The Friday Feature w/Sean: I Shouldn’t Have

✅ Have you ever said something and instantly wished you could take it back? Welcome to Week 235 of The Friday Feature – This week, I broke one of my own rules. Instead of offering feedback privately, I made a personal statement publicly. While I stand by what I said, the way I delivered it has weighed heavily on me. I know I should have handled the situation differently.

Now, all I can do is follow my friend Molly McPherson’s advice: 1) own my mistake, 2) offer a sincere apology, and 3) commit to doing better moving forward. Coaching is my passion because I want to help people get better—it’s what drives me every day. That means I have to get better, too, learning from my own missteps.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I encourage you to follow the same steps. We all make mistakes, but it’s how we respond and grow that matters most.

Keep pushing forward. Have a great week. See you next Friday.
