153. Essentials for Professionals: Tell Your Boss Something is Wrong Without Being Offensive (Hopefully!)

Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description

THIS IS AN ANNA WITH 2Ns EPISODE BEFORE I REBRANDED TO CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH. I RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH EPISODES.
This  episode was suggested by a listener and I think it could help you too. Highlighting when there has been a mistake can be an awkward. You don't want to blame someone too much, you understand that these happen but it's also important that you feel comfortable to bring up issues and problems even when you are with your bosses or people in the company who are more senior than you. In this episode I will tell you how you can do this and also things to avoid. Of course, it's important for me to mention that even with these phrases, people could be offended. It depends on the situation, the context and the culture. However, I hope this serves as a guide which you can use as a reference if and when you have these suggestions.
