Another related technique as someone holding the floor is to make space for other introverts in the room when you have a frequent interruptor or long-talker. Asking that person to pause and make some space for other opinions from those who have not yet been heard can allow everyone in the room to catch up, collect their thoughts, and contribute more meaningfully to the conversation.
Thank you! And that's a great callout, Jeff. Anyone speaking can make that point and change the ground rules for the discussion, improving the dynamic.
Great points and techniques, Greg.
