I have been working under my current boss for almost 9 months now. There has been several misunderstandings and I think that he doesn't believe I am always being truthful with him. Lately I have admitedly been lacking focus and need to show him that I am serious about focusing on my responsibilities more. I was dealing with several difficult family issues including a death of someone close, but know now that it is no excuse for not being on top of things while on the job. I have not made any large mistakes, but have been lacking focus and making minor errors that have been making him angry. I know that I am ready to prove to him that I can hone my focus and perform my duties exceptionally well as I had been before. Without specifics as to what position I hold, what is the best approach to regaining my boss's trust that I will be on the top of my game from now on.

I would simply ask to have a conversation with your boss, acknowledging the issues you stated in your question. Tell him you just wanted to get it on the table and that you are aware you can make improvements and say how. He should appreciate your honesty and efforts. I would!

Ask for a meeting in which you will tell him that you have had some personal problems lately that have affected your focus. Explain that those problems are behind you now and that you appreciate the fact that he has been patient with you. Promise that you are now back on track and then make sure that happens.
