Remember Names

Tips to remember person's names

• Use the name immediately.
• Repeat it silently to yourself.
• Comment on the name, if possible.
• Use it occasionally in the conversation without overdoing it.
• Use it when leaving.
• Write it down afterwards.
• If you remember visual images most easily, try creating an image based on the name and linking it to some physical characteristic of the person.
• If you are more comfortable dealing with sensory feelings and gut instincts, try linking the name to the impression the person makes or to a reaction you have to the person.
