Jon Weiss, lawyer and conflict resolution expert, joins me to talk about how to apologize in a way that actually improves relationships. Instead of seeing apologies as weakness, Jon uses negotiation skills and empathy to show how “sorry” can become a tool for trust and connection.

We dig into why so many of us avoid apologizing (even when we know we should), how to tell when an apology is really needed, and whether it’s ever too late to say you’re sorry.

Jon also shares a simple framework to make apologies land without over-explaining, making excuses, or saying “sorry” for things that don’t require it.

Whether you’re trying to repair issues with your partner, set an example for your kids, or have more honest conversations in everyday life, this episode will help you feel more confident and empowered in how you make things right.

Jon teaches people to apologize using high level negotiations and problem solving skills regularly utilized by lawyers. As a graduate of Lewis & Clark School of Law, he is transforming the conflict resolution industry by empowering people with strategy and empathy to transform mistakes into relationship building opportunities. His training is essential for organizations seeking to build a powerful and everlasting positive culture; and for leaders who wish to lead with trust, accountability, and humanity.
