In this episode, I uncover the truth behind the overuse of "I'm sorry" and its impact on your perception of empowerment and competence.Over-apologizing can have negative consequences, particularly in the workplace, as it can lead to a perception of weakness or lack of confidence.

Do you find yourself saying "I'm sorry" a lot? 

  • “Sorry, I'm late”; 
  • “Sorry, I'm busy right now”; 
  • “I'm sorry, I can't help you right now”; 
  • “Sorry, Can I interrupt?"

What are you sorry for? 

Stop Apologizing NOW and reclaim your power! If you've ever found yourself apologizing out of habit rather than necessity, this is the wake-up call you need.
