In this Business English lesson, you’ll learn how to defend your ideas when a colleague, manager or client challenges you in a meeting. Harry explains how to respond clearly, support your reasoning, deal with objections and show the possible consequences of a different decision without becoming defensive. This episode is for B2-level non-native professionals who want to learn English for work, improve their English for meetings and speak more clearly when their proposal, recommendation or plan is questioned.
In meetings, you may know exactly what you want to say but still need a few extra seconds to find the English. You may also hesitate because you’re not sure whether a phrase sounds natural, too direct or too weak.
Take my free Meeting English Quiz and try 8 real meeting situations. You’ll see which answers work well in English and where you may need better phrases for meetings.
If you’d rather work on your English with a teacher, book a free trial lesson. We’ll look at the situations you deal with at work and decide what you need to improve first.
