Oh. I talk about mistakes I make all the time. Every day. Mistakes are a normal part of trying. They are steps along the way to success. We are wired to think that mistakes are "bad", but they are only bad if you don't learn and move on from them.

Always be upfront. If need be, do a chronology of events so that people will get more clarity. Apologise if a mistake is made. Transparency and authenticity and then move on
