Meetings often involve open-ended discussion among different types of people. For this reason, there is no easy formula that will guarantee success. Instead, you need to develop a range of skills and techniques that will help you express your ideas clearly and tactfully.<\/p>\n<p>In our last episode, we looked at giving, supporting, and contradicting opinions. In today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;ll cover more techniques of agreeing and disagreeing. We&#8217;ll also learn how to change the scope of a meeting, which is an especially important skill for the chairperson.<\/p>\n<p>Last time, we heard four managers &#8211; Alison, Stewart, Pat, and Nate &#8211; discussing how to reduce travel and transportation benefits. Today we will continue that dialog. The situation becomes a little more heated as the participants express their ideas with more force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat does the CEO of the company want to focus on?<br \/>\n2.\tHow does Alison respond to Stewart&#8217;s ideas?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat does Nate think about Stewart&#8217;s ideas?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/transcripts\/BEP190SN-Meetings2.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">PDF Transcript<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/quiz\/BEP190QIZ\/presentation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Quizzes<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/phrasecasts\/BEP190PC.mp3\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">PhraseCast<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/quiz\/BEP190POD\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lesson Module<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/bizpod\/BEP190-Mob.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Podcast MP3<\/a><\/strong>[\/tp]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Business English Pod lesson is the second of our three-part series on expressing your ideas clearly and tactfully in meetings.
