Struggle with Apologies at work? TRY THIS | @ShadeZahrai #shorts

Struggle with apologies at work? You’re not alone…
Needlessly over-apologizing at work (i.e. saying “sorry” too often when it’s unnecessary) can dangerously undermine your credibility, especially where you’re already lacking in confidence or your credibility is in question (e.g. you’re the most inexperienced person in the team, you’re a minority or a woman in a male dominated environment).

Here are four examples of what to say instead of “sorry”:

– “Good catch, thanks for picking that up.”
– “Thanks for flagging, is there anything else I missed?”
– “Thanks for letting me know. I’ll update that now."
– “Thanks for noticing. Let me fix it.”

But what about those times when an apology IS justified?
What then?

If you’re uncertain, here are 5 suggested steps to a professional apology:

1️⃣ Explain what went wrong

2️⃣ Take responsibility

3️⃣ Apologize with sincerity

4️⃣4 Be Proactive about a Commitment to improvement

5️⃣ Close with poise

▶️ As a bonus you might also like to ask if there’s anything else you can do to rectify the situation. “How can I make this right?” Or “what else can I do to fix this?”

Save this post for when you might need it!!

I got the point: avoid saying "sorry" too much as it undermines our credibility

But your suggestions remind me of my friend. I once had a friend whom I'm now sure he is a genuine sociopath, and this is how he would communicate problems he caused 🤤 it's so hard for him to admit his misconducts, let alone to say sorry. He's also good at blaming others. I learnt the hard way to protect my self from false accusations and to stay away from him/such a person 🙈

He's now a politician 😂

People now days don’t apologize at all even though they know they did something wrong. Why masking the apology? just apologize, it’s simple. Be honest to yourself and to others it makes feel better.

[MobileMusic]

And if you are late to a meeting, just say, "Thanks for waiting". Don't apologize :)

Rest is a must between too much of work.
Rest revives body and mind
