We’ve all heard someone share a belief which we don’t quite agree with.
But even if you have a close connection, it can be hard to raise your perspective with them out of caution of how you would say it and how they would receive it.
In these moments, I’ve found it helpful to respond with the question, “Can I challenge you on that?”
It’s a softer way to share that you see a different perspective.
It’s also framed in a way that encourages an active discussion.
And most importantly, it’s delivered as an invitation which the person can decline.
