So this describes a gift I've admired in my mom. Specifically, she has a way of making a point without making an enemy when she needs to address an issue with people or simply call them on their crap.
I don't know if it's just natural or if she had to work to get there, but she's expert-level good at taking a conversation where it needs to go without making any move that causes the other person to become offended and close his or her ears to the much-needed truth.
I want to live life more skillfully in this area.
Recognizing and talking about it now is a good step for me, and I think what will help is if I utilize the great model I've seen and go into confrontations by first imagining how mom would approach such a moment.
