I definitely think less is more... Most famous/respected - one name only... Steve, Bill, Mark, Musk, Einstein...

I believe that credentials should be reserved for CV's, with the exception of a practicing clinician. And then, if one is not a practicing clinician, the only credentials that should be presented are physicians. I'm really over the business cards with MBA behind ones name (Medical Doctor is a Medical Doctor. Someone who holds an MBA is not a personified MBA).

I earned my credentials and they are important to the work I do in the industry. Additionally, my clients share the same credentials. Why wouldn't I include them on my business care, email signature and for other professional forums - like LinkedIn??

I know of no other industry sector that puts this fruit salad of acronyms after their name like healthcare does - truly a very silly practice where the more acronyms I see after a name the less credence I give to anything they have to say.
