The simple act of pronouncing a colleague, executive, teacher, or student’s name can build trust and foster a sense of belonging and acceptance. Correctly speaking “Siobhan,” “Xin,” or “Helena” the first time you meet them could save you some embarrassment, as well as signal your respect for them.
You can now add your name pronunciation on Microsoft's Profile Card.
