Summary
In this week’s episode, Barb and Michelle tackle the topic of apologies, and how to spot the difference between a real one, and a fake one. They also distinguish between apologizing and making amends and which practice is more powerful in mending relationships. Follow us @MichelleMaros and @Peaceful_Barb and share your experiences with us @BarbKnowsBestPod or at www.michellemaros.com/podcast.
Episode Notes:
Here is a quick overview of what IS NOT an apology:
- I am sorry but….
- I apologize if what happened upset you…..
- I regret that happened…..
- I apologize if you….
A real apology doesn’t make excuses. It takes responsibility and makes changes to the behavior.
