Why not just… apologise?
New podcast interview out now!
It sounds so simple. It’s what we teach our kids to say when someone is hurt, even if the harm was unintentional. But inside many workplaces, apologies are often treated as a formal concession of legal liability, rather than a basic act of humanity. This is an insightful conversation about workplace harm, common institutional responses, leadership, power, psychosocial safety, and trauma recovery. It explores what leaders can do differently early on to potentially avoid issues escalating into lengthy, costly battles. Available now on Apple, Spotify and Youtube.
