  • Summary

  • 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.
