When we talk, we like to talk such that new sentence is related to the previous sentence is some way. People use a variety of phrases for the same. When I started working, I realized the culture was to use ‘so’. Every sentence started with ‘so’ and hence (and I use another such word) could be linked to the previous one. It was a smart way to start a sentence. Now as I have joined college (specifically, a B-school), I’ve come across another more interesting phrase – ‘having said that’. What is ‘that’, whether ‘that’ is related, whether it was required to say ‘that’ to be able to say the next sentence, are all irrelevant questions. Interestingly, it’s my communications professor who first introduced me to this phrase. Maybe it’s the way to go in the managerial word. When unable to connect, use ‘having said that’.
Having said all of this, I am wondering whether to and how to incorporate this into my conversations!
