Remembering the names of people you meet will be an added advantage in social situations.We face this dilemma almost on a daily basis.
To cultivate the habit of remembering names of people you come in contact with, take the following steps:
1.Ensure you pay attention whenever you are being introduced to someone.
2.Repeat the name to yourself a few minutes after you meet the person.
3.Immediately after meeting or as soon as possible,write down the new name thrice while trying to picture his or her face.
4.If the name is difficult or uncommon, ask how to spell it. You’ll remember it better if you know its spelling or can picture it in your mind.
5. Connect or associate a name with a common word you can remember. For example,the name Sir Deane sounds like ‘’sardine”
6.Connect the name,if needs be, to the person’s job or hobby. For example,Morpe the cop.
