Episode 60: The 3-Phase Plan When You Make a Mistake at Work

Have you ever messed up at work? Or even worse, it involves someone more senior than you? Before you spiral, over-apologize, or try to disappear and hope it goes away, Lisa is breaking down exactly what to do next.

 

In this solo episode of In Confidence, Lisa shares her three-phase plan for recovering from a mistake at work. You'll learn:

• Why your boss cares more about your response than the mistake itself
• The exact script to use when you need to address a mistake with your manager
• Why silence erodes trust more than the error ever will
• How to turn a mistake into a mentorship moment

If you have ever made a mistake at work and don't know what to do next, consider this your recovery plan.
