- "Let's try this" - "What do you think..." - "Did I understand you correctly..." - "Good idea" - "Thank you for the idea" - "Are we going off topic?" / "Are we digressing?" - "Be fair, take it easy" (never use) - "It's your turn" / "You're next in turn" - "And what did we conclude?" - "Now tell me, what does each one of us do" - instead of "but" use "and at the same time"
