12 Phrases That Help Senior Executives Hold the Room
Language for meetings, negotiations and boardrooms where English is the working language, but not always your first.
For senior executives working in English as a second language, the gap between what you know and what the room hears is rarely about fluency. It shows up under pressure: when a difficult question lands, when a discussion starts drifting, when you need to disagree or hold your ground.
This is not a list of useful English phrases. It is a short reference for already-capable leaders, and each phrase does a specific job.
- Buying time without losing authority
- Redirecting without conceding ground
- Closing a point so it lands and stays
- Challenging the room without losing the room
