The gap never comes
The meeting is moving fast. People are talking over each other. You have something worth saying, you wait for a gap, and the gap never comes. The topic moves on, and your point goes unsaid. Again.
Here is the thing: in fast meetings, gaps do not appear. You have to make one. Politely, but on purpose.
Three lines that claim your turn
Say it at a normal volume, then keep going: “Can I add something here?” Do not wait for permission after you ask.
The phrase is not really a question, it is a signal that you are about to speak, and most people will give you the floor.
Why it works
People are not ignoring you on purpose. They simply cannot hear a point you never started. A short, clear signal does two jobs at once: it interrupts gently, and it tells the room your point is brief.
“Quick point on that, then I will hand it back” is the part that does the heavy lifting. It promises you will not take over, which makes people happy to give you the moment.
