Among the phrases are:
“Not everyone knows that… (or “I already knew that”)
Understand that when someone is going to tell you or explain something, it is elegant to say thank you or say “yes, now I understand better”. This occurs because, in addition to respecting the position of the other, you show that you are not arrogant and that despite being given an explanation, he now understands how such a thing works and will follow that form.
"I don't mean to brag, but..."
If you don't intend to brag, then don't use this type of phrase! When you boost your ego in front of other people and talk about yourself, they become uninterested in the subject and end up not listening to what you have to say. Therefore, choose to appear to be someone more humble and, consequently, exude more confidence, since that way, people will listen to you.
“I am certain that…”
Being sure about something is very good, it shows that you have knowledge of something. However, that's not a nice thing to say, especially if you're not so sure about such a thing. Choose to listen to your colleagues and position yourself according to the flow of the conversation, but always in a humble, confident and open way, so that other people can also give their opinion on what you said.
"I don't mean to offend you, but..."
From the moment you say that, you open a contradiction and will certainly offend someone. Remember what we said about humility? You have no authority to criticize or offend anyone!
Always use “I” above all else
Instead of seeming selfish and narcissistic, choose to use inclusive phrases like “we” or “our team”.
"Calm down, I'm just kidding"
When you use a negative comment or criticize a colleague, you soon want to use “it was a joke” to get away with it. But that makes your image look like someone who wants to be superior. So instead of saying something like that, how about saying nothing?
“You probably don't know this, but…”
This type of sentence shows that you are disdainful of other people's knowledge. Don't do that, make all ideas heard and respected in the same way.
“What do you mean you're having trouble with this? Too easy"
Don't try to sound like a know-it-all! Even if such a situation is easy for you, remember that everyone has their difficulties. Therefore, seek to teach by demonstrating the way you know how to do it.
“You will not make it”
When you say that the other will not succeed, you are being both insecure and arrogant. Know that the ideal is to give space for everyone to try and support others makes you a born leader.
“If I were you, I would do it like this…”
How about not wanting to appear arrogant? Be a person who teaches and pushes others, but be humble too. Nobody likes arrogant people.
