Workshop Summer Special: “Stop saying ‘sorry’ training”
Don’t. Apologise. For. Who. You. Are.
You deserve to take space. A lot of space. The way you are. Start today by no longer downplaying and cushioning your words in meetings and in emails just to be “nice”. Your contributions need to be seen and heard. The way they are - because they are unique.
Do your sentences often start by “Sorry, I just wanted to…”?
Sorry, I said „sorry“ again: the word "sorry" can make us look small although we are strong women. It can make us feel bad although sometimes it’s the other person who should be sorry. But once we replace that tiny word by powerful alternatives, it's magic to see how much our confidence as women will increase!

Stop trying to be modest training
In this one-hour training...
Learn about the most common blockages that keep us in the "good girl" mode;
Learn how make the mindset shift towards "I deserve" - without feeling arrogant;
I'll show you "my" 3 steps I took to achieve even "unrealistic" goals.
Let's be honest: We women are real champions at downplaying our success stories and talents. We tend not to feel comfortable talking about ambitions and asking for "more". At the risk of intimidating someone, we rather hold ourselves back.
"I'm not saying sorry for feeling tired."
"I'm not going to say sorry anymore for expressing myself."
"I will not say sorry anymore for being assertive, especially with men. Because a lot of time men can feel uncomfortable."
"I am done saying sorry for the way I feel."
"I'm not saying sorry when I want to state my opinion".
"I'm fed up with saying sorry for feeling responsible for other people being upset about what I said. It is not my responsibility."
"I will not say sorry anymore when I don't want to join something."
"I'm not gonna say sorry for being sensitive."
"I will stop saying sorry for saying no when people ask me to do something."
"I'm not going to say sorry if I don't agree with something."
"I'm not gonna say sorry for asking for support when I am feeling alone."
"I'm not going to say sorry for other people's incompetence."
"I'm not going to say sorry anymore for speaking "too often" or for saying my opinion more than someone would really feel comfortable with".
"I am not sorry that talking about race makes other people feel uncomfortable. That is not my fault."
"I am fed up with saying sorry for moving away from my parents. It's not my job as the eldest child to fix my parents. It's their job to fix themselves."

Stop thinking what “other people could think” training
Welcome to your “Stop saying sorry training”.
Studies say that women actually apologise much more often than men. Sometimes out of habit, often out of politeness, but also out of hidden feelings of guilt or insecurity. We even apologise when we are not really sorry: for example before we start speaking in meetings or when we ask for something in a shop.
If your sentences often start by “Sorry, but I…” or “I’m so sorry, could you…”? - be it in emails, on the phone or in meetings: Please don't blame yourself. I have created this short training for you to help you become aware of those moments - and to give you new expressions that will make you feel more confident.
Take the space you deserve in meetings and emails.
Here’s your toolkit.

As a former speechwriter for politicians I have seen how powerful language is. Each word makes an impact.
And after I realised myself that I said "sorry" more often than my male colleagues and changed it for myself, I couldn't stop seeing female colleagues around me who unconsciously downplayed their important contributions in meetings by saying "sorry" when they started speaking.
If this could be you, too, then: high five 🙌. Because - as many of my workshop participants already confirmed - it's a matter of training to stop saying sorry.
Feel for yourself how insanely powerful you feel when you no longer apologise for who you are and for what you want to say. Yeah!
