Apology Letters to Colleague.
Writing a Thoughtful Apology Note

I want to start by apologizing for the way I handled that project update meeting yesterday. I realize I interrupted you several times and didn’t give you the space to fully share your ideas. That wasn’t fair to you, and I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been to feel talked over when you had important points to make. I take full responsibility for not being a better listener. There’s no excuse for steamrolling the conversation, especially when your input is so valuable to the team and to me. I’m genuinely sorry for making you feel sidelined — that’s the last thing I want in our working relationship. To make sure this doesn’t happen again, I’m going to be more mindful about giving you the floor and taking notes instead of jumping in. Also, if you ever feel like I’m cutting you off or not hearing you, please call me out — I want to get better at this. Thanks for putting up with my occasional verbal bulldozing. I really appreciate your patience and your expertise, and I hope we can keep the lines of communication open. If you want to chat more about this or anything else, I’m all ears.
