Do you often take part in meetings or workshops? Do you have trouble remembering the names of new people?<\/p>\n

In my job as a trainer, I often spend whole days running sessions with people who I have never met before. I make a point of remembering the names of all of the people. I am often asked how I remember everyone or if I have a great memory.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a great memory, but I do work on remembering the names. How do I do it? There are two things I always do.<\/p>\n

2 Easy ways to help you remember names<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. As a trainer, when a new group of people comes into the room, I draw a map of the room<\/strong> in my notepad. I then ask the people to introduce themselves. I write their names on the map and try to include one or two extra details: job title, responsibility, etc.\u00a0 If I am a participant in a meeting, I also look for an opportunity to find out who is who. If everyone introduces themselves, I write their names in the appropriate position on the map. If I am not sure who someone is, I simply ask the person next to me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Whenever I talk directly to someone in the room, I make an effort to use their name.<\/strong> Always!<\/strong> At the beginning of the day \/ meeting, I need to use my map of the room first. I check quickly on the map, note the name and then address the person. Once I have addressed someone 3 or 4 times, I find that their name sticks in my head. At this point, I no longer need to look at the map.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Incredibly simple! First, I write the names of the people on a seating plan. Then, I use the name at every opportunity. The more I use it, the quicker I will remember it.<\/p>\n

      Why not try this yourself at the next meeting<\/a> that you attend?\u00a0 Let us know if you have any other tips for remembering names in the comments areas below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
