Funny enough, your use of the two contrasting examples really helped make your central point come through very clearly :)

Stepping back - if you tend to require a specific example more often than not, it might be a sign you can benefit from engaging with more proactive curiosity.

That’s a nice term, “proactive curiosity”. I might steal that 😄

This is an incredibly thoughtful way of framing this. I really like the concept of self-awareness/other awareness.

It hits the same human skills as emotional intelligence but feels so much more....emotionally intelligent! Its so challenging to effectively communicate human skill growth. I always struggle to coach in a way Makes the person feel seen but not feel like a sociopath. Thanks for sharing!

This has happened to me many times because I like examples in general. Giving examples and having them be refuted one by one is frustrating.

Thanks for the advice
