101. How To Be Awesome At Saying "I'm Sorry"

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today on the podcast, we’re talking about two simple words that can be oh so hard to say.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m sorry. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But really, why is that? </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are all human, we are going to make mistakes and we can’t avoid saying “I’m sorry” because we have so much ego wrapped up in not being wrong.  </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s like you’re owning up to whatever happened, you’re acknowledging your fault it in and you allow the person to move on and you allow yourself to move on too.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lindsay has done podcasts on forgiveness before but this one is a little different.  It’s all about establishing a relationship with words “I’m sorry.”  It often can’t change what happened, but it can change how long it goes on, or the resentment attached to it and also… it shows that you are being upfront and honest and vulnerable in the best way. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’re talking all about the I’m sorry’s today!</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some of the points Lindsay covers:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When to say I”m sorry, what to say, what not to say…. and what does a proper apology even look like? </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In business and in life… it’s a sign of strength not weakness.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's hard because we get defensive.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you’re sort of ashamed - its hard to continue. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you know that you’ve wronged somebody- you just feel like something isn't right. Like a rock in your shoe.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A weight is lifted once you apologize.</
