I thoroughly enjoyed this post, AND find it to be very useful. Looking forward to reading more like this!
Personally, as a meetup organizer, I actually might also want to try practicing this skill with a friend(s), where one person plays the “monologuer” and the other person practices politely halting them. I think after a couple rounds of that, I might actually have the skill internalized at a level that I can easily utilize it when the situation demands.
