English term
in spelling out
Melinda has been an amazing professional partner throughout the years. She encouraged me to consider how people learn to think like leaders and challenged me to move beyond my comfort zone ***in spelling out*** the practical implications of my ideas. She gave me space and confidence when I had to take a break from the project. She also showed remarkable patience when my perfectionism reared its head near the finish line.
Does it mean she urged me to spell outthe prasctical implications... or does it mean she spelled out the practical implications of my ideas to urged me to move beyond my comfort zone?
Thank you.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

She helped me: how did she help me? In spelling out...
As Cilian says, it would sound more natural to me to write 'by spelling out' — but this is US EN, and the writer might have been thinking of it along the lines of answering the question "In what way did she help me?"
Something went wrong...
