The only proof is in the response from the person you are speaking with. In other words, its the reaction and results that you get that prove whether you are diplomatic and tactful. Think back to any situation where you had to convince someone of your perspective or point of view into changing their mind; were they responsive and accepting, or were they challenging and difficult to sway? Their final choice should be a direct reflection of the amount of diplomacy and tact you operate with (or lack thereof).
