Assume Positive Intent
There are many times when we leave discussions, read an email, or hear about a transgression that took place and we automatically assume the worst. We assume that others had ill intentions. We create negative stories in our head and this can have a tremendous impact on our emotional, physical, and mental well being. These assumptions can also have a negative effect on us and can greatly impact our relationships with our students, the parents of our students, and our coworkers. What if we change the way we view these interactions. What if we assume that people had the best of intentions and wanted what was best for us. How would this effect our well being? How would this effect the relationship with those we serve. This episode focuses on assuming positive intentions and the impact that this can have.
