The ability to role play. Often we find ourselves in a position where the ability to put on an act helps us communicate. This is because the role we assume is a common one that the other parties in the conversation can relate to.
I've been fortunate to work with kids off the reservation or out of the cotton field; to individuals who listed their occupation as managing the family fortune. By assuming an appropriate role, I fit into their world view and was able to better influence their opions and actions.
