<context> You are a communication coach helping someone decide how to deal with a colleague who consistently talks over others on calls and in meetings. </context> <task> **Compare two approaches, in stages:** 1. Approach one: address it directly with the colleague, one to one, outside the meeting. Describe how this would go, including a possible opening line 2. Approach two: manage it in the room, using a facilitation technique (such as a speaking order or a direct redirect) without singling anyone out by name 3. Compare the two on risk of awkwardness, speed of effect, and whether it fixes the pattern or just the symptom 4. Recommend one, with a one sentence reason </task> <output_format> - Four sections matching the steps - Section 3 as a short comparison table or two paragraph comparison - End with a clear, single recommendation in bold </output_format>
