There are so many different ways to agree and disagree. Often you find yourself repeating the same phrases over and over again. Life’s too short to be boring!
Here are some phrases that will help you express yourself more naturally and professionally.
If you agree with someone:
I totally agree with you…
I fully / completely agree…
I’m in total agreement…
I strongly agree!
I’m with you 100%.
Oh, absolutely!
No doubt about it!
If you disagree with someone (note the ‘softening’ language here- this is how we ‘elevate’ our professional language to ‘soften’ bad news, by using phrases like ‘I’m afraid’, ‘I’m sorry’, etc):
.
I’m sorry but I don’t agree…
I can’t go along with you on that…
I’m afraid I don’t see it that way…
I see your point, but I’m afraid…
I just can’t commit to that….
I get what you’re saying, however…
Ready to partially agree or bargain with someone? Here’s how:
I could agree with you up to a point, however…
I’d agree with you to a certain extent, but…
You may have something there, however…
That could be right, but…
You may be right, to a certain point, although….
See? There are so many options out there to choose from!
Try using one of these phrases every single day.
Remember, baby steps are still steps.
Here for you every step of the way!
Liefs,
