It's super useful for showing you've been listening and building on collective wisdom, not just waiting for your turn to speak. So collaborative! 👯♀️
💡 **Pro Tip!** This phrase is fantastic for connecting your thoughts to a previous speaker's point, making your contribution feel like a natural extension rather than a sudden change of topic. It shows respect for what others have said. You can also use it to agree and elaborate: 'To piggyback on what Sarah said, I also think...' ✨
