Are you really bad at apologizing? Why is it hard to recognize your mistake, take ownership & correct it? Instead of letting a difficult situation define you, take this chance to show your strength, courage, and capacity for growth.
Welcome back to the Canned Fruit podcast with your hosts, Kia, Jessica, & Danielle!
In this incredible episode, we delve into why most people have a bit of a challenge with apologies, three barriers to apologies & how we identify with the different barriers. Moreover, we discuss the six components of a good apology, self-referencing versus external referencing apologies as well as recognizing your mistakes independent of how anyone else thinks.
Ultimately, we recognize the power of vulnerability, accepting that you need to apologize & to not expect anything in return. Let's embrace the opportunity to build stronger relationships through making amends!
