Should I just tell them about my personal development projects and hopefully they'll catch on? Is it ever alright to offend somebody to get them to realize certain things? I think with some people just 'talking casually' with them doesn't catch their attention, so I know "it depends", but if anyone has any other suggestions, tips, techniques that actually works for you, let me know! Thanks in advance.
Enroll the person in doing something WITH you. Is there something you might genuinely have to work on in parallel with whatever you see?
