Skills Of Workplace Speakers

Imagine you agree with the idea of a colleague. You might say, "this is a good idea, but you must..."

If you say this word, you will be greatly affected.

You can give a more specific hope to express your admiration and advice, for example, "I think this proposal is very good, and if it changes a little here, it may be better."

When the company meets, various proposals will be discussed.

So you said to a colleague, "to be honest, I think..."

In others' opinion, you seem to be particularly emphasizing your sincerity.

Of course you are very sincere, but why do you want to emphasize it? So you'd better say, "I think we should..."

You have to report to your boss about the progress of a project.

You tell the boss, "I have to familiarize myself with the work first."

Think about it. This may make the boss (including yourself) feel that you still have a lot of things to do, but you will never feel that you have done something.

Such a speech will give people a very pessimistic feeling, but not optimism.

So you'd better say, "yes, I am quite familiar with this work."

You put forward a proposal at a joint research meeting.

You are saying, "this is just one of my suggestions."

Please note that it is absolutely not possible to say so, because your thoughts and contributions, including your own value, will be greatly devalued.

It was a good idea for cooperation and group consciousness. Instead, let colleagues feel that your self-confidence is not enough.

It's best to say, "this is my advice."

One person

Carelessly put a work plan on the water and apologized to the client.

Of course you know, he made a mistake, annoyed the customer, so you said to him, "this is your fault, you have to take responsibility."

In this way, it will only arouse the boredom of the other side.

Your purpose is to reconcile the contradictions between the two parties and avoid disputes.

So, express your negative attitude in a euphemistic way, and explain your reasons in a practical way.

For example, "it's wrong for you to do this. You'd better take responsibility for it."

You and yours

They hold different views on something.

You said with a slight understatement: "I used to have different views."

A seemingly unremarkable little word, instead of highlighting your position, makes you lose your position.

Similar expressions such as "true" and "strictly speaking" and so on, simply say: "I have different views on this."

When talking to an important business partner on the phone, you say to him, "I'll call you again around the weekend."

This gives people an impression that you do not want to immediately cling to the board, or even worse impression that others will feel that your attitude is not reliable.

It's best to say, "I'll call you again at 11 o'clock tomorrow."
