Leasha:

It’s always a tricky one, because you don’t want to stop someone from speaking.

Because it feels pretty horrible as well, especially if they’re talking about something heavy.

But, I do try to just- I’ll use their name; so I’ll be like “Cal, that’s a really good point that you just made there”

and then I’ll move on to somebody else.

Cal:

That is so good.

The little tip that I want to add to that – is reminding them…

“oh, because we’ve got 60 minutes and we’ve got six people on the call

and we want everyone to have a good time; enough time to talk.

So it’s sort of giving them like a time limit and a reminder of how many people are in the call.

 
Leasha:

And to thank them as well, be like “Thanks for that Cal…

that was really great. Thank you for sharing that

(cheekily) and then move on to someone else.

Cal:

[singing] Ba da ba, ba da ba, ‘shut up’!

[Cal and Leasha laughing]
