When discussing this topic in a training course, a German trainee and a British trainee got into a
hot debate about whether it was appropriate for someone with
to use the corresponding title on their business card. The British trainee maintained that anyone who wasn't a
medical doctor expecting to be addressed as 'Dr' was disgustingly pompous and full of themselves.
The German trainee, however, argued that the hard work and years of education put into earning that PhD
should give them full rights to expect to be addressed as 'Dr'.
This stark difference in opinion over something that could be conceived as minor and thus easily overlooked goes
to show that we often attach meaning to even the most mundane practices. When things that we are used to are done
differently, it could spark the strongest reactions in us. While many Continental Europeans and Latin Americans
prefer to be addressed with a title, for example Mr or Ms and their surname when meeting someone in a business
for the first time, Americans, and increasingly the British, now tend to prefer using their first names.
The best thing to do is to listen and observe how your conversation partner addresses you and, if you are
still unsure, do not be afraid to ask them how they would like to be addressed.
