Argue Like a Pro

This episode equips professionals with the verbal arsenal to argue points effectively in the corporate arena. Let’s dive into the art of persuasion, Business English style!

Mastering the Art of Disagreement

Disagreeing doesn't have to be discordant. In the high-stakes world of business, how you disagree matters just as much as why. Learn to navigate disagreements with the finesse of a diplomat by using phrases such as:

• "I see it differently because..."
• "Perhaps we could look at it from another angle..."

Disagreement, when done right, can lead to better outcomes and mutual respect.

Tactful Counterarguments

The key to a successful counterargument is tact. It's about acknowledging another's viewpoint while firmly presenting your evidence. Phrases like:

"While that is one perspective, the evidence suggests..."

...can show your engagement and understanding while steering the conversation towards your viewpoint.

Soft Skills for Hard Debates

It's not just what you say; it's how you say it. Our episode goes beyond phrases and delves into the soft skills that make or break an argument:

• Active Listening
• Empathy
• Clarity
• Patience

Learn to employ these skills to turn heated debates into constructive dialogues.

Phrases to Avoid
