I’ve been in countless business meetings with professionals where they do these two things when they speak, and it unintentionally undermines their credibility.
Instead of just sharing ideas, thoughts or perspectives with confidence at work, people often say something to ‘soften’ their communication.
Things like:
• “I JUST want to say…”
• “I’m no expert, but…”
• “This might be a silly idea…”
• “I haven’t really thought this through…”
• “Sorry if this is going off track…”
While this self-effacing language is often use to create a more collegial or collaborative atmosphere among those you work with, it actually diminishes your message and weakens your position.
Scrap them! Be confident when you communicate. It WILL make a difference to how you’re perceived.

Wow Shade, thank you so much for making and sharing your videos, they are so great! Is there any book you recommend that summarize your suggestions?
Could you please help understanding what to use instead of softeners? Or it is like we have to just go ahead and speak your mind without being apologetic
Right, Nice idea 💡
To be able to say that, one needs to do the homework. And if someone consistently communicates only after the homework is done thoroughly, credibility invariably improves.
Essentially this advice is about work culture than the language.
Powerful!!!
