June 2018

Hello everyone,

Like this newsletter, the daffodils are arising late this year. Sorry.

As someone who’s been dealing with victims and perpetrators for decades, I still remain puzzled that apology, the most powerful tool we have at our disposal in dealing with victims, remains controversial and avoided. Speaking plainly, most of the world is still run by guys and guys hate apologizing. Leaders get dinged by other leaders for doing it.

A mythology exists claiming that to apologize is to be weak, even cowardly. It seems as if there is an apology dashboard up in the sky somewhere keeping track of apologetic people and organizations. Most failed crises responses are those attempted without empathy and without apology. When a sincere apology is offered, bad things start to stop happening. That’s why an apology is the atomic energy of empathy.

Apology is the Atomic Energy of Empathy

Apology is the toughest, often most dreaded, stressful and easily messed up act of human kindness. We see too many fake rather than sincere apologies.

Apology is Tough

That’s because we have become conditioned to doubt and question first. And that doubt comes in the form of canned questions:

From a long-time follower and disciple.

“Wow, a lifetime's wisdom distilled in a few easily readable pages - (View Trusted Strategic Advisor’s Manifesto) powered by actively tensed, assertive, positive language. Jim is a wonder. He doesn't back down. He teaches as he preaches. He gives more than he gets. Would that we had 100 consultants/trainers like him who everyone listened to day in and days out. What a sea change we would see in management behavior and public relations results. Bravo.”

IEEE Women In Engineering Annual Meeting in San Jose CA on May 22 talking about being heard. Having more impact, influence and access. Monica is a chip designer at Intel.”
