I heard you calling my name...
They say that the most important sound we'll ever hear is our name. Those of you who have a pet know this for sure. Here's a suggestion from someone who has a name that 'occasionally' get's mispronounced.
LinkedIn provides a valuable feature that let's us record our name in our profile. I have the wonderful opportunity to be connected with 1000's of people from all over the world from many different backgrounds. I often get a chance to meet many of them virtually. Take a moment to slowly and clearly record your name in your profile. It is wonderful way to start off a conversation.
By the way, the picture above has nothing to do with this post, but I thought you'd enjoy it anyway.
