Let's Move On, Shall We? How To Redirect A Conversation That's Going South
- 6 years ago
It can be tricky to change a touchy subject of a conversation without creating an awkward moment.
But according to Business Insider, there are actually several good ways it can be done.
For instance, you could use an external distraction, like "Did you see that car speeding by?"
If appropriate, you could try bringing someone else into the conversation. "Hey, Sally, tell us what you think!"
Or, simply make small changes. Phrases like "that reminds me of," "yes, but," or "by the way," are helpful.
