Some Skills Of Speaking In The Workplace

Imagine that you agree with the idea of a colleague. You may say, "This idea is good, but you must..." You are a beautiful and articulate person. Once you say this, your recognition will be greatly reduced. You can definitely express your appreciation and suggestions with a more specific hope, such as: "I think this proposal is very good, and if you change it a little here, it might be better..."

Various suggestions will be discussed during the company meeting. So you said to a colleague, "To be honest, I think..." In the eyes of others, you seem to emphasize 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 should report the progress of a project to your boss. You said to the boss, "I must get familiar with this job first." Think about it. This may make the boss (including yourself) feel that you still have a lot to do, but you will never feel that you have finished something. Such a speech attitude will give people a very pessimistic feeling, rather than optimistic. So it is suggested that you should say, "Yes, I am quite familiar with this job."

At a joint effort meeting, you proposed a proposal You said, "This is just my suggestion." Please note that it is absolutely not allowed! Because in this way, your thoughts and contributions Your own value will be greatly devalued. It was originally an idea conducive to cooperation and group awareness, but it only made colleagues feel that your self-confidence was not enough. It's better to say, "That's my advice."

One colleague He accidentally soaked a work plan and is apologizing to the customer. Of course, you know that he made a mistake and irritated the customer, so you said to him, "This is your fault, and you must take responsibility." In this way, it will only cause the other party to be bored. Your aim is to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides and avoid disputes. So, put your negative attitude into a euphemism and explain your reasons realistically. For example, "There is something wrong with you doing this. You'd better take responsibility for it."

You and your Interviewee Have different views on something. You said lightly: "I originally held a different view." A seemingly insignificant phrase did not highlight your position, but made you lose it. Similar expressions, such as "really" and "strictly speaking", simply say: "I have different views on this."

When talking to an important business partner on the phone, you say to him, "I will call you again this weekend or so." This gives the impression that you don't want to make an immediate decision, or even worse, that your work attitude is not reliable. It's better to say, "I'll call you tomorrow at 11:00 sharp."
