How do you remember Names?


Well, not everyone is gifted with a solid memory. Here’s an easy tip to help your cognitive process to remember names in a meeting:

As you are introduced to people, draw a quick and simple map (as in the picture above) with their names and any identifying characteristics you think will help you recall their names later; i.e., Bob/Beard/Good with Numbers, etc.

It seems my friend Vishu who initially had a tough time figuring the who’s who while on an assignment in South Korea, later started writing down some striking features of the person or something that he/she had said in the meeting on their business cards. This helped him not only to recognize the 'resembling' Koreans, but also to relate better with them.
