Vivi.A

Sometimes,direct English can sound surprisingly aggressive or impolite to a global audience. To protect your professional relationships and pitch ideas confidently in high-stake meetings, subtle changes in word choice make a huge difference.

Here are 3 Diplomatic Phrasal verbs to swap into your vocabulary for a premium confident voice:

  1. Instead of "Change" → Use "Pivot to"
  • Average: "We need to change our marketing plan immediately."
  • Diplomatic: "To maximize our reach, let's pivot to a digital-first strategy."
Instead of "Cancel"→ Use "Call off"
  • Average "We are going to cancel tomorrow's product alignment update."

  • Diplomatic: "Due to a scheduling conflict, we will have to call off tomorrow's update.

Instead of "Explain" → Use "Walk me through"
  • Average:"Explain this budget proposal to me."
