Cuando acudimos a eventos de networking, a alguna presentación o cualquier fiesta lo más probable es que nos presenten a alguien que no conocíamos o nosotros mismos nos presentamos a un desconocido. El primer paso es decir cuál es nuestro nombre o es la otra persona la que toma la iniciativa, comenzamos a conversar y aprendemos más de la otra persona, durante esos momentos nos acordamos de su nombre pero luego cuando nos encontramos de nuevo a esa persona ya no. Como a muchas personas nos cuesta recordar el nombre de los otros voy a darte varios trucos para solucionar ese problema.
1) Si puedes mira el nombre por escrito. Eso es fácil si te entregan una tarjeta de visita, no la guardes inmediatamente, mira el nombre bien e intenta retenerlo en tu memoria, haz el esfuerzo consciente de recordar. Si lleva una tarjeta identificativa mírala varias veces.
Has this ever happened to you? You’re talking to someone and another person you know walks up but you’ve forgotten their name, so you don’t introduce them to the other person? It’s pretty awkward isn’t it? Well take some consolation that it happens to the best of us. However, if you work on remembering names, this will happen less and less often.
I used to say to myself, “I’m not good at remembering names”, so I gave myself permission to not be adept at it. However, I learned most people are not born with the talent of remembering names; you have to want to recall someone’s name to have success at it.
Here are six tips to help you.
Repeat the name. When you are introduced to someone, say their name in your brain three times. Then, use their name at least three times during your conversation, without sounding like a used car salesman.
Associate the person with a character or celebrity. Say the person you’re meeting is a handsome man named Brad, think of Brad Pitt. Or if the person is older and has white hair you can think of Betty White.
Focus on characteristics. Try thinking of a word that defines the person and starts with the same first letter. I use this one a lot. For instance, think of a bright woman named Sally as “smart Sally”, or an outgoing man as “gregarious Greg”.
Create a mental picture. Let’s say the person’s name is Mary Taylor, you could imagine her sewing clothes.
Use rhymes. Rhyming the person’s name with a word helps it stick in your brain. A boisterous person named Marty could make you think of Marty party.
See the name in print. Take a moment to look at someone’s name tag or their business card when they give it to you to help cement the name in your brain. Seeing something written down can help you remember it.
Back to that awkward situation where you have to introduce two people but can’t remember one of the parties’ name. Simply say to them, “forgive me, it’s been one of those days, will you help me with your name.” That’s so much better than not introducing two people.
Are you talented at remembering names? If so, what tricks do you use to help you? Any you would add to the list above? For those of you who are bad at remembering names which of these tips seem most helpful?
2)Utiliza la rima. No es casualidad que nos acordemos de poemas muchísimos años después, crea una rima con el nombre de la persona que acabas de conocer. Por ejemplo
