This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about Apologizing — the reasons it’s worth doing, and the art of doing it well. We explore the value a good apology can have in healing conflict and shame, and the reasons our well-intended apologies sometimes don’t go as well as we’d like. We talk about the characteristics of good and not-so-good apologies, about private apologies and public ones. Finally, we offer you some experiments to help you evolve your own apologetic skills and sensitivities in ways that work for you.
