In this episode I will show you how slightly changing your vocabulary can make a big difference into how a phrase or sentence comes across or is understood in a business context. This is a really useful tool when working in English with certain cultures that use a less direct approach to get things done or when you need to navigate a tense or sensitive situation in English. The first part to this series you can find at episode #102
