? “I’m sorry, but I think we should consider another approach.”

? “Let’s explore another approach that may be more effective.”

? “I just feel like this isn’t going to work.”

? “Based on the data, this approach may not yield the best results.”

? “I don’t know if this is a good idea.”

? “We need to assess the potential risks and benefits of this idea.”

? “I might be wrong, but we could try this.”

? “Here’s a strategy we should consider implementing.”

Your language is key to your success.
