How to change the subject in a conversation
Be prepared!
If you know you'll be going into a situation where you'll be talking to a lot of strangers, think of 2-3 topics for small talk before you get there.
Choose topics that are of interest to many people-hobbies, sports, and tech gadgets are a good place to start.
Focus on the other person.
Since people like to talk about themselves, focusing on the other person can make it easier to change the subject. Choose a topic that you know is important to your conversation partner.
