A short YouTube video clip (uploaded by Ashish Kothari) advising listeners to stop quickly judging others' behavior and instead inquire into underlying intentions. The speaker urges assuming positive intent, getting curious, and exploring obstacles that may be driving behavior so the real issues can be addressed constructively.

Chapters

We are so quick to judge and blame. And I think what you're inviting us to do is rather than focus on the behavior and tell your own story, become the judge, jury and executioner. Rather than judge the behavior, inquire into the intention or what is going on with the person that might be driving the behavior. Yeah, absolutely. And really get curious, really inquire. Right. It requires us to assume positive intent, even if the behavior doesn't support that. But what we might find is there are things that are getting in the way that might allow us to actually address the issue, but not in the way we want, that tear us apart.
