I run across people from all over the world with names I have to practice to pronounce. But until now, it required me to ask them how to say their name. Then I had to attempt to practice in front of them. Ugh.
No longer, now anyone can add a recording of them pronouncing their name right on their profile, on mobile devices only. It’s all right here, instructions from the Help Center.
Now I am already practiced and can call address them correctly and honorably when I meet them.
Now if everyone could just spell my name correctly…
LinkedIn can’t help anyone with that! I just had to grow used to it!
Tomorrow: guest blogger Jay Scherr with a call to action revolving around relationships. He walks the walk. You’ll see.
