Do you ever say sorry when you’re late to a meeting?

It’s easy to be apologetic to our coworkers, but this can disempower you as a person. There are a few alternatives to ensure you stay empowered while being courteous, such as “thank you for waiting for me to begin”. 

Amanda Blesing dives into how to not diminish your power in the workplace, and eliminate credibility killers. She also explains how people can fall into a mindset that forces them to pay the “loyalty penalty” and why this mindset is so dangerous.
