Your Etiquette Minute - Episode 8: The Art of A Genuine Apology

from Dr. Decorum: The Highest Degree of Etiquette · host Charlene Sims, Ph.D.

Learn the three essential parts of a sincere apology that actually repairs relationships and builds trust. Discover why “I’m sorry you feel that way” isn’t a real apology, understand the difference between explaining and excusing, and master the formula that transforms defensiveness into genuine accountability. A true apology acknowledges what you did wrong, takes full responsibility without justifications, and commits to doing better—because the ability to apologize well isn’t weakness, it’s the mark of a mature, gracious person.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
