How Apologies Kill Our Confidence | Maja Jovanovic | TEDxTrinityBellwoodsWomen

Apologies are confidence killers. So, why are women apologizing all the time? Apologies matter, and with every unnecessary apology we give, we chip away at our confidence. I want to bring attention to how often women apologize, and for what reason they're apologizing. Incessant apologies for mundane issues change how people perceive us. I'm on a mission to turn our apologetic communication styles into confidence building lingo. Sociologist and Apology-hater. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
