The Art of Expressing Opinions

In the corporate world, the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly and respectfully in meetings is not just a skill; it's an essential tool for success.

This latest episode of 'The Business English Podcast' dives deep into the realm of expressing opinions in business settings, tailored specifically for non-native English-speaking professionals.

Giving an Alternative View

Every meeting presents a potential crossroad of ideas, and sometimes, offering an alternative view is crucial. But how do you do this without undermining others?

The episode begins by teaching listeners phrases like,

“While I appreciate the current approach, I'd like to propose a different angle...”

This phrase not only shows respect for existing ideas but also smoothly introduces your perspective.

Supporting a Colleague’s Idea

Next, the focus shifts to the power of backing a colleague’s suggestion. This is where your language can foster an environment of collaboration and support. Phrases like

“I strongly endorse this concept, especially considering…”

help in reinforcing a colleague's idea while adding your own insights to it.
