I met some important people a couple days ago. But for the life of me, I couldn't tell you their names!

I have trouble remembering names of people I've just met. I've tried every trick in the book

including saying their name back to them as I am introduced to them. It just goes away. Poof!

Do you

have trouble remembering names?

I’ve read all kinds of ideas on how to remember names…Here is one of those:

Soon after you're introduced, say the person's name aloud. This does two things: It validates that you

heard the name correctly and it allows you to hear the name in your own voice.

Keep saying the name -- at least three times in the conversation.

Be a good conversationalist. Ask questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer.

Think about the person's name. Try to make a vivid link with the name and something he or she says.

End the conversation with the person's name.

Do you have a great tip on how to remember names?
