No one's ability to remember names is perfect. Yet this important skill gives you the advantage in business and personal relations. Memory lapses often boil down to a question of concentration. Firstly, keep focused. When you find yourself wrestling with a forgotten name ten seconds after an introduction, it's because you were inattentive. This happens primarily because we often are preoccupied with ourselves. Remember, when you're meeting someone new, clear your thoughts of outside concerns. If your mind wanders during an introduction, ask that the name be repeated. To reinforce your memory, dramatise faces. If you try to memorise names by rote, you'll probably forget the information quickly. But if you dramatise names and faces with memorable images, you'll most likely recall them with ease. The best way to retain new names is by 'association- exaggerates? or by forging connections between unlike things. You could also make associations. Once you've memorised a particular feature, transform the person's name into an unforgettable image through rudimentary and even amusing connections. Easy associations work best. The final key is to remember a person's name in review. During your conversation, say the name as often as it seems appropriate. Training yourself to remember names may take a lot of practice. But once you've mastered the art, you can be sure people will remember you.
