How smart people say 'change the subject'
To change the subject smoothly, add a short signal before the new topic. Use "Speaking of which" when the new topic connects to the last one, "Before I forget" for a quick useful point, and "Now on a different note" for a completely new topic. These signals tell the listener that the topic is changing, so the switch doesn't feel rude or random.

Explicación de cada frase
-
Speaking of which. Tono: Smooth and casual
Use it when something the other person just said connects to your new topic. Don't use it for a topic with no link to the conversation, because the listener will look for a connection that isn't there.
“Speaking of which”
-
Before I forget. Tono: Friendly and polite
Use it to add a quick, useful point, often near the end of a conversation or before you leave. Don't use it to start a long discussion; the phrase promises something short.
“Oh, before I forget.”
-
Now on a different note. Tono: Clear and direct
Use it when you move to a fully new topic, for example from small talk to plans or from one work item to another. It sounds organized, so it works well at work. It can feel a little formal with close friends.
“Now on a different note, you and I, promotional lunch, one o'clock.”
-
By the way. Tono: Casual and light
Use it to add a side point in relaxed conversation or a message. Avoid it for serious or bad news, because it can make important news sound unimportant.
-
That reminds me. Tono: Natural and warm
Use it when something in the conversation makes you remember another topic. It works almost everywhere. Don't use it if nothing really reminded you; it can sound like an excuse to talk about yourself.
-
On another note. Tono: Neutral and organized
Use it like "on a different note" to start a new topic in a meeting, email or conversation. It is a little softer than "Now on a different note" because it has no "now."
Errores frecuentes

No suena natural
Speaking of which, my sister is getting married. (after a talk about the weather)Mejor así On a different note, my sister is getting married.
"Speaking of which" needs a link to what was just said. For a new topic with no link, use "on a different note" or "by the way."
-
No suena natural
On the other hand, any plans this weekend?Mejor así On a different note, any plans this weekend?
"On the other hand" compares two sides of the same idea. It doesn't start a new topic. "On a different note" does.
-
No suena natural
Before I forget, I want to talk about our whole project plan for next year.Mejor así Before I forget, the deadline moved to Friday.
"Before I forget" promises a quick point. Use it for one short piece of information, not a long discussion.
