Trusted friends can help you break the habit by quietly letting you know when you’re using “sorry” inappropriately. Knowing that you’re under another’s watchful eye is also going to make you more aware of your speech. Sometimes, saying “sorry,” is easier than thinking about the word you really want to say, or becomes a way of softening your words or opinion before they’re even out of your mouth. If either is the case, be more careful to choose the word or phrase you really mean to say. Sometimes, instead of saying “sorry,” it’s best to not say anything at all.

Business consultant Kathryn D. Cramer, author of Lead Positive: What Highly Effective Leaders See, Say, and Do, says women are socialized from an early age to focus on relationships and nurturing. Any sign of strength can be off-putting, so they’re conditioned to soften communication that can be construed as assertive or aggressive. Apologizing before speaking--or in any situation where women must show strength or where there is potential for conflict--is one way of doing so.
"In Lead Positive, Cramer has captured the secret to great leadership: the actions and words, based on positive thinking and integrity, that bring out the best in everyone around us. Instead of process and strategies, she shines the spotlight on what we can do and say to engage and create a truly cohesive workforce that is up to any challenge. Lead Positive is a valuable, original contribution to leadership thinking and learning with case studies that are original, on-point, and enlightening. Brilliant!"
