I mispronounced my colleague's name!
Paused,
Asked again, and
Corrected.
We smiled:)
Pronouncing your colleagues, acquaintances name correctly is a step towards:
building rapport
showing respect
creating a sense of belonging
Extend this to people in your network, including those who serve you, children, seniors et al. Give it the time it needs…don’t rush past.
Change happens one step at a time, one person at a time, one action at a time…what’s the one step you are taking this week to show respect, be more inclusive?
