Face to Face Networking

This is the beginning of what I hope will be a running collection of really bad name tag examples. I wish that I had started collecting them long before now. For example, a missed opportunity was the woman with a scrolling LED powered “banner” type name tag that was positioned at the center of a well-supported V-Neck sweater (that was at least a size too small). What was her name or her business? I don’t know. The position of that tag and the length of its corresponding message was a bit too much for me.

After my presentation (I was their speaker for the event), she volunteered that she positioned the tag so that it was “close to her heart.” Whatever. All I can say is that men have told me that provocatively placed name tags were awkward for them.

If you see a name tag that is a good candidate for this article, snap a picture with your phone (so handy now!), and send it in (mjs@MindySelinger.com) Enjoy!

<== This is to show you that MEN can also show questionable judgment in nametag placement. Sure, this guy is 6′11″ so his beltline is a bit higher than the average, but what was he thinking?
