Do you apologize for every little thing, even when you've done nothing wrong? Unwarranted apologies compromise your needs, especially your value need.

• How society influences the perception of your value
• How you can go against the social grain by owning your value
• The impact of unwarranted apologies in relation to social justice and privilege
• Why "sorry" is sometimes necessary to feel safe in certain situations
• Why it is OK to prioritize your safety over your other needs
• How to start to change this behavior and start better meeting your value need
• How your value need shows up in the workplace
• How your value need is connected to your personal power need
