BEP 32 ADV - Meetings: Brainstorming & Discussing Ideas

In this Business English Podcast lesson we take another look at the language used to suggest and discuss ideas in meetings and teleconferences. We’ll also provide further language for diplomatic disagreement and agreeing action points at the end of the meeting.

The teleconference is run by Jim as a type of meeting called a “Brainstorming” meeting, which is useful for gathering and openly discussing ideas as the format is more relaxed.

This podcast is targeted at our Upper Intermediate and Advanced listeners. If you’re not quite up to this level yet, we suggest first listening to BEP 30 & 31 to build familiarity with the basic functional expressions used to make, accept and reject suggestions in meetings.
