Tom Krieglstein says you forget names because you're not actually listening when someone introduces themselves. Ask about the spelling or origin, pause for a beat, or link it to someone you know. These small moves force your brain to actually register it.
Or where did you get that name Samantha from? And then let them respond. Take a moment to actually talk with them about their name. If it's a unique name that has a unique spelling, if it's said in a unique way, or if you have a connection to that name. My brother is also named Dan. That's cool. So we have that connection. Those little moments right there will wake our brain up so that we don't just let that information flow through us without getting processed at all.
