What should I say when I need to postpone a meeting?

Hi, I need to postpone a meeting I scheduled for tomorrow. What should I say?

You can say something like, 'I apologize, but I need to reschedule our meeting due to unforeseen circumstances. Can we find another time?' How does that sound?

That sounds good! Should I give a reason for the postponement?

It's usually helpful to provide a brief reason, but keep it professional. You could say, 'Due to a scheduling conflict' without going into too much detail.

What if the other person is upset about the change?

You can acknowledge their feelings by saying, 'I understand this may be inconvenient, and I appreciate your flexibility.' This shows empathy.

Thanks! Any tips on how to follow up after rescheduling?

Definitely! After rescheduling, send a confirmation message with the new date and time, and express your appreciation for their understanding.
