" Two of my coworkers are always having side conversations during our weekly staff meetings, which makes it tough for me to focus. Is there a nice way to shush them?  To silence chatty Cathys, give them a subtle hint. P.S. If you&amp;#039;re having difficulty concentrating, don&amp;#039;t be afraid to speak up. Your impulse might be to try and hush the talkers on the spot (&amp;quot;Shhh\u2026I can&amp;#039;t hear!&amp;quot;), but that can be an annoying interruption in and of itself and could create awkwardness between you and your colleagues. A better idea: Simply say to whoever is supposed to have the floor, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sorry, could you repeat that? I missed that last comment.&amp;quot; The side talkers will almost certainly get the message. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
