Do you avoid interdiction because you can not remember people's names? Have you forgotten someone's name almost before you've said the word " Pleased to meet you"? You and include me need to learn five memory tricks.
Pay Attention
it sounds obvious, but most of us are so caught up with how we are coming across smiling, shaking hands, keeping eye contact, kissing cheeks that we do not listen to the name.
Use It or Lose It
When you are introduce to someone, use their name many times while your talking to them. You will fix their name in your memory with constant repetition, plus it will sound like you're really interested in them. People love it when you use their names. it makes them feel special. Little do the know that you're playing a memory game.
Association Game
This is what I am using most of the time but mine is if I had John named friend if I meet someone with the same name I store it in my memory associated with my older friend name. Memory works best by association, and sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Take a good look at their face. Don't stare, but check out their most prominent feature (Bald head, big nose, hug ears, gappy teeth). New associate the feature with the name. For instance, if you are introduce to Tim and he has a lisp, he become Time the Tongue, or if you meet someone called Edward who has big nose, you might think Pinocchio = wooden boy = Ed-wood. If Gillian has a long neck she became Gill the Giraffe.
