The secrets of successful presentations and negotiations".
3. "I didn't have time for this"
Most often it is simply a lie. If you have not found the time to complete the task or forgot about it, it is better to assign a date by which it will definitely be done instead of having to explain why to be for it too late.
4. "Just"
"I just wanted to check", "I'm just thinking" — the use of this word might seem harmless, but distracts focus from what you are saying. "When we say "just", we are afraid that we would be stronger than we are", says Moore. — Talking like a defensive position, and prefers to look a little whiny and insecure". Get rid of that verbal parasite, and your speech will sound more convincing.

7. "I'm not responsible"
Even if this is not your responsibility, willingness to help means that you are a team player and can go the extra mile for a common cause. In the end, we are all responsible for it.
8. "You were..."
These accusatory reproaches rather inspire a sense of shame. Pronouncing them as if pointing his finger at the guilty, ' says Pryce. It is better to use a positive approach, for example: "In the future, I recommend...".
9. "I could be wrong, but..."
Price calls these words devalues. This means that they immediately reduce the impact of what you are going to say. "Avoid any introductory phrases that reduce your credibility and the value of your contribution to the work," she recommends.
10. "Sorry, but..."
