This is a way to bring people back from getting lost in the weeds. Which hill do we want to die on in this argument? Are we going to get caught up in a $250 issue on a million-dollar property?
Adding the word “here” is especially effective. It focuses them on looking at where they are and could pull them out of the emotional state.
“What’s Your Intention Here?”
