The importance of names - Inspired by Fábio Carapinha As professionals, we encounter a multitude of names every day—whether it’s during meetings, networking events, or casual conversations. Yet, how often do we pause to consider the significance of correctly pronouncing someone’s name? 🤔 I know I have butchered a name or two in my time. 🔍 My Name, My Heritage It took me years to be proud of my name. Very few could pronounce it or spell it correctly, even extended family. Watching a teacher’s face contort as they struggled with my name was embarrassing. As a young person, I wondered, “What’s the point of having a name no one can pronounce?” 🔗 A Name with History My last name labels me as a descendant of the slave trade—a stark reminder that slaves were stripped of their own names and given those of their owners. But my first name carries a different story. 🌟 The Black Power Movement and Unique Names In the '60s and '70s, the Black Empowerment Movement emphasized that descendants of the slave trade were a distinct people. One way this idea was promoted was through unique names. My family chose my unique first name from a book, hoping that it's meaning would describe their daughter's destiny. 🌟 Embracing My Identity Over the years, people encouraged me to change my name—to make it easier for others to accept me or avoid discrimination when applying for jobs. But I stood my ground, as I finally understood that my name was more than just a name. My name means “one who reasons, bright, or intelligent.” I want employers to hire me for my intellect and for all of who I am, not just for an easy or relatable name. But, yeah, names are hard so I do offer a chance to meet in the middle. 🔑 A Trick to Remember When I introduce myself, I share a trick to help people remember how to pronounce my name. It ties my name to something recognizable and serves as a great icebreaker. If we’ve met, you know it. Can you meet me halfway and remember it? Let’s champion inclusion by pronouncing names with care.

Shifting Perspectives on Workplace Celebrations In many workplaces, it's common to see farewells marked with elaborate send-offs and heartfelt goodbyes. Yet, when it comes to celebrating promotions, new hires, or other achievements, the fanfare often falls short. This begs the question: Why the disparity in recognition? Could it be a reflection of underlying cultural norms within organizations? Perhaps it's time to reevaluate our approach to workplace celebrations and consider the impact they have on morale, engagement, and overall company culture. What are the thoughts on how we can cultivate a culture of appreciation and recognition for all milestones, big and small. 🎉💼 Like & Follow For More! #QualityCollaboration #OperationalExcellence #ContinuousImprovement #ProblemSolving #QualityCulture #qualityengineering #OrganizationalSuccess #CQE #ProcessImprovement #QualityManagement #DataDrivenDecisions #StrategicImprovement #KnowledgeSharing #ControlConcepts #qualityengineer #TechnologyIntegration #QualityControl #QualityMindset #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeRecognition #MilestoneCelebrations
