Technique 1: The Art of Digression

Meet the Meeting Sorcerer, master of the art of digression.

The Meeting Sorcerer's technique of choice, digression, is a delicate art form that allows the Meeting Sorcerer to lead discussions astray with ease.

By employing the art of digression, the Meeting Sorcerer can turn any meeting into a never-ending rabbit hole of irrelevance.

Here's how it's done:

• Start with a seemingly innocuous comment
• Gradually deviate from the topic
• Use rhetorical questions to lead the discussion off the rails
• Deploy an arsenal of tangential examples
• End with a resounding "That's not what I meant to say, but... "

Example: "Let's talk about the new marketing strategy..." "Did you know that cats have a special talent for playing the piano?"

This technique is not for the faint of heart, for once you start down the path of digression, there is no turning back.
