Dear {Coworker},
I was a jerk during our conversation about {topic}. Reflecting later, I realize that I talked over you, didn’t listen to your opinions, and was both condescending and dismissive. I am so sorry.
In the time since our (mostly one-sided) discussion, I have been reading up on active listening and nonviolent communication. I want you to know that I hear you, and I am going to do better.
Thank you in advance for any grace you can extend me as I work toward being a better conversationalist and a better person.
Sincerely,
{Name}
