The seemingly contradictory term is a boardroom regular - a setting in which we usually hope to elicit opinions and give little offence. Yeah, nah provides an informal, easy way to agree, disagree, deflect attention off ourselves and move between topics with a little more tact than we would have twenty years ago.

It gives us a way to deal with uncomfortable topics, compliments and opinions in a culturally appropriate manner, and provides a useful segue between the question and the final response. The seemingly contradictory term is a boardroom regular - a setting in which we usually hope to elicit opinions and give little offence. Yeah, nah provides an informal, easy way to agree, disagree, deflect attention off ourselves and move between topics with a little more tact than we would have twenty years ago. At Hames Sharley, there are a large number of overseas-born team members. Jack Belfer, National Marketing Director, recalls with amusement hearing Yeah, nah with some confusion when he first arrived on our shores. “I sat in meetings wondering what this expression meant. In Mexico, we tend to use a lot of words to express what my Aussie colleagues were saying in just two words. It was quite confusing at first.” I wonder whether - in typical Aussie fashion – we have taken a slightly cynical, humorous expression and incorporated it into our business vernacular so that we don’t have to take the more formal route of other cultures to achieve the same outcomes. Where the Americans might utter a lengthy, well-delivered sentence, or the Japanese might accompany polite language with effusive body language, perhaps Aussies simply insert Yeah, nah for a quicker segue to our intended message. As we try to improve our own ability to communicate with others in all spheres of life, it is a useful exercise to step into the listener’s shoes and try to imagine what they perceive to be the message we are trying to communicate. If we are indeed striving to improve our image in a global market, perhaps it is time to take a step further and trade in Yeah, nah for the real message we are trying to convey.
