I found myself making this point to someone the other day and thought I’d share it here.
Conversation is NEVER just about the content it’s connected to grooming. What we say has an impact on others it’s a way of showing care for them – or not. If we forget that we become the stereotypical picky barrister, nitpicking over logic. We pretend it’s “nothing personal”. We act like we’re fighting fair, but we’re not.
Goodness knows I’m a culprit sometimes.
