Hello, My Name Is…

In 21st century America, getting into a dialogue with a unknown person is downright suspect. Making eye contact is awkward. It is best to look busy by engaging with the little screens we carry. It is possible to hide behind the impersonal walls many put up to circumvent face to face contact at inappropriate times. Nevertheless, what if face to face contact was needed? What is the best way to engage a stranger in a conversation? How about hundreds of strangers within a crowd of thousands? Consider name tags?

Making the simplest human connection has grown to become very difficult for many people. We have been more connected, but less connected. It is actually easier than ever to go through life avoiding actual connection with strangers and neighbors, the very people we must engage if we are going to reach out for any purpose ?n any way.

During a recently unprecedented blitz against social awkwardness, Meetup.com along with the Huffington Post decided to hand out over a half a million name tags to the audience for a recent presidential Inauguration. The name tags read Hello, My Fellow American, My Name Is… and attendees were to write in their name, where they are from and slap it on their coat to start interactions with fellow Americans.

In doing so, they turned a crowd into a community.

Individuals are a lot more open to approach and conversation with strangers when their name is visible, such as on name badges. Consider name tags or name badges the next time you happen to be networking in a large crowd of strangers. You are sure to begin conversations that might become productive and possible even profitable in the long run.
