What is the best way to stop women from speaking out of turn in professional settings, without making them feel disrespected?

It is best to let women speak when they have the floor, and to allow discussion to flow. If you need to intervene, a good method is ask for permission first such as “ Madam Mayor can you please tell us your thoughts on this?” This acknowledges the person's presence and gives respect while gently reinforcing expectations of who has the floor.

The best way to stop women from speaking out of turn in professional settings is to respectfully indicate that they should wait their turn to speak. There are various ways to do this, such as looking at the person who spoke last and gently nodding or raising a hand. If done without making the woman feel disrespected, she'll get the message that she should hold her tongue until it's her turn to speak.
