The Best Way to Apologize for Being Late

Being late is a part of life, and its always polite to apologize when it happens.

But what makes a good apology?

Im sorry Im late, this meeting ran over.

…Im sorry Im late, I didnt intend to be late.

But the person whos been waiting for you for twenty minutes isnt experiencing your intention.

Theyre experiencing the impact of the result.
