I was explaining why I regarded getting their point across as a win. I finished that thought and said I would stop talking.\n\n## What did I say after asking for that moment?\n\nI came back to the point I wanted them to hear: “you got your point across.” Then I explained how I had given the good speaking experiences more room in my own thoughts.\n\nThat is an actual moment from one of my conversations. I asked the group for a little time, returned to the point, and brought my turn to an end.\n\n## Related answers\n\n- [What did I do when I saw an opening to speak to a group?](/joining-a-group-conversation-when-you-stutter)\n- [Do I have to fill every silence in a conversation?](/silence-in-a-conversation)\n- [What counts as a small speaking success?](/small-speaking-successes)\n\n[Find your question](/questions)\n",
