Unforgettable Techniques to Help You Remember Names
from Bigg Success July 15, 2008
Today we welcomed Bill Clennan, the Memory Man. Bill is a professional speaker who has given presentations at over 10,000 events and been inducted into the Speakers’ Hall of Fame. In his career, he has helped over one million people improve their memory. One of my weaknesses is remembering names. How can I get better at it? . People don’t remember names because they don’t think they can. It’s almost impossible to do something if you don’t think you can. . So we have to spin it around and start thinking that we can remember names. . Exactly. In fact, what I tell people is decide that you’ll remember 100 percent of the people 100 percent of the time. . How do you suggest we do that is repeating it back the best way? . . I never suggest to people to repeat it back. If we meet someone who uses our name over and over, we start wishing they would back off. But here’s the good news – just by thinking of the sound of somebody’s name, that part of your brain shows increased activity. To your brain, thinking about that sound is the same as saying it. I’m emphasizing the sound because when we meet people, we hear their name we don’t see it. That’s one of the things that makes remembering names rather difficult. . The fusion technique – fuse the face with the name . At the moment I hear a person’s name, I look at their face. So I take that information along with the sound of their name and, just for a moment, I bring them together. I connect the two things. So when I see their face again, there’s a place in the brain where those two things originally came together. The next easiest thing I might say to myself, “Tryin’ Brian”, “Shirley Girly”, “Silly Billy”, “Fancy Nancy”, “Slim Jim”, or “Georgie Porgie”. . There you go – except I’ve figured it out. Mary-Lynn’s been using this fusion technique for years because she always calls me “Georgeous”! I think I like that better than “Georgie Porgie”! . For a huge portion of the history of our species, we did not have the written word. Information was passed along in rhythm, rhyming, chant, and dance. So why not use that technique? . “Syllable-ize” – break the name into sounds . When you meet someone who has a multi-syllabic name, break it into sounds. I met someone named “Ken Oracheski”. So I just pictured him with an oar stuck through his chest and he was on skis. . The rhythm method . I met a guy in Honolulu whose name is “Takabayashi”. The very moment I heard his name, I went “talk-a-bye ashi in the tree top, when the wind blows ” When you tie things together in sound, get the first part the rest of it comes along for free. So listen for the rhythm. This is one of the clues if you have to meet four or five people in a hurry. Tie them together in sound and you’ll remember the whole string of names. I call it the rhythm method. It’s especially for Catholic folks! . I was going to say that I’d heard of the rhythm method, but it didn’t have anything to do with remembering names? . Yeah, but this one works better! . .
