Ep 9. How to disagree at work in English - Business English lesson

Breakout Business English - Improve your vocabulary and confidence using English at work.

However, this is not the case. A lot of people worry that if they disagree with their co-workers then this could upset them or damage their professional relationships. However, if we do it right, disagreeing with colleagues when it’s appropriate can be great for your team, your career, and your reputation at work.
