How To Apologise Without Losing Authority


Listen Later

Most people avoid apologising because they think it weakens them.
It does not.

A well handled apology demonstrates emotional intelligence and leadership. You can be right about the facts and still need to repair the impact.


In this ManSpeak episode, I talk about how to apologise without over explaining, without grovelling, and without giving your authority away. This applies in work, leadership, and personal relationships.


I cover when an apology is actually needed, why saying “I’m sorry” matters, what to avoid saying, and how to repair relationships cleanly and confidently. I also share short, practical phrases that sound like real life, not rehearsed scripts.

This is about repair, not blame. Impact, not ego.


Your Next Move
Over the next week, stay aware of moments where a clean apology could restore ease or trust. When the opportunity presents itself, keep it simple and sincere.

I work one-on-one with professionals and individuals who want to strengthen their communication, leadership presence, and confidence in difficult conversations.
