We all screw up. It happens. But afterwards, do you apologize TOO MUCH? Like…over n’ over n’ over again, you keep apologizing? IT’S NOT NECESSARY. Over-apologizing makes you look weak, (and yer not, you just screwed up). They don’t want to hear it. You are making this situation worse.

Here is how confident people apologize:

1. Be accountable for your screw up: “I’m so sorry I was late. Your time is valuable and I screwed it up. This is 100% my fault”. NOW STOP.

2 Be part of the solution instead of apologizing 3 more times. They don't want to hear it. 

“I can stay late tonight to work on this.”

“How about if I speak to your associate if they are free now?”

“Allow me to run that report for you and we can then meet tomorrow.”
