Global Diversity - Naming and Addressing Traditions Across Cultures
Names are an important element on the platform of human relationships. Correctly pronouncing your customer's or colleague's name goes a long way towards earning the individual's respect and trust. This could be a challenge, however, when you're up against a name like Javarkharlal. It is always appropriate to ask “Am I pronouncing it right?” Then repeat the name a few times so that your mouth and tongue could practice the unusual sounds and combination of sounds.
In order to deal with the people from all over the world you need to understand their values, customs, social and business practices. A person entering another culture will always have to adapt to that culture's conditions to show respect, connect, and build relationships.
