Have you said “I’m sorry” even though the circumstance wasn’t your fault?

Have you started off a conversation or a presentation with “I’m sorry?”

Do you say "Sorry I’m running behind", "Sorry for taking up space or time in a group session", "Sorry for crying", "Sorry for not understanding", or "Sorry I am not available"?

Listen to understand why you over-apologize and the impact it can have on your life, health, and happiness.

Learn about common situations where you don’t need to apologize and mindful and strategic tips to help you stop overapologizing.

 

What if, instead of apologizing you said:

• "Thank you for waiting"

• "I appreciate your patience"

• "Hope you enjoyed a pause while helped someone else."

• "I’m curious about.."

• "I would love to know more about ..."

• "I wish you felt better."

• "I wish it was different ."
