Interrupt them and don’t stop talking until they do, they have no problem doing that to us
I work on an all male strategy team and can confirm this is what’s required.
People (not even just men) who don’t stop talking are used to being interrupted and don’t usually take it personally, so just cut them off when it feels right, and agree with SC1 to continue until they silence themselves. It works for me and I’ve gained their respect!
Pro
Interrupt, wedge yourself into the conversation, then forcefully hold your position as you talk.
I think of it like managing a focus group; “Sorry to cut you off but I know all of our time is precious, and I think we understand your point.”
Have meetings where you only invite the productive people.
