When you get into a corner you say “Hey, look, a puppy!” – Although this sounds a bit silly, it is a great lesson when you are in a board room or in a meeting and backed into a corner with nowhere to go. You simply change the subject to release the tension and focus on something else that will possibly lead to some solutions instead of going down the same path over and over.
