Saying Someone’s Name

There’s so much power, connectivity and an empathetic bond carried in the air when we say someone’s name.

Thank you, Carly.

See you tomorrow, Jake.

Hey, Ben. How’s today going for you?

All statements that can be said without a name, but you just read them as if they were more personal and more heartfelt – and it’s likely none of those names are yours.

Sure, first step is remembering a person’s name.

But once we know it, we have the responsibility to use it.

Stay Positive & Roll Call

P.S. Asking For A Name Is A Lot Easier Than Avoiding Having To Use It When You Don’t Know It
