Giving credit where credit is due

How do you use the above? Could you give me a casual conversation that uses it?
Thanks.

This is an example sentence given by my dictionary.

I don't especially like the woman but, credit where credit's due, she's very efficient.

credit where credit's due
    an expression which means that you should praise someone who deserves it, although you might dislike some things about them

Hope it helps.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. But I finally realised that it is really impossible if you don't put your money where your mouth is.
