Wii20101010-Entry094-Who’s Sorry Now?

Published: October 10, 2010

We begin a new series on the subject of Apology.

We have all experienced the disappointment of a poorly given apology. And we aren’t always successful in apologizing to others. Yet, failed apologies can hinder, harm, and even destroy relationships.

How can we improve? What apologies will best repair your relationships?

Trudi begins this session with the introductory material for this teaching arc. We will be using various materials, including The Five Languages of Apology by Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas, and Effective Apology by John Kador.
