Following Up After a Meeting: Owning My Mistake

B10:40

After the meeting, I realized I gave wrong numbers.

Pagkatapos ng meeting, napansin kong mali ang mga numerong binigay ko.

I felt nervous about sending the follow-up email.

Kinabahan ako nang isipin kong mag-email ng follow-up.

I didn't want to sound pushy or rude.

Ayokong magmukhang pushy o bastos.

But hiding the mistake would be worse.

Pero mas malala kung itatago ko ang pagkakamali.

So I wrote a short, honest note.

Kaya sumulat ako ng maikli at tapat na mensahe.

I started with, 'Just floating this back to the top.'

Sinimulan ko ng, 'Just floating this back to the top.'

Then I admitted the error clearly.

Tapos inamin ko nang malinaw ang pagkakamali.

I said, 'No rush at all, but I want to fix it.'

Sabi ko, 'No rush at all, pero gusto kong ayusin ito.'

I offered to explain more if needed.

Nag-offer akong magpaliwanag pa kung kailangan.

I asked, 'Happy to jump on a quick call?'

Tinanong ko, 'Happy to jump on a quick call?'

The reply came fast and was friendly.

Mabilis ang reply at mabait naman.

Owning my mistake actually helped me.

Ang pag-amin ng pagkakamali ay nakatulong talaga sa akin.
