How do you disagree with someone without creating an argument? Why do some people challenge ideas so confidently while others stay silent, or come across far more aggressively than they intended? In both professional and personal life, the ability to disagree well is one of the most valuable communication skills you can develop. Done well, it builds trust, earns respect and leads to better decisions. Done badly, it can damage relationships or shut conversations down completely.

Join Violetta, a TEDx Public Speaking coach, for a highly interactive workshop where you'll learn, and immediately practise, the art of respectful and intelligent disagreement. You'll discover diplomatic language that helps you challenge ideas without offending people, techniques for sounding confident while remaining warm and likeable, and how to stand your ground without becoming defensive. Through a series of guided exercises and live debate rounds, you'll put these skills into practice with everything from light-hearted opinions to genuinely controversial topics, leaving with practical communication tools you can use at work, in friendships and in everyday conversations.

在沟通里，怎样才能既表达不同意见，又不把气氛搞僵？为什么有些人可以很自然地提出质疑，而有些人要么沉默，要么一开口就显得太冲？无论是在工作还是生活中，“好好反对别人”的能力其实是一项很关键的沟通技能。用得好，可以建立信任、提升专业度、推动更好的决策；用不好，则容易让关系变紧张，甚至直接把对话关掉。

这个由 TEDx 演讲教练 Violetta 带领的互动工作坊，会让你一边学一边练，直接把“如何优雅表达不同意见”用出来。你会学到一些既不冒犯别人、又能清晰表达立场的说法方式，如何在保持友好语气的同时显得坚定，以及怎样在不防御的状态下坚持自己的观点。过程中会有一系列练习和即兴辩论，从轻松话题到稍微有争议的内容都会覆盖，让你把这些技巧真正带走，用在工作、朋友聊天甚至日常沟通里。
