Apologies are tricky. Even when we want to make amends, we can often make the situation worse by what we say (or don’t say), and how we say it. It takes humility and honesty to admit we are wrong and to apologize well. Although a simple, “I’m sorry” is better than not saying anything at all, there are better ways to acknowledge our mistakes.
Quite often, an apology is made without an explanation or recognition of the other person’s experience. Did they feel abandoned, less than, or disrespected? Did the apology make excuses for the behavior? Owning the mistake and accepting responsibility for the words, and actions (or lack thereof) takes a willingness to be vulnerable and sincere.
Today, we'll explore the power of a sincere apology, when it can heal relationships, build trust and make a real impact. Let's break free from apologizing for things that are beyond our control and learn the art of authentic apologies, empowering us to communicate with confidence and clarity.
