It's important to state your own opinion when a discussion is taking place, but also be really carefull when stating it. You must be assertive to avoid misuderstanding or problems.
- First, make eye contact with the other speaker and use a calm tone of voice; be polite (ask him how he is) and relaxed because there is no need to be nervous.
- Use a formal languaje and a coloquial style. This means there is a respect and close connection to the speaker resulting in a very calm and quiet situation.
- Never think his opinion is wrong because that may lead into problems, such as misurderstandings, aggresive and awkward situations.
- On the other hand, if he's wrong with a fact then you should say it and why, using as many arguments as possible. But using several arguments doesn't mean you have to speak a lot. Try to concrentrate as many as possible.
- Finally, say goodbye to the speaker politely and reflecting a very good mood.
Being assertive is very important because it will barely give you any kind of problems.
