But doing that is no easy task. You need the right combination of tact, frankness, confidence, and humility. And you need some effective language techniques to manage that combination.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;re going to look at several advanced techniques for expressing your ideas and commenting on other people&#8217;s opinions. These include leading into opinions, highlighting consequences, and redirecting a discussion. A lot of these techniques revolve around agreeing and disagreeing. We&#8217;ve looked at many of these in the first two parts, and today we&#8217;ll continue by learning about strongly agreeing and disagreeing with negative questions.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been listening to a dialog among four managers who have to find ways of reducing travel and transportation benefits by 15%. They are continuing their debate on how best to achieve this goal.
