A Super Easy & Quick Way To Remember A Person’s Name

I was at a business networking meeting a few weeks ago and I met a wonderful lady who wasn’t wearing a nametag. I introduced myself and asked for her name. It was a name I had heard before, and could probably remember, but I just wanted to make sure I locked it in. So I repeated her name and said to her “That’s a wonderful name, how do you spell it?” She replied, “K-A-I-T-L-Y-N”. I smiled and asked, “Kaitlyn, K-A-I-T-L-Y-N , do you put a heart over the ‘I’ or just a dot?” She laughed.
In a few brief seconds, I was able to say her name 3 times (repetition, saying the name over and over to lock it in) and I was also able to “see” the letters in my mind (creating an image). Finally, I was able to make a humourous image with a tiny heart over the ‘I’ (the mind remembers different, strange or humourous images far better than just regular images).
It’s a small technique you can use to remember names. People just LOVE to talk about themselves and their name is one of the most important things to them, so have some fun with it.
