Executive Fluency: Phrases to Hedge Recommendations Without Sounding Evasive

Do your recommendations ever sound prudent to you—but evasive to a board? In this lesson, you’ll learn to hedge with authority: quantify confidence, anchor to policy and data, set conditional triggers, and time-bound next steps—without diluting accountability. Expect concise explanations, SME-vetted examples and dialogues, plus targeted exercises (MCQ, fill‑in, and corrections) to hardwire boardroom-ready phrasing. By the end, you’ll convert vague caution into auditable, client-aligned commitments that protect mandate and trust.
