To remember a name, find a rhyme that matches it and create a vivid mental image. With Mike, picture a motorbike racing overhead. The combined sound and image sticks in your memory, and using someone's name signals respect.
There's a technique called mnemonics. I'll give you the basic formula. If you want to remember my name is Mike, what's a popular rhyme with Mike? Mike, Mike motorbike. You can picture a motorbike racing over my head. Now you got a good visual that you'll never lose. And next time you see me, you can say, oh, hey Mike, and you have me magnetized. You have my absolute attention because you're speaking the most important word to me.
