Never forget a name

This is a phrase I treasured since I went to college. According to my professor never forget a name, it is a basic step to boost one’s memory. Well anyway here are the ways to do it.

Shakes hands. Address the person you’re being introduced to by shaking their hand and saying their name out loud. Initiating contact this way makes it easier to commit the name to memory.

Concentrate. Pay attention when the person tells you his or her name. If you didn’t hear it well, ask him or her to repeat it. Looking at them speaks create a visual memory to attach to the name.

Repeat the name for retention. Make a conscious effort to call the person by his or her name when talking to them. “Jane, what’s your opinion on this?” or “So, how was your vacation, Sheila?”
