A friend of mine once told me that she was terrible with names. Laughing, she said she “met” her friend’s brother, twice. The first time she spent time focusing on his facial features.

Tips on how to remember names
If you still think that remembering faces is easier than names, follow a process that will help you remember their name the next time you face them again. Pay attention to when they first introduce themselves and repeat their name out loud. Saying “Nice to meet you, Jane” will be enough. Find something about them that is easy to remember. Maybe they have a detailed necklace on or an unusual hair color. After you are done speaking with them, say their name one more time. If you get a business card, that’s great for sales. But it won’t always help you remember their name the next networking event you go.
