Description

We're diving into two topics on the podcast today: How to stop apologizing when you have nothing to apologize for AND getting unstuck in your work and life. Shira Miller is an expert on both! She's also a TedX speaker, certified coach, author and the Chief Communications Officer at National DCP. Let's be clear - there are reasons you apologize ALL THE TIME. And there are also consequences - on your career, how you're heard, and how you feel on the inside (it's not good for your soul to constantly apologize for yourself!).

We dive into:

• Recognizing your own "apology speak" - it goes way beyond just "sorry" (I learned a few new things with this one!)
• How to increase your confidence so you can share your ideas without apologizing for them
• Strategies to decrease chronic apologizing
• Shira's definition of "stuck" - and how it can help you get UNstuck
• How forgiveness plays a role in getting unstuck - both forgiving others AND forgiving yourself
