Remembering names is an
important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in
conversation.
When you hear a person’s
name，repeat
it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You
could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to
recite and repeat.
You can let other people
help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask
that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people
will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t
remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will
feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right
on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
Use associations.
Link each person you
meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you
could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce
you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new
names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of
people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from
remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to
remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first
names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to
conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time.
That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear
them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.
