If someone is cut off, step in and invite them to complete their thought.✔️ Set a culture where every voice is respected.Your next great innovation might be one unspoken idea away.How do you handle interruptions in your meetings? Drop your thoughts below!

Karen Suarez: How to Design Communication Channels to Protect Agile Team Focus, and Avoid Interruptions Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. As a first-time Scrum Master managing a team of 15-20 people, Karen focused primarily on protecting them from constant interruptions in their open office space. However, she soon realized this approach was creating barriers between the team and stakeholders. Karen developed strategies to balance protection with accessibility by establishing "office hours" when the team could be interrupted, creating dedicated communication channels (like Slack) to collect stakeholder questions, and always including the Product Owner when change requests came in. This balanced approach maintained team focus while keeping communication lines open. In this segment, we refer to the Coach Your Product Owner e-course, available to all who need to support their product owners with understanding, and adopting an Agile way of working. Self-reflection Question: How might creating structured interruption times help your team maintain focus while still remaining accessible to stakeholders? Featured Book of the Week: The Scrum Guide Karen recommends repeatedly reading The Scrum Guide throughout your Agile journey. She finds she learns something new with each reading as her interpretation evolves with experience. Karen also highlights "Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love" by Marty Cagan, which helped her better understand the Product Owner role and gave her practical tools to support POs in their responsibilities. About Karen Suarez  Karen is a dedicated Scrum Master with a long experience driving agile transformations and fostering high-performing teams. She is passionate about continuous learning, and excels in aligning agile practices with organizational innovation. You can link with Karen Suarez on LinkedIn.

God's plans often come as interruptions to our carefully constructed lives. Zechariah, a faithful priest, and Mary, a humble teenager had two starkly different responses to divine intrusions. Zechariah, wearied by years of unanswered prayer, struggled to believe God's promise of a son in his old age. Mary, however, received the unimaginable call to be […]

Interruptions can feel frustrating, but what if they are actually invitations from God? In Mark 5, Jesus was on His way to heal a dying girl when a desperate woman reached for Him in faith. Instead of rushing past her, He stopped, acknowledged her, and restored her completely.In this message, we see how Jesus modeled interruptibility—and how, when we allow our plans to be interrupted, God's mercy can flow through us to those in need. Faith in Jesus frees us to be people of mercy in a merciless world—but we must be willing to pause, listen, and act when He calls.Questions for Reflection:• How do you typically respond to interruptions in your day?• What would it look like for you to be more interruptible for God's work?
