I Messed Up & Gossiped at Work—Here’s My Fix

Ever had that moment where you say something you wish you could take back? That was me last week, blurting out gossip about a coworker. My stomach dropped the second the words left my mouth. Here’s what actually helped me move forward: • I admitted what I did to the people I gossiped with—no sugarcoating, just a real apology. • I faced the person I talked about. It was awkward, but being upfront lifted a huge weight. • Now, I pause before I speak and ask myself: Is this true? Is it kind? Do I really need to say it? • When I feel the urge to gossip, I try to flip it and share something good about someone instead. Ever been in a similar spot?
