Discussions Around Sensitive Topics at Work

Professional Polish Tip from Deborah Rinner



"My colleagues talk about politics, religion and other sensitive topics", says Alison. "I don't contribute because my views are different. How can I professionally stay out of these discussions?"

Respecting the rights of others to hold their own beliefs does not require you to engage in uncomfortable conversations. Nor does it demand that you silently stand by and listen - which can communicate agreement.

Politely excuse yourself by using the magic words that will get you out of any conversation "Excuse me, I have to go to...".

In professional settings in particular, discussion around sensitive topics is risky, regardless of the views presented.
