I swear, every time I meet someone new, they'll say their name and I'll shake their hand and as soon as that handshake is over, their name is gone from my memory.
I try and try to remember, often times they'll speak their name and I'll follow up with a question of un-importance.
While they answer, it gives myself time to repeat their name in my head over and over again but still manage to forget.
Group settings are the absolute worst as you learn names of people all at one time.
It's especially bad if I don't see you more than once a week.
Back in college, I'd see colleagues once every week or two, and every time I had to ask their name, which felt awful.
What tips and tricks do you guys have to learn people's names?
I feel like knowing someone's name leaves a big impression.
When you manage to remember their name, it gives them a sense of importance and the bond will be more beneficial.
