What's In A Name? I Everything You're Ignoring Over The Holidays

Your name isn't complicated. Our laziness is.   Reality check:   → 74% of workers struggle with pronunciations → 44% face it in interviews → 41% endure it in client meetings   Let me break this down   → L.O.R.E.N. (Not Lauren, not Laryn) → G.R.E.I.F.F. (Gryfe rhymes with life) → Michelle? No problem. Funny how that works.   Here's what we're really talking about:   → When you mangle someone's name, → You're not just fumbling syllables. → You're choosing convenience over respect.   The fix isn't complicated:   → Ask once → Practice twice → Get it right   The math: > 10 seconds to learn = years of respect > 0 seconds to butcher = instant credibility loss   Isn't that worth the extra moment? → Because in our rush to digitize everything, → Speaking someone's name with care might be → The most human thing we have left.
