Have you ever been talked over in a work setting?

It might happen more than you’re comfortable with. If you’re working with others, you’ve probably learned to negotiate tough situations. You know that everyone’s personality is different and therefore everyone’s working style is different. Some people are more talkative than others, so you have to work to get a word in edgewise. Other people need to be prompted to add their fair share to a presentation or project. It’s helpful to learn how to deal with all types. You never know what you’re going to encounter on a job, and it’s helpful to know how to manage multiple kinds of people. But you also never want to sign yourself up for disrespect. You don’t have to sit there and take it just because someone is working with you. This could lead to all sorts of clashes, ones that you would be right to try to avoid.
