Office English / Ideas

What's the best way to share ideas at work?

To come up with ideas, I usually start by myself. It's helpful to then get some other people to develop your ideas.

I like to listen to conversations around me, maybe in meetings. What I'll then do is try and hear for things that could be missing.

In today's episode of Office English, we're talking about brainstorming and developing ideas.

So, we've just heard from our Learning English colleagues about how they talk about ideas at work. Do you enjoy coming up with ideas at work, Phil?

I do, and I think it's quite a big thing in our job.

I actually, I personally do like talking about ideas, but I find it really stressful if there's a lot of pressure to come up with an idea.

Do you find it easier to come up with ideas yourself or working together with other people?
