We’ve all heard the expression “It’s better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission,” but it can be uncomfortable asking for forgiveness when the time comes.
I Forgive You app creator Sue Henry helps people work through the underlying complexities of forgiveness through her newly-launched podcast, Get With It – How to Keep Smiling in Business and Life.
As anyone who has run into a sticky situation knows all too well, forgiveness can be a confronting and complex issue. Sue says she discovered that there are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to forgive and saw podcasting as a practical way to communicate some of the intricacies of the issue.
Since her mobile app is designed to assist people in expressing themselves, the content of the podcast has a special emphasis on balancing the difficulties that come from misunderstandings with the actions needed for taking personal responsibility. She says she also wants dispel some of the mystery and myths of forgiveness and to assist in promoting her key messages of personal responsibility, communication, gratitude, love, apology, thoughtfulness, and forgiveness.
To women thinking about starting their own podcast, Sue advises to be specific on what you want the podcast to do for your business and seek professional help where you need it.
“It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be,” said Sue. “And listen to the HerBusiness webinar, you will gain great insights and ideas.”
