What is Just Not Sorry -- the Gmail Plug-in?

Just Not Sorry is a free Chrome browser extension that works with Gmail to highlight words and phrases like "just," "actually," and "sorry" that convey uncertainty or doubt. The highlights act as reminders to edit out those self-diminishing words and phrases to help you write more confidently and decisively.

The plugin was created by Tami Reiss, CEO of Cyrus Innovation, after research showed that women tend to use more tentative language in work emails compared to men. These linguistic habits can unconsciously undermine women's messages and contributions in the workplace. Just Not Sorry aims to empower all users, but especially women, to communicate more assertively and own their expertise.

When composing a Gmail message, Just Not Sorry will highlight doubtful and hesitant phrases in yellow. You can then easily edit them out and replace them with more direct, confident wording. The extension also provides suggested alternatives and writing tips. While the highlights serve as useful reminders for many, you can also customize the words and phrases flagged to suit your personal communication style.

Just Not Sorry is available as a Chrome extension and is free to install. It works seamlessly with Gmail in the browser to provide real-time feedback as you compose emails. The simple, unintrusive tool can be a useful ally in promoting more decisive, self-assured communication.
