The Nametag Manifesto - Chapter 17: The End of Insecurity

“Everyone should wear nametags, all the time, everywhere, forever.”

That’s my thesis, philosophy, dangerous idea and theory of the universe.

My name is Scott, and I’ve been wearing a nametag for past four thousand days.

And
after traveling to hundreds of cities, a dozen countries, four
continents, meeting tens of thousands of people, constant
experimentation and observation, building a enterprise and writing a
dozen books in the process, I believe, with all my heart, that the
societal implications of wearing nametags could change everything.

This is my manifesto:

17. The End of Insecurity

If everybody wears
nametags, worldwide confidence increases.

We’re all valuable enough to have a name, have an identity
and have a voice. And we don’t feel silly, because everyone else wears a
nametag too.

Instead of being left out of the club, now we all feel like we
matter. There is an overall increase in self-esteem and self-worth.

Ultimately, the more we practice being okay with ourselves,
feeling at home in our own skin – and the more we have an audience to watch us
– the more we know and like who we are. Life without witness, isn’t.

If everybody wears
nametags, no more insignificance, no more complexes about mattering and no more
embarrassment.
