If the discussion is not moving in the direction you want
In the following example questions x is used to represent the missing topic of conversation.
An example of questions if the discussion is not moving in the direction you want are:
- have you considered x? (you can give an idea)
- my understanding is x (especially helpful if you are certain of a fact and want to suggest this in a way that will not create ill feeling)
- I have heard that x can be helpful, could we try that?
- if you can not do x, what could you do instead?
