What is the motivation behind peers during a business meeting giving you unsolicited advice?

Question

A co-worker of mine constantly makes suggestions to me during meetings. It is driving me crazy! How do I potitely tell this person that I am NOT looking for suggestions. Especially since the suggestions are made in front of the group and are not very helpful.

Answer 1

He is probably trying to impress others at the meeting. You could say, "Please don't interrupt. I'm trying to make a point."

Answer 2

Lol...just like that...go and tell him ...that u would appreciate if he doesnt give u this advices in public..otherwise u think he has bad intentions with u...lets see how he reacts
