Why Napkin Communications?

How do you communicate?

You might be wondering why Kathie gave our blog the title of Napkin Communications, so I thought I would give you a quick bit of background.

If you have ever attended a conference that is inspiring and stimulates your thinking, you know that it is necessary to get your thoughts down on paper. Often it is simply a word, or a question, or even a comment, but where do you write it? You don't have a notebook, no laptop, and you are probably not efficient on your PDA, but you have to get the information down. So you do what I am sure everyone has done at least once in their life. You grab a paper napkin from the table and start writing. You might fold it and stick it in your pocket for later, or you might pass it to your neighbor for a response.

Well, the latter was the situation at a recent conference. Napkins were being used everywhere to share ideas and gather responses. We recognized the silliness of the napkins as part of our communications, and Kathie used it to our advantage. On the bottom of one our napkin notes she signed it Napkin Communications.com. This was the perfect name for our communications and she has now taken it a step further and applied the name to our blog.

So take advantage of your blank napkin and communicate with your peers. This is a place for inspiration, thoughts, ideas and questions. Just jot it down with your keyboard and communicate!

Happy Communicating!
