Millions of viewers around the world tune in to watch as stars gather to celebrate major achievements in the film industry. For some of these actors, actresses, technicians, directors, and producers, it is the most momentous evening of their lives.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In recent years, it has become a platform for celebrities and academy members to advocate for diverse issues, to comment on current events, and to celebrate cultural diversity in their fields.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">At the 2014 Academy Awards, however, the world witnessed as a simple blunder created an uncomfortable and non-inclusive experience for one of the most celebrated stars of the night. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Idina Menzel, Tony Award-Winning actress and singer of Frozen’s explosive hit, “Let It Go,” was set to perform her Oscar-nominated song for an audience of millions. Just as she prepared to perform, fellow actor and broadway star John Travolta cued Menzel to the stage by introducing her as . . . </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adele Dazeem</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Menzel and the audience admitted to feeling momentarily confused--</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who was Adele Dazeem?</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">--but Menzel went on to deliver an outstanding performance regardless of the mixup. The gaffe, however, soon took off across the internet, on television talk shows, and in celebrity forums around the world. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Despite Menzel’s impressive accomplishments--earning an Oscar nom in addition to her Broadway accolades--the moment was overshadowed by Travolta’s mistake in pronouncing her name. In what should have been a proud and celebratory moment, Menzel, when interviewed, noted that “For eight seconds, I felt very sorry for myself.”</span>\r\n<h3><strong>Everyone deserves to hear their name</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_134\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"3771\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-134\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/caleb-woods-275754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3771\" height=\"2121\" /> <em>Image Credit: @caleb_woods on Unsplash</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For colleges and universities, commencement ceremonies are the Academy Awards of the academic year. For students and families, graduation is a moment of enormous pride and the culmination of academic achievement. Months of preparation are required to get things right--from promoting the event to arranging logistics to managing the hundreds or thousands of people attending the event. Often, however, an important aspect of the ceremony is overlooked--the proper pronunciation of students’ names.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">While mispronunciation of a student’s name at a commencement ceremony may not garner the same national attention as Travolta’s Academy Awards blunder, the impact on the student and family can be equally disappointing, disconcerting, and disrespectful. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">NameCoach is proud to offer a solution that helps schools ensure students and families feel valued and celebrated during this important celebration with virtual graduation name cards.</span>\r\n<h3><strong>Easy-to-use tools with priority support</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_136\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"2371\"]<a href=\"https://unsplash.com/photos/Va5A8BOA1cI\"><img class=\"wp-image-136 size-full\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/give-drops-411859.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2371\" height=\"2873\" /></a> <em>Image Credit: @givedrops on Unsplash. This photo was taken during the graduation ceremony at LA Kitchen, a charity in Los Angeles that teaches homeless men and women culinary skills.</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Who better to coach commencement speakers on how to pronounce students’ names than the students themselves? With the NameCoach Commencement Service tool, students receive a personalized link that lets them record their name and proper pronunciation. Those recordings are then rolled up into an easily shareable file that speakers, deans, and other commencement organizers can use to review pronunciations leading up to the event. With a bit of preparation, schools can ensure that when celebrating students at their graduation, names will always be pronounced correctly. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The Commencement Service tool is easy to use, which frees up the administrative time and effort needed to execute such as large-scale event. </span>\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“NameCoach is really easy to use for both students and name announcers, and saves us time by cutting out the admin work associated with this important aspect of the ceremony. The support from Praveen and his team is also excellent.”</span></i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicola Gambrill, Events Officer, University of London-Birkbeck College</span></i></span></blockquote>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">With hundreds to thousands of commencement ceremonies taking place each year--mostly concentrated at the end of winter and spring semesters--NameCoach has designed a tool that helps announcers and event organizers prepare, even at the last minute. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For Barry Finnegan, an Academic Dean at Lindenwood University, that meant creating an account just nine days before the event. Even with less than a week to spare, he noted that “For the first time, we had zero complains about commencement! Everyone was noticeably happier.” </span>\r\n<h3><strong>More than a logistical tool</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_139\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1051\"]<a href=\"https://unsplash.com/photos/s9CC2SKySJM\"><img class=\"wp-image-139 size-full\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-26-at-4.13.12-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1051\" height=\"575\" /></a> <em>Image Credit: @craftedbygc on Unsplash</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The ability to pronounce names correctly makes for a better presentation--no stumbling over syllables or pausing to make last-minute interpretations--but the value of pronouncing a student’s name correctly goes beyond logistics. It is a testament to the school’s commitment to cultural inclusion in education.\r\n</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Students have chosen to invest time and money into a higher education institution, but to many, their time at the school represents more than the sum of both time and money. It’s about the value of their education and the experiences they’ve had as a member of the school community. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Graduation gives institutions an opportunity to celebrate the value those students bring to their schools and to demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity. One of the easiest but most impactful ways to do this is to pronounce their names correctly when they walk across the stage. </span>\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“By providing this option to our graduation students, they feel that the Institute is invested in their personal graduation experience and that we value ‘getting it right’ for students on this most important day. The personal touch helps our students to know that we care about their experience as an IHP student.”</span></i></span>\r\n\r\nJames V.

While colleges have long been active participants in these conversations, students are now demanding faster, stronger, and more visible action on these issues. Students have taken a more active role in advocating for practices that are equitable towards and culturally inclusive of their peers, especially along lines of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The changing climate is creating a space to set norms and establish best practices for DE&amp;I challenges that universities and colleges have not previously addressed in a meaningful way. In our work with Black, we looked at how Stanford is fostering cultural inclusion and respecting  students’ identities by learning preferred pronouns and proper name pronunciations.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>What do we mean when we talk about inclusion?</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The first step in becoming a more inclusive institution is to understand what we mean when we talk about inclusion. There are two core tenets of inclusion at the higher education level: respect and belonging. To create an inclusive environment and ensure students are successful, a college or university must address both. Black helped us take a deeper look at these issues to better understand the impact they have on students and campuses every day.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b><i>Respect</i></b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The UC Campus Climate survey is the largest university system study of its kind. The comprehensive survey is part of UC’s effort to become a model for diversity, equity, and inclusion at the higher ed level.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">After surveying thousands of students, it became clear that the need for respect was an important part of their campus experience and a key driver of the study. As noted on the Campus Climate Study site,  “Respect is one of the most critical words… It\'s not just the experience of individuals and groups on a campus; it\'s also the quality and extent of the interaction between those various groups and individuals that determines a healthy campus climate.” Students have high expectations from their schools and every interaction with faculty, staff, and administrators is an opportunity to meet them.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b><i>Belonging</i></b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">College and graduate students spend an enormous amount time on campus engaging with faculty and interacting with peers. Thus, a sense of belonging is an essential part of creating an inclusive environment. If students don’t feel like they belong, they will struggle to fully engage and contribute to the campus community.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of South Carolina notes that “[Feeling] embraced by a warm and welcoming campus culture. [Feeling] immediately at home. That’s what inclusion is all about. It’s about feeling like you belong and that your life, your voice, and your contributions truly matter through </span><b>Respect and Belonging: What we learned at AACRAO 2017</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">the mutual civility and respect that we show one another.” It’s up to schools to create an environment that fosters this sense of belonging to ensure students come, stay, and thrive on campus.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Why it matters</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Respect and belonging both contribute to a student’s sense of whether or not they can be successful. When they question whether they fit in or whether the campus environment respects their identity, it burns intellectual, emotional, and creative energy they could otherwise apply to academic achievement. As a result, performance suffers and students fall behind academically. In many cases, they simply leave.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“There is much more to college achievement gaps than differences in preparation or motivation or ability. When individuals are repeatedly asking themselves whether they belong or not, it… diminishes motivation to engage and persist in school. Students ask fewer questions in class, study less often with others, and avoid office hours. As a result, their grades suffer.” --</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“How Worries about Belonging can Inhibit Achievement” - Natalie Orenstein\r\n\r\n</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Image - need resize and upload</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The perception that a school is indifferent towards a student’s identity is the number one cause of student attrition. In other words, if students don’t feel like the faculty and staff at a college or university care about them enough to take action, advocate for them, or simply learn more about their needs, they will leave.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Where to begin?</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The relationship between creating the right environment and retaining successful students is clear, but taking action is more challenging. With countless options available for promoting inclusivity--from housing to extracurricular activities, course offerings to scholarships--there is no single lever guaranteed to make students feel welcome.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">One factor that impacts nearly every aspect of a student’s college experience--from what’s posted on their dorm room door to how they’re greeted or called upon in class--is correctly pronouncing students’ names and using preferred pronouns.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Mispronouncing students’ names and using the wrong pronouns can increase ‘belonging uncertainty,’ which Stanford research shows can affect a student’s performance, stress levels and overall sense of being a valued part of the community.\" </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">- Dereca Blackmon, Associate Dean and Director of the Diversity and First Generation Student Office</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Failing to get names and pronouns right makes students question whether or not they belong on campus, which, according to a Stanford research study, can affect a student’s academic performance and stress levels. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In a world in which the concept of gender is constantly evolving, making assumptions about someone’s name or gender identity can be detrimental. A whitepaper on the importance of preferred pronouns from Bryn Mawr College explains that “To incorrectly gender someone can cause the person to feel disrespected, alienated, or dysphoric (or a combination of the three)…Calling roll from a sheet without knowledge of how someone wants to identify themself in the classroom can be very harmful.”</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Making the effort to use preferred pronouns and pronunciations is critical, but singling students out during roll call can make them uncomfortable. A more respectful solution is to empower students to educate faculty and staff on their preferred pronouns and correct name pronunciation privately or ahead of their first interactions. NameCoach’s suite of tools helps schools proactively address the challenge before the first day of class and beyond.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Reception at Stanford</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Since introducing NameCoach tools like Name Badges and Commencement Service and integrating with learning management systems and CRMs, Stanford has noticed an outpouring of support from students.

As noted on the Campus Climate Study site,  “Respect is one of the most critical words… It\'s not just the experience of individuals and groups on a campus; it\'s also the quality and extent of the interaction between those various groups and individuals that determines a healthy campus climate.” Students have high expectations from their schools and every interaction with faculty, staff, and administrators is an opportunity to meet them.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><i>Belonging</i></b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College and graduate students spend an enormous amount time on campus engaging with faculty and interacting with peers.

In our work with Black, we looked at how Stanford is fostering cultural inclusion and respecting  students’ identities by learning preferred pronouns and proper name pronunciations.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>What do we mean when we talk about inclusion?</b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The first step in becoming a more inclusive institution is to understand what we mean when we talk about inclusion. There are two core tenets of inclusion at the higher education level: respect and belonging. To create an inclusive environment and ensure students are successful, a college or university must address both. Black helped us take a deeper look at these issues to better understand the impact they have on students and campuses every day.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b><i>Respect</i></b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The UC Campus Climate survey is the largest university system study of its kind. The comprehensive survey is part of UC’s effort to become a model for diversity, equity, and inclusion at the higher ed level.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">After surveying thousands of students, it became clear that the need for respect was an important part of their campus experience and a key driver of the study. As noted on the Campus Climate Study site,  “Respect is one of the most critical words… It\'s not just the experience of individuals and groups on a campus; it\'s also the quality and extent of the interaction between those various groups and individuals that determines a healthy campus climate.” Students have high expectations from their schools and every interaction with faculty, staff, and administrators is an opportunity to meet them.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b><i>Belonging</i></b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">College and graduate students spend an enormous amount time on campus engaging with faculty and interacting with peers. Thus, a sense of belonging is an essential part of creating an inclusive environment. If students don’t feel like they belong, they will struggle to fully engage and contribute to the campus community.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of South Carolina notes that “[Feeling] embraced by a warm and welcoming campus culture. [Feeling] immediately at home. That’s what inclusion is all about. It’s about feeling like you belong and that your life, your voice, and your contributions truly matter through </span><b>Respect and Belonging: What we learned at AACRAO 2017</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">the mutual civility and respect that we show one another.” It’s up to schools to create an environment that fosters this sense of belonging to ensure students come, stay, and thrive on campus.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Why it matters</b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Respect and belonging both contribute to a student’s sense of whether or not they can be successful. When they question whether they fit in or whether the campus environment respects their identity, it burns intellectual, emotional, and creative energy they could otherwise apply to academic achievement. As a result, performance suffers and students fall behind academically. In many cases, they simply leave.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“There is much more to college achievement gaps than differences in preparation or motivation or ability. When individuals are repeatedly asking themselves whether they belong or not, it… diminishes motivation to engage and persist in school. Students ask fewer questions in class, study less often with others, and avoid office hours. As a result, their grades suffer.” --</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“How Worries about Belonging can Inhibit Achievement” - Natalie Orenstein</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Image - need resize and upload</strong></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The perception that a school is indifferent towards a student’s identity is the number one cause of student attrition. In other words, if students don’t feel like the faculty and staff at a college or university care about them enough to take action, advocate for them, or simply learn more about their needs, they will leave.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Where to begin?</b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The relationship between creating the right environment and retaining successful students is clear, but taking action is more challenging. With countless options available for promoting inclusivity--from housing to extracurricular activities, course offerings to scholarships--there is no single lever guaranteed to make students feel welcome.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">One factor that impacts nearly every aspect of a student’s college experience--from what’s posted on their dorm room door to how they’re greeted or called upon in class--is correctly pronouncing students’ names and using preferred pronouns.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Mispronouncing students’ names and using the wrong pronouns can increase ‘belonging uncertainty,’ which Stanford research shows can affect a student’s performance, stress levels and overall sense of being a valued part of the community.\" </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">- Dereca Blackmon, Associate Dean and Director of the Diversity and First Generation Student Office</span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Failing to get names and pronouns right makes students question whether or not they belong on campus, which, according to a Stanford research study, can affect a student’s academic performance and stress levels. </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In a world in which the concept of gender is constantly evolving, making assumptions about someone’s name or gender identity can be detrimental. A whitepaper on the importance of preferred pronouns from Bryn Mawr College explains that “To incorrectly gender someone can cause the person to feel disrespected, alienated, or dysphoric (or a combination of the three)…Calling roll from a sheet without knowledge of how someone wants to identify themself in the classroom can be very harmful.”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Making the effort to use preferred pronouns and pronunciations is critical, but singling students out during roll call can make them uncomfortable. A more respectful solution is to empower students to educate faculty and staff on their preferred pronouns and correct name pronunciation privately or ahead of their first interactions. NameCoach’s suite of tools helps schools proactively address the challenge before the first day of class and beyond.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Reception at Stanford</b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Since introducing NameCoach tools like Name Badges and Commencement Service and integrating with learning management systems and CRMs, Stanford has noticed an outpouring of support from students. The decision to implement NameCoach campus-wide was to demonstrate the University’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusiveness and to indicate that everyone on campus is expected to meet the same high standards. </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">By taking action, the school has drawn positive attention to a nuanced issue, and students are applauding the effort.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">There is no single blueprint that leads to the creation of an inclusive environment, but NameCoach’s partners in higher education are proving that small steps in the right direction can build the momentum needed for large-scale change.</span>','Respect and Belonging: What we learned at AACRAO 2017','','inherit','closed','closed','','110-revision-v1','','','2017-10-14 09:35:22','2017-10-14 09:35:22','',110,'https://name-coach.com/blog/110-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(117,1,'2017-10-14 09:50:22','2017-10-14 09:50:22','<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>What’s in a name?</b></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it turns out, quite a bit.</span></i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It’s the first day of school and you wait, anxious and excited, to meet your new teacher: you’ve purchased the necessary supplies, arrived on time, and found your seat.

As schools, organizations, and businesses increase their efforts to create inclusive environments for students or employees, the challenge of addressing mispronunciations has come into focus. To fully address the challenge, however, it’s important for employers and decision makers to understand </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> name pronunciation is such an important factor in creating an inclusive and welcoming climate for students, employees, and clients. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you or your ancestors hail from an Anglo-Saxon background, chances are you’ve rarely experienced the sense of dread that accompanies introductions or roll calls. In an increasingly diverse America--one in which one-third of Americans now have a name that would be considered difficult to pronounce--pronunciation has become less straightforward but increasingly important.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Names are more than logistical identifiers--they are artifacts of our culture and way of life and are an essential part of our identities. For students with hard-to-pronounce names, the act of mispronouncing a name is a microaggression--a small insult or slight that degrades someone on the basis of race, gender, or another identity marker. The impact of mispronunciation on students with hard-to-pronounce names has drawn attention from psychologists and researchers across the country. For example, the study by Rita Kohli and Daniel Solórzano, “</span><a href=\"https://www.academia.edu/192884/Kohli_R._and_Sol%C3%B3rzano_D._2012_Teachers_please_learn_our_names_Racial_Microagressions_and_the_K-12_Classroom._Race_Ethnicity_and_Education\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers, please learn our names!: racial microaggressions and the K-12 classroom</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,” asserts that mispronunciation at an early age can lead to feelings of shame of one’s name and culture, and can even create distance between a child, their family, and their identity. Kohli and  Solórzano found that the issue disproportionately affects students of color or students from families that have immigrated to the United States. </span></span>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_127\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1054\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-127\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-26-at-3.04.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1054\" height=\"702\" /> Image Credit: @chuttersnap on Unsplash[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The challenge?

In many cases, the students let name pronunciation simply happen to them--they offer up the correct pronunciation but accept whatever is handed back to them.

With NameCoach’s unique <a href=\"https://www.name-coach.com/namebadge\">NameBadge feature</a>, institutions can share a link or Excel file with students, members, or employees.

As schools, organizations, and businesses increase their efforts to create inclusive environments for students or employees, the challenge of addressing mispronunciations has come into focus. To fully address the challenge, however, it’s important for employers and decision makers to understand </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> name pronunciation is such an important factor in creating an inclusive and welcoming climate for students, employees, and clients. </span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you or your ancestors hail from an Anglo-Saxon background, chances are you’ve rarely experienced the sense of dread that accompanies introductions or roll calls. In an increasingly diverse America--one in which one third of Americans now have a name that would be considered difficult to pronounce--pronunciation has become less straightforward but increasingly important.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Names are more than logistical identifiers--they are artifacts of our culture and way of life, and are an essential part of our identities. For students with hard-to-pronounce names, the act of mispronouncing a name is a microaggression--a small insult or slight that degrades someone on the basis of race, gender, or another identity marker. The impact of mispronunciation on students with hard-to-pronounce names has drawn attention from psychologists and researchers across the country. For example, the study by Rita Kohli and Daniel Solórzano, “</span><a href=\"https://www.academia.edu/192884/Kohli_R._and_Sol%C3%B3rzano_D._2012_Teachers_please_learn_our_names_Racial_Microagressions_and_the_K-12_Classroom._Race_Ethnicity_and_Education\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers, please learn our names!: racial microaggressions and the K-12 classroom</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,” asserts that mispronunciation at an early age can lead to feelings of shame of one’s name and culture, and can even create distance between a child, their family, and their identify. Kohli and  Solórzano found that the issue disproportionately affects students of color or students from families that have immigrated to the United States. </span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The challenge? When seeing a name for the first time, the pronouncer may truly be unsure as to how to form the name in front of them. There are no phonetic guides on attendance sheets, and upon first meeting someone with a hard-to-pronounce name, you may not even see the name in writing. This uncertainty can feel awkward for the pronouncer, which forces them to assume (make a guess), avoid (use pronouns), or ask--an option that feel uncomfortable in early interactions.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In turn, this places an unfair burden on the person being named--especially if we consider how often young students encounter this challenge in a school setting. Should a first grader be expected to correct the teacher? Do middle school students have the tools needed to address name pronunciation with an adult or authority figure? In many cases, the students let name pronunciation simply happen to them--they offer up the correct pronunciation, but accept whatever is handed back to them. In many cases, they say nothing at all and the Americanized pronunciation of their name sticks for the rest of the year, or even for the rest of the child’s school career.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a Chinese student named Zhang.

As schools, organizations, and businesses increase their efforts to create inclusive environments for students or employees, the challenge of addressing mispronunciations has come into focus. To fully address the challenge, however, it’s important for employers and decision makers to understand </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> name pronunciation is such an important factor in creating an inclusive and welcoming climate for students, employees, and clients. </span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you or your ancestors hail from an Anglo-Saxon background, chances are you’ve rarely experienced the sense of dread that accompanies introductions or roll calls. In an increasingly diverse America--one in which one third of Americans now have a name that would be considered difficult to pronounce--pronunciation has become less straightforward but increasingly important.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Names are more than logistical identifiers--they are artifacts of our culture and way of life, and are an essential part of our identities. For students with hard-to-pronounce names, the act of mispronouncing a name is a microaggression--a small insult or slight that degrades someone on the basis of race, gender, or another identity marker. The impact of mispronunciation on students with hard-to-pronounce names has drawn attention from psychologists and researchers across the country. For example, the study by Rita Kohli and Daniel Solórzano, “</span><a href=\"https://www.academia.edu/192884/Kohli_R._and_Sol%C3%B3rzano_D._2012_Teachers_please_learn_our_names_Racial_Microagressions_and_the_K-12_Classroom._Race_Ethnicity_and_Education\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers, please learn our names!: racial microaggressions and the K-12 classroom</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,” asserts that mispronunciation at an early age can lead to feelings of shame of one’s name and culture, and can even create distance between a child, their family, and their identify. Kohli and  Solórzano found that the issue disproportionately affects students of color or students from families that have immigrated to the United States. </span></span>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_127\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1054\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-127\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-26-at-3.04.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1054\" height=\"702\" /> Image Credit: @chuttersnap on Unsplash[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The challenge? When seeing a name for the first time, the pronouncer may truly be unsure as to how to form the name in front of them. There are no phonetic guides on attendance sheets, and upon first meeting someone with a hard-to-pronounce name, you may not even see the name in writing. This uncertainty can feel awkward for the pronouncer, which forces them to assume (make a guess), avoid (use pronouns), or ask--an option that feel uncomfortable in early interactions.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In turn, this places an unfair burden on the person being named--especially if we consider how often young students encounter this challenge in a school setting. Should a first grader be expected to correct the teacher? Do middle school students have the tools needed to address name pronunciation with an adult or authority figure? In many cases, the students let name pronunciation simply happen to them--they offer up the correct pronunciation, but accept whatever is handed back to them. In many cases, they say nothing at all and the Americanized pronunciation of their name sticks for the rest of the year, or even for the rest of the child’s school career.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a Chinese student named Zhang. Zhang is a common name in China, but is unfamiliar to many Americans. Although the correct pronunciation is </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">j-AA-ng, </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at school, the teacher struggles to pronounce his name. ”</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zang</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shang</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?” he tries. </span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang attempts to guide the  the teacher but both teachers and students continue to struggle with it. “It sounds like </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, right?” they ask. </span></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">“Well, yes, but--”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">“Why don’t we just call you John? That’s easier.”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In interactions like this, the student grows increasingly anxious about the attention he’s receiving for his name. Zhang is concerned that if he continues to insist on the correct pronunciation, he will be othered for his cultural differences and have a harder time making friends. He doesn’t like the sound of his Americanized name and doesn’t want to have to answer to it for the next few years, but he wants to feel a connection with his teacher and peers. What should he do? And why is he the only one who feels pressure to make this choice?</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Moments like Zhang’s are a daily occurrence for people with names that are difficult to pronounce, and this constant wavering and worrying is a drain on time, energy, and one’s self of self. It needs to stop, and NameCoach hopes to address the resource gap that currently surrounds name pronunciation by providing tools to help individuals meet pronouncers halfway.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>The solution</b></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NameCoach provides tools that allow the individual to control how others pronounce their names.

Millions of viewers around the world tune in to watch as stars gather to celebrate major achievements in the film industry. For some of these actors, actresses, technicians, directors, and producers, it is the most momentous evening of their lives.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In recent years, it has become a platform for celebrities and academy members to advocate for diverse issues, to comment on current events, and to celebrate cultural diversity in their fields.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">At the 2014 Academy Awards, however, the world witnessed as a simple blunder created an uncomfortable and non-inclusive experience for one of the most celebrated stars of the night. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Idina Menzel, Tony Award-Winning actress and singer of Frozen’s explosive hit, “Let It Go,” was set to perform her Oscar-nominated song for an audience of millions. Just as she prepared to perform, fellow actor and broadway star John Travolta cued Menzel to the stage by introducing her as . . . </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adele Dazeem</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Menzel and the audience admitted to feeling momentarily confused--</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who was Adele Dazeem?</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">--but Menzel went on to deliver an outstanding performance regardless of the mixup. The gaffe, however, soon took off across the internet, on television talk shows, and in celebrity forums around the world. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Despite Menzel’s impressive accomplishments--earning an Oscar nom in addition to her Broadway accolades--the moment was overshadowed by Travolta’s mistake in pronouncing her name. In what should have been a proud and celebratory moment, Menzel, when interviewed, noted that “For eight seconds, I felt very sorry for myself.”</span>\r\n<h3><strong>Everyone deserves to hear their name</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_134\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"3771\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-134\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/caleb-woods-275754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3771\" height=\"2121\" /> <em>Image Credit: @caleb_woods on Unsplash</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For colleges and universities, commencement ceremonies are the Academy Awards of the academic year. For students and families, graduation is a moment of enormous pride and the culmination of academic achievement. Months of preparation are required to get things right--from promoting the event to arranging logistics to managing the hundreds or thousands of people attending the event. Often, however, an important aspect of the ceremony is overlooked--the proper pronunciation of students’ names.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">While mispronunciation of a student’s name at a commencement ceremony may not garner the same national attention as Travolta’s Academy Awards blunder, the impact on the student and family can be equally disappointing, disconcerting, and disrespectful. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">NameCoach is proud to offer a solution that helps schools ensure students and families feel valued and celebrated during this important celebration with virtual graduation name cards.</span>\r\n<h3><strong>Easy-to-use tools with priority support</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_136\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"2371\"]<a href=\"https://unsplash.com/photos/Va5A8BOA1cI\"><img class=\"wp-image-136 size-full\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/give-drops-411859.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2371\" height=\"2873\" /></a> <em>Image Credit: @givedrops on Unsplash.

With the NameCoach Commencement Service tool, students receive a personalized link that lets them record their name and proper pronunciation. Those recordings are then rolled up into an easily shareable file that speakers, deans, and other commencement organizers can use to review pronunciations leading up to the event. With a bit of preparation, schools can ensure that when celebrating students at their graduation, names will always be pronounced correctly. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The Commencement Service tool is easy to use, which frees up the administrative time and effort needed to execute such as large-scale event. </span>\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“NameCoach is really easy to use for both students and name announcers, and saves us time by cutting out the admin work associated with this important aspect of the ceremony.

Should you correct her now or after class? Will other students notice or remember what to call you? </span>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_128\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"4928\"]<a href=\"https://unsplash.com/photos/jCIMcOpFHig\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-128\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/element5-digital-352046.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4928\" height=\"3264\" /></a> Image Credit: @element5digital on Unsplash[/caption]\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Or perhaps it’s your sister’s graduation. Your family is in the audience and watches as she hovers on the edge of the stage, ready to step forward for her diploma. Camera poised, you wait for her name to be called, but listen as the announcer stammers to produce an amalgamation of sounds you realize is supposed to represent your sister’s name. The moment passes, but the disappointment lingers.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The latter is exactly what inspired Praveen Shanbhag to found NameCoach, a startup that’s helping institutions and individuals learn how to correctly pronounce the names of the people they serve. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>The problem</b></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No stranger to pronunciation challenges, Shanbhag realized that the problem of name pronunciation is increasing and extends beyond the classroom roll sheet. As schools, organizations, and businesses increase their efforts to create inclusive environments for students or employees, the challenge of addressing mispronunciations has come into focus. To fully address the challenge, however, it’s important for employers and decision makers to understand </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> name pronunciation is such an important factor in creating an inclusive and welcoming climate for students, employees, and clients. </span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you or your ancestors hail from an Anglo-Saxon background, chances are you’ve rarely experienced the sense of dread that accompanies introductions or roll calls. In an increasingly diverse America--one in which one-third of Americans now have a name that would be considered difficult to pronounce--pronunciation has become less straightforward but increasingly important.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Names are more than logistical identifiers--they are artifacts of our culture and way of life and are an essential part of our identities. For students with hard-to-pronounce names, the act of mispronouncing a name is a microaggression--a small insult or slight that degrades someone on the basis of race, gender, or another identity marker. The impact of mispronunciation on students with hard-to-pronounce names has drawn attention from psychologists and researchers across the country. For example, the study by Rita Kohli and Daniel Solórzano, “</span><a href=\"https://www.academia.edu/192884/Kohli_R._and_Sol%C3%B3rzano_D._2012_Teachers_please_learn_our_names_Racial_Microagressions_and_the_K-12_Classroom._Race_Ethnicity_and_Education\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers, please learn our names!: racial microaggressions and the K-12 classroom</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,” asserts that mispronunciation at an early age can lead to feelings of shame of one’s name and culture, and can even create distance between a child, their family, and their identity. Kohli and  Solórzano found that the issue disproportionately affects students of color or students from families that have immigrated to the United States. </span></span>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_127\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1054\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-127\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-26-at-3.04.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1054\" height=\"702\" /> Image Credit: @chuttersnap on Unsplash[/caption]\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The challenge? When seeing a name for the first time, the pronouncer may truly be unsure as to how to form the name in front of them. There are no phonetic guides on attendance sheets, and upon first meeting someone with a hard-to-pronounce name, you may not even see the name in writing. This uncertainty can feel awkward for the pronouncer, which forces them to assume (make a guess), avoid (use pronouns), or ask (an option that feels uncomfortable in early interactions).</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In turn, this places an unfair burden on the person being named--especially if we consider how often young students encounter this challenge in a school setting. Should a first grader be expected to correct the teacher? Do middle school students have the tools needed to address name pronunciation with an adult or authority figure? In many cases, the students let name pronunciation simply happen to them--they offer up the correct pronunciation but accept whatever is handed back to them. In many cases, they say nothing at all, and the Americanized pronunciation of their name sticks for the rest of the year, or even for the rest of the child’s school career.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a Chinese student named Zhang. Zhang is a common name in China but is unfamiliar to many Americans. Although the correct pronunciation is </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">j-AA-ng, </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at school, the teacher struggles to pronounce his name. ”</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zang</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shang</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?” he tries. </span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang attempts to guide the teacher, but both teachers and students continue to struggle with it. “It sounds like </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, right?” they ask. </span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">“Well, yes, but--”</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">“Why don’t we just call you John? That’s easier.”</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In interactions like this, the student grows increasingly anxious about the attention he’s receiving for his name. Zhang is concerned that if he continues to insist on the correct pronunciation, he will be othered for his cultural differences and have a harder time making friends. He doesn’t like the sound of his Americanized name and doesn’t want to have to answer to it for the next few years, but he wants to feel a connection with his teacher and peers. What should he do? And why is he the only one who feels pressure to make this choice?</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Moments like Zhang’s are a daily occurrence for people with names that are difficult to pronounce, and this constant wavering and worrying is a drain on time, energy, and one’s self of self. It needs to stop, and NameCoach hopes to address the resource gap that currently surrounds name pronunciation by providing tools to help individuals meet pronouncers halfway.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>The solution</b></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NameCoach provides tools that allow the individual to control how others pronounce their names. With NameCoach’s unique <a href=\"https://www.name-coach.com/namebadge\">NameBadge feature</a>, institutions can share a link or Excel file with students, members, or employees. Individuals can access the link and provide a brief recording of their name or phonetic spelling to model the correct pronunciation. The notes and recording are entered into a </span><a href=\"https://www.name-coach.com/demo_event\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NamePage</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> database which can be shared or integrated with institutional databases so anyone can access it and quickly learn the correct pronunciation.</span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">By empowering both the individual and the pronouncer, NameCoach alleviates the anxieties felt on both end of the interaction by providing upfront tools that help create and foster a respectful, inclusive environment. </span>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_130\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1052\"]<a href=\"https://unsplash.com/photos/1OnoRxY-Ww0\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-130\" src=\"https://name-coach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-26-at-3.22.02-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1052\" height=\"701\" /></a> Image Credit @peterhershey on Unsplash[/caption]\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">NameCoach offers different features and plans to meet a variety of needs.
