Beware of these words, if you certainly do not want to spoil the impression of themselves.

What not to say at work?

1. "Just"

We like to use the word "just" in the sentence: "I'm just worried that ..." "I was just wondering ...". We do it when we feel embarrassed or apologize, but from the word-parasite need to resolutely get rid of.

2. "Sorry, but ..."

There are times when apologies are indispensable, but many abuse this word and even apologize for having asked the question: "Excuse me, but I have to ask ..."

3. "In fact,"

This phrase sounds like you're surprised by their disagreement. "In fact, I think ..." "In fact, I do not agree ..." and many other examples show that the credibility of your speech, it does not add.

4. "Do you understand?"

In fact, it is not talking about what you talked about some difficult things, and your audience need to think about them, and that you have doubts in your own words. Ask directly: "Do you have any questions?"

5. "I am no expert, but ..."

Usually this phrase is used to take a pause for reflection. But rather in another way, for example: "Here are my thoughts ...". Otherwise, you make your opponents refer to your words with a grain of salt.
