How to Remember People's Names
Have you ever been introduced to someone and realized that within seconds
you have forgotten their name? This can be a problem in business where
much of success is based on your ability to connect with people. You can’t
connect with a prospective client if you have forgotten his or her name.
One of the reasons we forget people’s names is because our brain is
receiving input from too many sources when we meet them. Brain
researchers have discovered in the last few years that your internal dialogue
occupies the same auditory nerve as external sound. It’s hard to remember
a name when you are having an internal conversation with yourself about
what you are going to say next or how you are being perceived.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was a master at recalling names. Asked how he did
it, he said he saw the person's name written out on their forehead. Over the
years simple memory techniques involving sensory integration have evolved
to improve name.
1. Stay externally focused on the person speaking – no self talk. It
distracts the memory.
2. Sight – Picture the name of the person written on their forehead in your
favorite color of magic marker.
3. Sound – Say the name over in your mind and then out loud. “It’s very nice
to meet you, Jason.” Use the name three times in a conversation.
4. Touch – Move your finger in little micro-muscle movements as if you were
actually writing the person’s name or in your mind’s eye, see and feel
yourself writing the person’s name.
5. After you leave a meeting, write down the names of the people you want
to remember with a distinguishing note about each. Since you already have
imagined their name on their forehead, tie the note to a distinguishing part of
their face and list other relevant information on why they are important to you.
If you are meeting large groups of people the technique of “chunking” is
helpful. Most people learn information by chunking it down. Think about your
social security number and telephone numbers.
When it comes to remembering large groups of people, you can group the
names into clusters. Repeat their names back in groups of four or five as
you code each one of them into your memory through your three primary
senses of sight, sound, and touch.
Practice will refine these techniques into habit. Start now!
